@fuzzweed.co.uk Om nom nom nom (I like the blue ones)
@fuzzweed.co.uk I’ve never thought of counter-snorkering my printouts. Lovely stuff!

@gamesblackhole.bsky.social That would be great. We Spectrum and SAM nerds could do with a re-stock too, please!
@gavtrdq.bsky.social That’s exactly the sort of insight that’s worth the price of a Kit-Kat.
@zxguesser.bsky.social RRRrrr frrrrr frrrrkk zzzrrk. Rrrrrl hrrrrrvv trrrrr srrrrrrt rrGrrrn.
@whathosnorkers.bsky.social Oh, yeah! I think that was my first too. Caught part of it on TV or something and then thought about it for YEARS until finally seeing it properly!
@fuzzweed.co.uk Personal computers? Oh if you insist. Just remember 1) do not expose to water, 2) keep out of direct sunlight, 3) do not feed after midnight, and whatever you do, do NOT connect to the Internet
@breakintoprogram.co.uk Hahah, amazing! I genuinely didn’t know they were a thing. A device worthy of the name “Science Oven” after all.
@megaslippers.net Ah, yes. I knew something about it was annoying me but hadn’t put it into words. That’s exactly it.
@breakintoprogram.co.uk Surely in Space Year 2025™ they should have beam forming or something to eliminate the need to rotate? Can’t be that hard if those ugly gamer Wi-Fi routers can do it! Right? My mum bought a new microwave recently and it has a rotary dial and an actual bell like it was designed in the 1950s. Yuck. 😂
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Yeah that’s really nice. Impulse engines upgraded to Warp!
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Yep, I hear the difference now, thanks for your help. I ran the .cop through d-compile and then re-exported from E-Tracker and that shrill melody is gone.
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Right, I see - thank you.
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Brill, thanks!
In the meantime I’ve had a read of the E-Tracker manual (it’s so much better than just booting up the software and guessing!)
That arcane track seems to have e a different header or something compared the other COPs on ZXArt. I’ll try running it through D-Comp and see what it says!
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Oh I’m such a wally! I didn’t realise COP files were already compiled, I assumed it was a tracker source file. Yeah the ports are the same! 🤦♂️ 🍳
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Aha, yes I used the export-with-player option to generate the binary file.
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Ah, thanks. It’s the one from saa1099tracker.borik.net
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Here’s a direct recording of the tune. Enjoy! ☺️🎶

@flatduckrecords.co.uk Haha! Good luck with the repair pile! Hopefully some juicy fixes in there (I enjoyed the recent C64 saga!)
@flatduckrecords.co.uk That’s a great idea! Funnily enough I was just looking at the header format of these tracker files to pull out the track info! 😁
