don't know, if you already corrected this one in GB :
Game "Blondell" is :
Rescue of Blondell
Compute! 1985-01
Grant Albrecht

No, that one hadn't been corrected. Although the listing says this should be for 8k RAM, and the listing I have runs in unexpanded, so someone managed to adapt it otherwise.

So, that might be interesting for you :
Found it somewhere in internet.
All listings of Compute! and Compute Gazette on *.d64 and some on *.d81

i've put it to megaupload : ( ca. 9,5 MB)

Says it's unavailable. I'll give it another go shortly. But cheers for that, might be useful. I imagine I have a lot of the Compute games already (from the normal and Gazette issues) but not all of them have proper assigned credits to them.

I wanted to throw this out their. I was checking out some games in gamebase 20. I came across a game called Get Lost! and tried it out. I noticed that in the 3-D view of the maze that a pixel was out of place. The pic in GB20 doesn't have the out of place pixel. I then tried the version that I had in my collection I downloaded from Arma's website. The pixel discrepancy was not their. Maybe this one needs to be checked. This may be something that happened on my computer. I did have a hard drive failure recently.

Many of the screenshots were taken with Vice 1.22. I just checked the game against Vice 1.22, 2.1 and 2.3, and the pixel is correct in 1.22, and out of place in 2.x versions. Might have to raise a bug report if it isn't out of place on the real machine.

Is this the pixel that's out of place?
Weird!

It kind of looks like the Shift-P graphic is wrong, possibly when it was copied down from ROM to RAM.

That's the one.

Hi Mayhem, please do you know where I could download the latest version of Gamebase20?

v0.3 hasn't been released yet, it's still on v0.2 from December 2009. I'm waiting for Vice 2.4 to come out first.

I think that is a good move, too, because the 2.4 development effort has been unbelievable so far. For my Linux preferences, I am going to have to write a gamebase export into something I can transform over for my frontend... but looking forward to that tinkering!

Mayhem · Post by **Mayhem** » Thu Jul 12, 2012 4:19 am

The reasons are... well, yes, there has been a lot of development. 2.2 sadly broke TAPs, and 2.3 broke the paddle support, so 2.4 fingers crossed won't have any gotchas hurting GB20! It is likely that I will disable support for 2.2 and 2.3 in the emulator wizard as well. If people want to use them, they can add them in manually.

And then after v0.3 I have to decide about supporting the newer Gamebase frontend, with more fields to fill, and a slightly different GUI. So yes, v0.3 of GB20 will be Gamebase 1.2 compatible, but after that, it's probably going to be 1.3 only.

Thanks Mayhem, looking forward to it : )

Quick question to people: v0.3 of GB20 as it stands still supports the format used by v1.2 of the Gamebase frontend. If you load the database into v1.3 then it will be converted on first use. After the release of v0.3, would you prefer me to switch to the new v1.3 database format instead? It does mean people on v1.2 would have to update their frontend.
