HARDMCTSHair-raising hardware problems? StephenAdams is the man to put your facts straight.Write to him at Hard Facts, Your Spectrum,14 Rathbone Place, London W1P

This months first trouble comes with PC Gibson-Barnfather's typing. He's having problems tappingthings in on his Hi-Soft assembler and FDS keyboard.The root of this profibly lies in the keyboard itself andthe Spectrum model 3. Try phoning Hi-Son on (0582) 686421 and hassling them for clearer instructions!

Now to the reliability of second-hand TVs. Mr Askerthas a couple that are always playing up and stopping himfrom loading his tapes. Sounds like they're about to blowto me! Duck — and pack them off to your TV repairmanquick!

''How do I use my RS232 with my EP44 printer?". isthe question on Farley Thomas's lips. Your best bet is touse Maplin's Spectrum RS232 interface along with yourown program. (Try modifying Andy Pennell's Copyroutines in Dumps or Distinction VS issue 41. This wayyou'd also be able to use a modem, which you couldn'tdo with an Interface 1 or a Kempston interface.

Talking of Copying, Le McNally wants to be a Copy catand can't! The reason is quite simple — he's using theTandy printer/planer and Copy is designed for dot-matrixprinters, not plotters like his. Again try modifying AndyPennell' s Copy routines to your needs.

Bother with Basic in Bangkok is J F Osborne'sproblem! He gets nonsense in Basic unless he removesthe tape leads and types in New. Only then will hismicrocirive work. This probably means the interface isloose or the power supply is too low, so that shouldn't betoo hard to put right. Also. Mr Osborne wants to modifythe collector's pack database to select on more than onecharacter. Anyone out there in the know?

M K Frankland finds a similar no-go situation occurswhen he uses his Microdrive and Alphacom printertogether. Well, this could be due to using long cables.not, then I suggest you get the printer changed. Also,seeing as you asked. Andy Pennell's book, Mastering theMicrodrive is published by Scott Press. 12-13 LittleNewport Street, London W1 at E6.95. And that's all theplugs he's getting from me — three in one month andhe's got his own column!

Have any of you tried to upgrade to a Spectrum+ andfound a downgrade In performance? Ian Islay found thatafter the upgrade his programs would no longer SAVEproperly. Mmmm, it's just possible that your Speccy waschanged during the keyboard upgrade. I suppose, if therecording of SAVEd tapes is low, then it's faulty. Have agood listen. Also check the Save and Load leads andeven try swapping them over. II all this fails, ask UncleClive for a replacement.

Finally. OS H o bd e n f a nc i es the idea of using Telextext

on his computer to save spending E350 on a new TV.Well. I suppose it's possible but you may have difficultylinding an adaptor to fit your present TV and there's verylittle actually broadcast for computer users on Teletext.You suggest using the VIX5000 modem as analternative. I'd say you'd probably get more out of this asyou'd then have access to Prestel and Bulletin Boards.That way you'd get hints and tips from other users. Aword of warning though, modems are great fun, butwatch that telephone bill! This is the voice of experiencespeaking.

I hope rve smoothed over a few of your hitches.Whatever your hardware troubles, write to me at theusual address. Hard Facts. Your Spectrum. 14 RathbonePlace. London W1P 10E.

al(The Spectrum ShadowROM DisassemblyMelbourne House

8_95Here it is at last. a long-awaited literary offeringfrom Melbourne House! TheInterlace 1 may have beenaround for months, butthis is spankin' new!

The book takes you straight into the single mostimportant concept you'll have to grasp about the ShadowROM — hook codes. As you'll see from Andy Pennell'sarticle on the subject in this issue, there are threeversions of the Interface 1 ROM. One of the ways ofgetting round the problem this causes is using hookcodes, as they re-direct routines to the right placeirrespective of which version of the ROM you have.

You all know by now that with Interlace 1 attached toyour Speccy. adding extra commands in Basic is a lairlysimple matter. Not nearly so many people seem to knowhow to add them or lust how much power they can pumpinto a Speccy.

This is where the book comes in, Not only does itexplain how to add commands. but it also gives somemighty impressive examples. For starters. there's adouble POKE command which allows you to POKE in asixteen bil number all in one go. Next, we have a stringPOKE command which POKEs a whole string ofcharacters into memory at a given address.

There's an improved Beep command and a wholesuite of commands to deal with the microdrives. and theRS232 serial port.

To get down to business, about a fifth of the waythrough the book, the actual disassembly begins. Thispart of the book follows the format of its forerunner. TheComplete Spectrum ROM Oisassembly. Both books havea section on each page on ROM Disassembly, split intoseparate routines, and documented right down to whichinput parameter are required in the registers and how theroutine can be used.

At first sight, both books seem pretty similar but oneslight ditlerence is worth noting. Basically, theannotation in this book is much easier to understand soyou'll pick up a whole lot more from II.

Reading the routine descriptions certainly taught me alot about the workings of microdrives. the network andthe RS232. One gem of inlormation brought to light isthat the shadow ROM contains a handful of routines thatII never actually uses but, which have obviously been leftoff ever since the ROM was written. These routines areonly for printing hex numbers and examining memory,but manyprogrammers may find them valuable timesavers.

The book ends on a rather impressive note. with asection ol appendices summarizing everything from theShadow ROM system variables to the workings of themicrodrive and RS232. There's even a section on hackingaround with the Shadow ROM yoursell,

I can safely say, that this book goes way beyond myoriginal expectations and it's a darn good buy too at

Now for the craftierhackers among you, here'sa tricky tip to get youInfinite lives on Invasion OfThe Body Snatchas• thanksto the "Led lepplin freak".You start by:CLEAR 32767:M E R G E—P O K E23787.201: PRINT USA23776: NEWNext, enter this lot, andyou'll be there!CLEAR 32767:MERGE“":POKE 23787,201:PRINTUSR 23776: NEW10 POKE 61724,48: POKE61725,24220 FOR I = 6200010 6202530 READ A: POKE I,A:NEXT I40 DATA 33, 57, 242, 34,12. 91. 195. 0, 91, 6250 DATA X. 50, 150, 159,62, 24, 50, 246, 17060 DATA 175. 50, 242, 170,195.0, 15835 PRINT USA 61440

Leander has smashed intothis one for us. It's tricky toload, so first key in this:10 FOR A= 232961023309: READ 2: POKE A,Z:NEXT A20 DATA 55, 62, 255, 221,33. O. 64, 17, 0, 192, 205.86, 5, 201

Position the tape pastthe loader, and past theheader on the mainsection. then do RANDUSR 23296 and play thetape. When it has loadeddo POKE 35453.0:RANDOMIZE USR 24770and hey presto!

Now for a bit of AstmBlasting. GrahamRobinson has made anexplosive discovery onAstro Blaster. To get into it,load the game as normal,play it and get a highscore. When it's finishedasking you to put yourname in. press Tend you'lldrop into Basic. Then doPOKE 27422.0 For endlesslives, or 26396 for asuitable number of lives.Next, do GOTO 30 to save anew copy. or GOTO 40 for anew game.

J Eagleson wants to getdown to basics, or ratherreturn to Basic in themiddle of games. He hadthe right idea by doing anEl, then a RST 8, but thereare two hitches this way.First oft, ERR_ SP may beset up for a crash. andsecondly Basic may nolonger be accessible at this

stage ./SW(the game youhad in mind) tails into thelatter category as it usesthe low 16K al RAM forScratchpad and thatdestroys the whole Basicarea, as well as its systemvariables.

Finally, a few moans andgroans. Apparently some olyou had problems with thePyjamarama POKEs in VS14. Has any one got anyclues?

Last but not least I havea request for a POKE forinfinite lives on JumpingJack. I'm sure thatsomeone will spring theanswer on me soon!

Happy hacking until nextmonth.

Straight into your phonecalls this month. PaulReilly from Stockportechoed a number of yourcalls. Paul was havingtrouble typing in thegraphics listed in ProgramPower_ Its lust that hecouldn't work out the rightgraphic character simplyby looking at it. Welt Paul,our solution to yourproblem is to type in othercharacters. say question

saying Anyway, he wantsto access part of the screendirectly and doesn't knowhow to go about it. Asmany of you are probablyaware. the screen is splitinto three 2K parts andthen these three parts aresplit yet again into anothereight parts. That makes itpretty tricky hying to findout the address el anyparticular pixel on thescreen without resorting toa complex formula.Course. that's one way butyou'd have to learn theformula and then use itover and over againwhenever you wanted tofind Out where you were.But there is another easierway. First. have a good lookat the diagram — it's thefirst one that's everappeared in this columnand if you don't look at it. Iwon't be allowed to haveanother' II shows the two-

marks. where the graphic b y t e address of the pixelcharacter ought to be. Then position you're after, splitonce it's all in. run the i n t o its component bits.

Next up, those of youlucky enough to win theSaga keyboard/ YSMegallasie combinationmay be finding that luck'snot on your side.Apparently. there's aproblem that normallygoes unnoticed on astandard Speccy. butMegaBasic weeds il out —and prevents the keyboardtrom working. Lady Luck'snot left you completely.though, 'cos David White ofSaga Systems haspromised to give all YSMegallask owners with theSaga keyboard a free add-on to cure the problem. Getin touch with Saga and tell

I them the sorry tale and' they'll send you the free

troublesortin' goodiesHow's your machine

coming along? StephenRaldings of Harwich ishaving a good grapple withit, he tells me, only hedoes have one problem.Just the one, I felt like

binary. The last five bytesof the low byte can beconsidered as the columnnumber for the printposition. Say you want thecolumn number 12. thenthese bytes would contain01100 which is 12 inbinary. Right, got that?

Now. I'm sure you cansuss out how it works Illtell you that the live bitsthat are split (two in thehigh byte and three in thelow byte) are the linenumbers from 0-23, onceagain in binary. Finally, thelast three bits of the highbyte contain the pixel rownumber within thecharacter cell from 0-7.

Anyway, you've heardenough from me foranother month. But don'tforget — if you need helpwith your programming,we can do a bit of straighttalking any Wednesday orFriday.

RIGHT BURDCur! I could kick meselLReading last-month-but-one'sish. July, 1 saw the prog, CopyRight which does exactly thesame fing as a little effort ofmine. (Boot, kick, clobber). I fI'd only sent it to Y S.w h e n E dwritten it. (The thing is, it wasincluded in a softwaretransmission by Pennine Radiobefore Christmas). Maybe I'dhave got some money (sob)for me trouble. ( There'sprobably a moral in heresomewhere but I'm blowed ifI'm going to waste spacelooking for it! Ed)

While I'm on the subject ofme being a complete Anorak,I recently down-graded to aZX81 (me bumps were felt,before you ask, and thcy werefound to be faulty), havinghad to sell my faithfulSpectrum (well, not so faithful— it was my eighth) to pay theElectric Board.

Sieve BurdOval, BromleyI f only they'd cut you off —only I had. Ah well, a word ofwarning for any othercomplete Anoraks out there -stay in the closet, purleasel Ed.

NO STRINGSATTACHEDI'm really pleased with mycopy of YS MegaBasic but Iwas a touch miffed that MikeLeaman hasn't included I.eftS.RightS, and MidS stringhandling facilities. They cancome in really handy whenwriting string handlingprograms.

You can simulate thesefeatures, though, with thesimple additon of these lines atthe beginning of yourprogram:10 DEF EN LS(AS,X)=AS(TO X) 20 DEF FN RS(AS,X)—AS (X+1 TO) 30DEF EN MS (AS,X,Y)AS(X TO (X+Y) -1)Now, just use EN RS, EN LSand EN MS in place ofRightS. LeftS and MidS withina Basic program.

MEGADRIVIN'wonder if any other readers

veith microdrives havecustomised their version of Y,S-MegaBasic with predefinedfunction keys as I have. I findthe microdrive commandsfinger-knotting, so I gotstraight down to defining thekeys for save, load, erase andso on. Try the following code:

KEY_1, "INPUT" "SAVEFILENAME:""; aS:SAVE*"" m"";1;aS"-i-ehrS 13

Now to use it, go intoextended mode and presssymbol shift/ I. It asks for thefilename and thenautomatically saves it tomicrodrive. You do the samesort of thing on the differentuser-defihable keys for load,format and so on.

Now comes the good bit Tosave your customised versionof YS Mega Basic, completewith the defined keystrokes,act hold of the- MegaBugfixprogram from a previousissue, load it in and when theSpectrum NEWs itself, save

15

the code as SAVE*-rn" II;"MB"CODE 44996,

20373 (you must remember toerase the old code first) andthen once you load it in eachtime the keys will always bethere.

Oh, by the way, I thinkMega Basic's great. ( i s'posethat counts as creeping but wethink it's great too so we'll letyou off! Ed).

NI D O'DeaBlackpool. LanesI'd like to say O'Dea, O'Deabut this is really ratherimpressive. Thanks for theuseful snippet. Course, whatwe're really after from all youYS Megareaders are somegood meaty programs thatmake use of the 1'1411 potentialof this mighty program. Howabout a few games (in 3Dnow, of course)? And forwhy? 'Cos we want to play 'emand perhaps even print 'em,that's why. Troubleshootin'Pete.

WORRA STARFor the first lime ever I'veactually completed a Speccygame. I was so pleased I called\lelbourne House to tellsomeone how much I enjoyedS'tarion and discovered (shock,horror) that I wasn't the firstto finish it, Did they offer mea Porsche? n o t on yourtime-warp, mate! A Mini? Apacket of Polos? Not even somuch as a congratulation.Won't anyone boost my egoand tell me how wonderful Iam?

Barry BlitzLondon SW9Well done, Barry. You'rereally mega. Wow, what Iwouldn't give to be as ultra-amazing as you. I f only I hadhalf your talent I could'vereached for the stars. I e r ,seem to have dozed off w h a twas the question again? Ohyeah, your Polos are in thepost. Ed

STAR STRUCKGood timing — the greatarticle on Starion arrived justafter I forked out on the game.

les a pity that Chris Wood'sPOKE for infinite hulls isn'twhat it first appears to be. Ifound that after a while myship was being destroyed bysome unknown alien force,even though the temperaturewasn't getting too high and theoxygen and hydrox didn't runout.

So, remembering all thatTerry Bulfib said in YS 10 and11 about hacking I whippedout my machine code monitor

What's all this then? Playingabout with the index in thefront of oursplendiferousrilliantaccok(Thank you, Mary Poppins!Ed) mag. I decided to 'aye abutchers at that 3D wotsit onpage 48.

derr w h e r e ' s it gone?Just a mangy rabbit glaring atme from a top hat. I turnedback to the front again only tosee the rabbit's twin sittingnext to the large blue number28. " I wonder what's on page28?" said one brain-cell toanother. (OK, clever clogs,who did the other brain cellbelong to? Ed). Guess what?Correct!! How on earth didyou know? Tclepath T e l l e

How can anyone take thisadvert seriously?

I f I took theiroffer (quick more pills), notonly would I have to replaceall of my software, but all myhacking equipment as well.And, as I've built up a E500system, it 'd make it a veryexpensive folly.

My, how it's grown — almost a MegaSpectrum! Which of these useful little add-ons could you dowith on your Speccy? To help you choose, Stephen Adams has done his bit and come up with apiecemeal review of them all.

A/D AND D/A BOARDSEPROM Services/C23.95- £57.95 (AID), C26.95-054.95 (D/A)The A/D board allows you to digitise the voltage input intoa number the computer can then understand by changing itfrom an analogue reading to digital number. The DiA boardlets you send out a voltage that's not digital (not just on oroff). You can use the 0/A board to send voltages to controlthings like amplifiers or train sets — speeding the trains upor slowing them down. In schools and labs these boardsare often used to replace the voltmeter, ammeter andresistance meters — that way they can have an accuratecomputerised version that's b e to take several versions atonce. You can even use the boards with a simple Basicprogram to find out where in the circuit something'shappening.

V a r i o u s / C 1 5-0 5 5You'll find sound boards in all sorts ofshapes and sizes but they all basicallyuse the same chip, AY8910 (orATY8912). So, if you want to let ripwith a guitar riff on your Speccy, let meexplain how they work They providethree different oscillators (or voices asthe cool dudes in the music biz call'em) and a noise output that canproduce anything from pips to seasounds. You can program theoscillators to produce any audio toneand mix them all together to formmusic or background sounds to yourgames. You can even use a soundboard as the basis for a very cheapsynthesizer. You can add to the basicset-up so that you ve got more notes toplay with and the output can repeatany rhythm or note at varying pitcheswhile you tinkle out the rest of the tune.And the big plus if you're into games isthat this needn't keep you from thejoystick as the chip will carry onproducing the last note until youreprogram it.

Choose a sound board according toyour needs and wallet but one tip is togo tor one with a good amplifierincluded — the output from the chip ismuch too low to hear at all,

SP ROM UPLOADERCambridgeMicrocomputers /C29.95This uploader contains two sockets for8K or 16K ROMs or EPROMs so thatthey can be transterred to any place inmemory at the push of a button. Youcan also go straight from power up intoaa program without recourse toLOAD—. T he a dv an ta ge of EPROMs is

that they can contain anything you like,but you must use an EPROM blower.How about using them to change thecharacter set or run an automaticprogram in conjunction with a timerthat turns on the Spectrum or even torun advertisements in shop windows —well, I've done that anyway!

IN PU T AND

Various/C15-35These are the arms andlegs, eyes and ears of acomputer. They allow it tofind out just what's goingon around it. You can connectup an input port for use as ajoystick, a weather station reader, alight pen or even sensors for a burglaralarm — and that's just a few of theuses for this versatile board. Theoutputs are used to control relays thatcan operate lifts, dial the telephone orcontrol a robot arm. The limitsof the input/output port areyour own imagination.

a r i o u s / C 3 0-0 5 0

As add-ons go, this must be the mostpopular one after the joystick interface.The interface can come with tapesoftware that has to be loaded upbefore you use the unit, like the oneshown, or with a controlling EPROMbuilt in, like the Kempston E interface.Whether you choose a top-notchdaisywheel printer or a slightly moredown-market dot-matrix, it'll usuallycome with a Centronics socket for theinterface to plug into. Mind you. if youfind that the printer you've chosen hasa serial interface then you'll have to layyour hands on an RS232 interface. Youmay find the choice limiting,though. While there areas many Centronicsinterfaces as there areprinters, the numberof RS232 interfaces isbasically limited to theInterface 1 and ZX LPrintversions.

If you want to go in forscreen copying, you'll find thatit's been brought to a fine artwith units like the Kempston Ebut with serial interfaces screencopies are still a shady area,

E d

_PRINTER INTERFACE

: E S EPROM BLOWERCambridge Microcomputers/C29.95You'll find one ot these boards very useful it you want to store any of yourprograms seini-permanently. It can handle data up to a 16K limit and works bycreating ROM chips which replace Basic, so that you can upload a program almostinstantly — though you IIneed a ROM SP uploader for that. Programs stored likethis can't be altered by POKEs or by turning off the power. You'll need four 9 voltbatteries to program it but it'll usually run on -5 volts from the Spectrum.

If you want to reprogram it, you'll have to put ultra violet light through thewindow in the top — that's the only way of wiping the ROM clean This is certainlya great way of storing your favourite routines but. untortunately. it lust doesn'thave the capacity to save most machine code games,

21

Rela MONITOR ADAPTORAdapt Electronics/C36.95If you've considered using a colour monitor because it'll giveyou clear letters and graphics plus sharper, brighter colours,then you're going to need an adaptor. This is because theSpectrum doesn't have a Red/Green/Blue video output thatmost normal monitors use The RGB interface by-passes anycircuitry inside the monitor, so it can directly control thetelevision tube. That way it eliminates the 'fuzz andbackground lines found on most tellies. The new versionfrom Adapt shown here now includes a through bus andshould work with all monitors.

VT X 5000

MICROSLOT

Modem Heuse/C49.95With one of these modems you'll have all the equipment youneed to operate a telephone line through your Spectrum —though you'll still have to do the dialling manually! Prestelsoftware is supplied in ROM and if you're quick on the up-take you can get three month's Micronet subscription free.You can also use your modem to swop program data orcode with your friends and/or different computers via aBulletin Board — one of the free message systems dottedaround the country.

yes, it's here! After all the waiting

Software Projects has producedanother Willy game — though it'snot the now (perhaps) mythical

Willy Meets The Taxman.Jet Set Willy 11 started life on the

Amstrad as a conversion from the orig-inal ISIV. But the programmer added somany rooms that Software Projectsheard the tink le o f the cash tills andthought i t wor th re-releasing on theSpectrum. And before you ask, this ver-sion was not written by Matthew Smith,who may or may not be work ing onsomething else — indeed, may or may notbe working but by one Derrick ROWS011,

This time round the game's been pro-tected a might more than the original./SW and once again you have one of

those funny colour charts to lose — but atleast it's part of the insert this time! As allhackers know though, this only makesputting in the POKEs more fun.

So, how are the two games different?Well, all the original rooms are still there,although in some places new ones havebeen added to pad out the gaps in theoriginal map. You can now get to theConservatory Roof via the Banyan Treeand even complete it when you get there!The previously unique sprite from UnderThe Drive is also there now, plus plentyof other places. (Sounds as though some-ones been cloning around! Ed). As forthe rest of the re-decoration on the orig-inal rooms — well, the conveyor-stair-ways in the Chapel and Halfway Up TheEast Wall are just ordinary stairways now

and the music is the same as in ManicMiner. T he reason fo r that becomesobvious when you finish the game.

It has to be said that some of the roomsaren't that thrilling — the first two you seeafter the Bathroom contain yet anotherdig at Eugene Evans (remember him? Hewrote Wacky Waiters) and a reference toTechnician Ted (the authors work forMarconi, geddit? Nape, well you'll justhave to take a look!) . From then onthings start to look up — some of therooms are really quite vicious and one,Dinking \tater? is impossible to escapefrom. There's also a room which youcan't get to without cheating called, waitfor it — Cheat.

Just take a look at the complete map ofWilly 's world to see how much it's grown.

But that's enough about playing it. WhatI'm sure you're waiting f o r are thePOKEs! A l l the data for the rooms isstored in a very different format to thatused by Matthew Smith. Each roomtakes up a different amount o f datadepending o n its contents. F o r thatreason a room editor would be virtuallyimpossible t o wr ite. Ev en the roomnames are compressed — every time theword 'the' crops up it's replaced with 01h.and The Nlegatree' with 05h and so on.Each room's data address is found from atable at 47869 (BAFT)h) so you can findthe compressed room name followed byits four exits - and, of course, you canchange them.

It looks as though the programmer hashad a crack at trying to hide the lives

counter — he uses a byte with the bottombit set (11111110 in binary) and herotates it when you die. So, when a zerofalls in to the carry flag you've had yourchips. It's tough luck on the programmer,though, because when you've found thisout, setting it to 255 1111111b gives youinfinite lives with only one POKE. If onlyall programs were that easy to doctor!One side effect of this method, though, isthat you can't turn off the golden oldie ofa tune when you're playing the game.•Ows abou t t h a t t h e n boys'n'gir ls-Aaaargh!

If you're dying to see how the gameends, you'll have to collect at least 150 ofthe 175 objects. This time round you'llnot see our Willy exploring the depths ofhis too because someone in the sickbay is

doing that (Now that's sick! Ed) and theloo in the bathroom is fatal. Of course, ifyou reckon 150 objects is a bit steep, youcan select the number of objects you wantto collect. We fi nd that one is a goodnumber!INFINITE POKESNow, we've got a b it o f a confession tomake. Having hacked the game and comeup with all the obvious POKEs we got a bitcarried away.

And ifyou land on a nasty' without the Invincib-ility POKE it can get more than a littlefrustrating.• Number of MonstersYou can use this to choose the maximumnumber of sprites you feel like facing inany room. This way you can give yourselfa sporting chance in rooms like Eggoidsand the 1Vightmare Room. A lthough youcan pick a number from 1-15, there cannever be more than 9. This is part of abinary AN D instruction and not a simpleCOMPA RE. This means that i f youchoose 3 and there are four sprites in theroom, you won't get any. O f course, youcan select zero but surely you want somesort of challenge. Ropes aren't affectedby all this but you'll see that swing a lotfaster when there's less to pr int on thescreen. Tarzan-type tactics, I 'm afr iad• Fall Any HeightAlthough you can already do this i fyou're invincible, it can often be more funto play the game with just a couple of use-fu l POKEs like Infi nite Lives and thisone.

• Tr ip Switch OnI f you're really lazy you can use thisPOKE to save yourself the bother of evenhaving to set the trip before you toddle offto the yacht.

• The TeleporterNow you can really join the Jet Set t h i s isthe age of the teleporter! As there wasn't onebuilt in we've added it and made it a doddleto use.

Ever since the new Interface 1ROMs appeared, there's been a

If you cast your mind back to I'S issue 10,you'll remember that I described there thenew versions of the Interface 1 ROM. Well.since then, I've had many requests for thefull details o f the location o f variousroutines in the new ROMs. So, to satisfy thedemand. I've come up with a complete con-version chart from ROM 1 (the old one) toROM 2 (the new one). I'll come on to ROM3 later!

ellie first thing you've got to do is find outexactly which ROM you've got. Here's thebest way to do this:

SAVE'"m";1;" w i n-C O D E 2 3 7 . 1 : L O A D

•"m";1;"rorn"CODE 23296! PRINT PEEK23296

This then copies one byte from the shadowROM into RAM and should print one ofthe following numbers:

ROM 1 2 5FlOM 2 1 1 3ROM 3 1 1 5

If you get any other number, it looks asthough you've got an even newer ROM —in whic h case, w r ite a n d t e l l m cimmediately!MAP READINGNow, say you use a routine in ROM 1 andyou want to find it in ROM 2, how do you goabout it? Well, first find the block on the lefthand side of the chart in which your blocklies. Hopefully, it'll be white. If it's not, thenthere's no easy way of working out the newentry point 'cos there probably isn't one.Rut so long as it's white, note the address atthe start of the block, which we'll call x I ,and the corresponding address of the sameblock on the right, x2. If your routine is x,the new address is x—x 1+x l

To give you an example. a popular entrypoint is IC58, the CAT routine. (1 was hop-ing there'd be enough ROM to swing a CATin! Ed) This lies in the white block startingat 1C43 which has a corresponding value of1C3D on the right. So, the new value is1C58-1C43+1C3D-1C52. Simple whenyou know how!

Going the other way about, from ROM 2to ROM I is just as easy. Given that theaddress is y, all you have to do is find thewhite block on the right and note its startingvalue, y 1 Now, fi nd the correspondingblock on the left and note its starting value,y2. The resulting address in ROM 1 is theny—yl+y2.

ROM MAPPINGHer e, side by side, are the tw o m aps of RO Ms 1 a nd 2 w i th addr esses w r i tten in hex.The com m ents on the r ight give a clue for the cur ious as to w hy each of the changeshas been m ade.

You won't earn your wingsgrounded back at base —

Squadron Leader Ross Holmandidn't. He's flown more activemissions in Dambusters thananyone else. Prepare for his

pre-bomb briefing.I irst, the background_ In I 943 the Battle ofBritain had been won but Germany wasvery fa r f rom being broken. Wh a t wasneeded was an almighty body blow to herindustrial backbone—the Ruhr Valley. Buthow? Bombing one milita ry base o r onefactory would be forgotten within a week —production made up within two. No. thislied to be big — and permanent. So, a daringplan was devised to destroy the very heart ofall that power — the three dams on theMoehne. Eder and Sorpe rivers. But a tasklike that would require a new type of bomb— one that would bounce; a new type o fplane — the I .ancaster was adapted; and anew type of man — the 1)ambusters.

Your prime objective in Darnbusten is toreach the rank of Squadron Leader — anddestroy the three dams. But before you getclose, you'll need to go out on a fa ir fewpractice flights. Fortunately, there are twoskill levels that'll take you to that stage:Practice and Hight Lieutenant.

The practice flights will help you to per-fect your dam runs. I t 's all a question o fjuggling the different roles you have to play.Is the airspeed correct. are you at the right

altitude, is the bomb primed, do the spot-lights overlap? There's an awfu l lo t t omaster — and that's without the threat ofenemy action. You'll have to learn to set thespeed of the aeroplane to 230 mph and thealtitude to 5 1 ft. • l'he height's not too trickyonce you've sussed how to operate the spot-lights. There's one on each end o f theI .ancaster and their reflections on the wateroverlap when the bomber is flying at thecorrect altitude.

You'll also have to practise the correctpoint a t which to shout those immorta lwords 'Bombs Away'. Only when the damfits exactly between th e f ron t gunner'ssights, can you be sure o f destroying thetarget.

So, now you're ready for the flight fromSeampton A irfi e ld and over the EnglishChannel, Feeling pretty confident about itthen? Well; you'd better, 'cos this is wherethings start to hot up. The enemy is justacross the water.

Each Lancaster has a crew of seven menbut it's your job to direct them all. You canreach them by pressing a key from 0 to LI,plus there's an extra status screen to let youknow how well you're doing. If something'sup on one of these screens, the appropriateletter will flash at the bottom of the screen.Move qu ickly o r yo u cou ld fi n d yo u rmission terminates abruptly — in death.

If you avoid the military and industrialcentres, you should have a safe flight withonly the horizon lights and a few stray spotspassing under the plane. A s soon as youTOSS into the airspace above an area of mili-

tary importance, be prepared. There you'llfind the barrage balloons; spotlights, flakand the deadly ME I 10s. You've got to be

half asleep to have trouble with the balloons— they're big. they're bold and they blowup, no problem_ If your front gunner missesone, then the rear gunner should pick it off.Spotlights are pretty visible too — that's halfthe point of them. Just make sure you don'tfly directly over one or the ground gunnerswill have you for breakfast.

Anti that just leaves the Messersehmitts.They're fast and fatal and worst of all theydon't p lay fair. They're just as like ly toattack from the front as from behind. That'swhy you've got to scuttle from screen toscreen as the letters flash. They only losepoints in the realism stakes because theycan't shoot you down — and if you don'tshoot them they just wing their way backinto the clouds. Only if you miss a certainnumber do you lose out — one o f yourgunners ends up riddled with bullets, Alsothey don't really appear very keen to startclose combat serappinl

There's a real sense that you're on a nightmission over enemy territory and you mayvery well fail, Surprising then that my maincriticism is that the game isn't hard enough.The flight simulation just isn't accurate —there's no runway, no take-off and no needto get back once you've dropped you rbomb.

If you're ever going to make it to a trueDambuster then you'll have to destroy allthe dams as a Squadron Leader. Anti thatshould keep you fully occupied. The flack isto keep monitoring each screen, jumpingquickly to those that warn you of imminentdanger. You r run up to the dam must beprecise and controlled but with practice fly-ing a Lancaster will become second nature.

Good luck!

SPHIIELYAt YS we know your talents are

unlimited. Well, now you can prove it.All you have to do is conjure up a smallsprite. Easy, eh? And the creator of the

best one walks off with the prize ofFerguson Colour Monitor/TV. Now, that's

magic!How much of an artist are you? D'you reckon you canpaint with pixels like Picasso? Add colour to yourcreations like a latter-day Constable? Dabble with drawinglike Da Vinci? No? Well, you can relax 'cos you won't needany of these things. Al! we're asking you to do is designone measly sprite. And we only want it in one colour, aswell. Now could anything be simpler than that?

What d'you mean, yes? Only not entering would besimpler. But then you'd have to pass up this chance ofcarrying off a Ferguson MC01 TX 14- M o n i t o r C o l o u rTelevision plus the MA20 Spectrum RGB interface. Thinkof the extra colour resolution straight from your Speocy —and that's just as sought after by arcade aces as by artists.

And that's not all. Even if you miss out on the numberone slot then you're still in with a chance of nabbing oneof the three dedicated Cassette Recorders that Fergusonis offering as runner-up prizes.

So. what do you have to do? Weil, what we want Is foryou to create the most interesting and imaginative spriteusing only 24x16 pixels. A doddle. eh? Or should that bedoodle? And to make it even easier we've provided asimple sprite designer for you to type in so you can createdirectly onto the screen. As soon as you're satisfied withyour spectacular sprite, just transfer to the grid below bycarefully colouring in (one colour only, please) each of thesquares.

Now send off your masterpiece to the Ferguson SpriteComp°, Your Spectrum, 14 Rathbone Place, London W1PIDE.

For the attention of John Preston, CI(A)The department's suspicions have beenconfirmed. There is a Russian plot afoot toexplode a nuclear device somewhere inEngland and put the blame onto ourAmerican allies. If this is allowed tohappen. the resulting political upheavalwill be immense. Public pressure willundoubtedly force our withdrawal fromNATO and may lead to the establishment ofa totalitarian state in the UKNow that you've plugged the leak withinM15. you must use information gleanedfrom your previous investigations to findthe nuclear device that has been smuggledinto the country.

HYPER SPORTSKonami/E9.95Rick: Now, I always thought that Hypersportswas skiving off cross country with the lovelySharon to share a No. 6 but this classysporting simulation takes you throughswimming, skeet shooting. (C'mon. gel yourskeets on. Ed), vaulting, archery. triple jumpand weigh lifting. Not even Daley Thompsoncombines that little lot so you can classyoursell quite a little hexathlete (calm down,I said hex!) if you make it to the end. You'llbe just about ready for Seoul by then.

You start oft with the swimming that'sguaranteed to work you up into a quickfrenzy — all that joystick wagglin' and lirebutton breathin'. Sort of underwater Ors, ityou see what I mean. But while theswimming's all brawn the skeet's all reflex— the nice computer aims the gun tor you soyou only have to shoot. Only in the latersections do the old hand/eye co-ordinatesrequire any grey matter. The vaulting and thetriple jump are the hardest to master at theoutset. but here the graphics are especiallyeye-catching. Watch out as well, for the winkof success when you quality in the shootingand the rude noise when the vaulter comes acropper. My only gripe is that it's a bit of abore having to go back to the beginning ifyou fail to qualify at any of the rounds.

This is about the only way I'll do a triplejump in my bedroom !4/5Ross: What a sports simulation. The eventshave mostly done away with the key bashin',joystick thrashin' al previous games of thisilk. and I don't like to boast but I bet there'snot many of you on your thirdtime round already. Huh? 4/5Roger: All this exercise is doing me in... Itold the Ed, the old wrists'il pack in again buthe won't listen. I dunno he'll want me to startreviewing out DIbed soon. 4/5

KNOCKOUTAlligata/E6.95Roger: The boxing scenario seems fine in

theory but the packaging graphic isabout as dramatic as the game isn't.

The player takes on the role of theItalian Stallion and is required to slapSlugger Sam around, decking the poorold has-been three times, and thereforequalifying for a title fight with BaldBully. Score is accrued by successfullylanding whacks in the gob or knucklesin his guts and is lost by either receivingblows without blocking them or hittingthe opponent's guard. To be fair to thegame. it's a difficult technique to masterand I spent a lot of time as a victim ofsurprise circumstance — lying down foran unplanned rest in the ring.

QUACKSHOTSparklersit2.50Ross: It's a chcapie and a jolly good oneat that! But it doesn't have the mostoriginal idea for a game. In order to

aid for a misspent youth or life of idlenesspassed away with a pack of cards.Without explaining the rules and subtletechniques involved in poker, it can besaid that the Spectrum version is a goodsimulation with opponents' comments,threats and discernable tactics comingacross pretty much like the real thing.

If you want to learn the game or enjoyplaying it without actually getting takento the financial cleaners, then thisprogram is worth running, with somereservations, The on-screen commentsand w ise-cracks get swiftly repetitive evenif the hands you're dealt don't. But themost annoying feature when you reallyget stuck into the game is its unnecessary

Specey. Here's how. but it takes over ninehundred screens. You'll also get a hole-by-hole account of the course plus mapsand history lesson.

Load up and then choose your joystickoption. The Protek didn't seem to worktoo well for me but you can use theredefinable keyboard option to set this up.

If you take a look at the screen shotyou'll be able to see the game layout. Thetop half shows a section of the coursedrawn in isometric perspective with yourball slap bang in the middle. Below thisare seven windows giving you controlover the golfer and how well he goes toi t You can increase or decrease thestrength of your shots, adjust the anglethrough 360 degrees and choose the club

have been partially transformed into asick parrot with heart disease, by thewicked Kremin, is enough to put anybodyoff this game.

Basically, the feathered hero isrequired to flap through the usual multi-screen yawnorama, collecting sustainingobjects to maintain energy level, huntingthe reversal serum to turn you back fromoven-ready turkey into near-normalSpectrum owner. Once that first objectivehas been chirpily achieved, then fourpieces of 'nuclear fuel' must bc gatheredtogether in the Kremin reactor room andescape made before the big whoopsyoccurs. Useful wizards and boomerangscan be found on the way, along with theaforementioned birdseed or whatever.

disguise this fact, the programmers havecome up with a silly scenario that sets theaction in a toy factory where rampagingducks and other beasties are on the loose.And because the inspiration comes fromAncient times — well, when didTutenkhcirmm first come out? — the on-screen playing area looks more like adungeon than an industrial complex.

At any one time you'll find yourselflooking at about a quarter of the mazethat's made up of brick walls. As soon asthe chap you control reaches the edge,the screen does a fairly fast and flickerfree scroll. Rut then so it should he —everything else stops while this takesplace. In all there are sixteen such mazes.

So, what stands in the way of yoursuccess then? Well, there's a completecollection of cuddly toys that have turned

which is the very essence of smart poker,works Nrery well and theoretical winningscan be raked in with growing satisfaction.Unfortunately though it'simpossible to cheat... 111/5Rick: If you're a red-hot poker player andyou've won a wardrobe full of otherpeople's shirts and no-one will play you,this could be goodpractice. 315Ross: A card game.

THE GHOSTWRITERHave you made good your Escape From

adventure that appeared in last month'sVS? Either way you probably never

noticed the ghostly presence of the codethat created the adventures. Dougie

Bern, a shadow of his former self, revealsall -- or nearly all!

A N I L M E E KWell, intrepid adventurers, how does it feel to have spent awhole month cooped up at Castle Rathbone? Now you knowhow we all feel, eh? Are your fellow prisoners still to be foundlanguishing within these walls or have they made their breakfor freedom? Either way, your brain should be in a suitablypulped state by now to attempt the next assault on the dreadedCastle! OK. who screamed in terror at the mere thought ofcrossing the threshold again? You have nothing to f e a r.hahahahaha!

Now Castle Rathkine is ready to offer up its final secret, Forburied deep in its depths, there are not just one but two terrificprograms. Fiendish, eh? One you're already familiar (andfrustrated) with but you've probably not even noticed theother.

Yes folks, not only is Castle liathbone one of the mostdifficult adventures you've ever played, it's also an adventuregenerator in disguise. Gasps of amazement — cries of, wellnever — slapped thighs and blow me downs! It's true and nowI'll show you how you can write your own amazing adventuresusing this clever and clandestine program.

In fact, these lines contain all the location descriptionsand messages printed by the program. Before we go anyfurther, we'll have to decode these lines.

Take a look at lines 400 to 430 — this is the machine coderoutine that unscrambles the encrypted lines. It works byintercepting the Speccy's PRINT routine, decodes thestatement enclosed in quotes and then prints the correctmessage or location description on the screen.

Your first job is to delete the lines from 400 to 430 fromCastle Rathbone(making sure, of course, that you have a back-up copy of the program). Then type in the decoder programbelow and run it. You'll now have a copy of Castle Rathboneinwhich all the location descriptions and text messages are inEnglish. This will be your working copy of the program, so you

THE IDEAThe hardest part of writing any adventure comes right at thebeginning. But it can also be the bit where you can have most fun.Think of it — creating your very own worlds, planets, time-zones.This is the bit where your imagination will have to go intooverdrive. You'll need to rack your brains to come up with astory line and scenario. Let's face it, if you haven't got a goodidea, you're not going to end up a good adventure. But onceyou've come up with the world's most fantastic, never beforeimagined, mega mind-blowing adventure you can get on with thejob of coding it.

THE MAPYour first step is to draw a map of your brave new world. This'llhelp you when you come to creating the data and it'll give you avisual reminder of what you should be doing. When you'vedrawn the map, number each of the locations and stick to thosenumbers. Once you've decided on the number of locations, youmust change the value assigned to the variable LOCATE at line9010_

And remember, your map doesn't have to be fiat and dull. Setparts of the adventure on different levels, put in secret passagesso that rooms connect that normally wouldn't. Create a truelabyrinth!

PRIMARY LOCATIONDESCRIPTIONS

Now yc u have your map, you can start describing the locations.This is where your way with words will set the tone for the wholeadventure. Will it be dark and mysterious or everyday and funny?if you're short of ideas, think about your favourite periods ofhistory and try to write a scenario set in that time. Or how aboutbasing your adventure on your favourite book? If it's goodenough for The Hobbit

Also, try to make your descriptions as visual as possible.Remember you are the player's eyes — he sees only what you tellhim to see. But be careful that you don't include in these primarydescriptions anything that is likely to change on subsequent visits.If you want to put an object into the room that'll have to bepicked up, don't describe it here.

When you're ready to enter your descriptions, first delete lines3500 to 4090 from Castle Rathbone. Now you must enter yourprimary location descriptions at lines 3500, 3520, 3540 and so onfor locations 1,2,3 I f you're written very long locationdescriptions it's an idea to split the PRINT statements overseveral lines.

-SECONDARY LOCATIONDESCRIPTIONS

The next job is to write another location description. Forexample, if your first location reads, "You're on the bridge of anintergalactic starship. Facing you are banks upon banks ofinstruments and controls. The main ship's computer hums

should now delete the short program you've just typed in andsave a copy of the new readable version.

THE INNER WORKINGSIt'll help to think of the adventure as being split into three pans.The lines up to line 3000 contain the adventure controller and itdoes just that — completely controls what happens in the rest ofthe program. The lines from 3000 to 5000 contain the locationdescriptions and the text messages. Finally, the lines starting from9000 contain all the data used in the program.

When you come to creating your own adventure, you'll have todelete parts of Castle Rathbone but don't do anything yet — allwill be revealed_ In the meantime, though. you'll need CastleRathboneuo show you how to construct your own data. As soonas you understand how everything works, follow the course laiddown by Action Stations and you'll soon have your very ownadventure.

GHOSTWRITING A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

47

efficiently in the background etc...", you won't want to read all ofthat every time you enter the bridge. Once is enough! So, yoursecondary description should read "You are on the bridge of thestarship".

The location descriptions are printed by the lines 2450 and2455 and you can enter the secondary location descriptions atlines 3510, 3530, 3550 and so on for locations 1,2,3

LOCATION CONNECTIONSOnce you've entered all your location descriptions, the next stepis to join them all together. You do this by constructing the Datastatements that'll tell the program what commands take you towhich location. If you have a look at Castle Rathbone, you'll findthe location connections at lines 9300 to 9372. As you can seefrom line 9040, the size of the array that holds the data for theconnections is determined by the variable LOCATE into whichyou've put the number of locations.

Each conneeilon to another location is made up of a fourcharacter code. The first pair of characters is a code number ofthe location you'll end up in by going in the chosen direction.

So, if an entry reads "01050302042100". then:0105 means 'NORTH leads to location number 50302 means 'EAST' leads to location number 20421 means 'WEST' leads to location number 2100 significies the end of the data for that location.

To connect up the locations in your adventure, follow yourRATHBONE REVISITEDTo find out how to connect locations, type in the fol lowing shor tl isting into your copy of Castle Rathbone, then type GOTO 5000and press enter . You'l l then see how the connecti ons tor eachl ocati on are m ade there.

map and produce a data statement for each location similar to theones in Castle Rathbotte.

•OBJECTS AND TREASURES

We now come to the important list of objects and artefacts thatarc to appear in your adventure. First, decide what you want —gold doubloons. swords, half-eaten sarnies, an alien's toe-nail,you name it, you can include it. Now choose where it•s going tobe placed and you're reading to put them into your program. •

The Data statement for each object comprises of a descriptionof the object followed by a number. This nuntber corresponds tothe location where the object first appeared. If you don't want theobject to appear straight away, simply make the number equal O.When you want the object to make its appearance, then useaction codes.] or K in an action table. entry. If an object is beingcarried the number will be - I. The program changes thatautomatically when you pick up or drop an object.

It's very important that when you come to write the dictionaryof words that the program will recognise, you include a word orwords for each object. If you don't the player's going to have atricky time telling the program to pick it up! Also don't forget tocount up your objects and change the variable TNOBS at line9020.

MESSAGES AND RESPONSESAn ads ern ure, if it's good, has got to give you the impression thatit knows what you're up to all the time. That means it 'll oftenhave to respond to the actions and inputs of the player withsomething a trifle more intelligent than the normal "You can't dothat!" or "I don't understand". These responses will also take theform of hints and warnings to the player about what he or she'sdoing (or not doing).

Now, you'd have to be a pretty good planner to know all yourmessages from the beginning. But fortunately, it doesn't matteras you can add new responses as fresh ideas occur to you.

Hut what sort of messages do I put in? I hear you ask. To showyou how flexible it is, here's an example. Say the player has 'ALAMP' and *A BOX OF MATCHES'. Rather than respond to'LIG IIT LAMP' with just an OK, the message could read "Theroom is now brightly illuminated" or "Don't be a Wally. Youcan't light an electric lamp with matches". As always, you're incontrol and you decide what you want to happen.

When you're ready to add your messages, delete lines 3000-3305. Now write your messages and then enter them in theprogram at lines 3000, 3005, 3010 and so on. These linescorrespond to message numbers 1,2,3 a n d must go here asthey're called by the program at line 2605. Take a look at CastleRathbone lines 3000 to 3305 if you're not sure what sort ofmesssages you'll need.

FLAGS AND COUNTERS-1 he primary function of flags is to let the program keep track of

what's going on. They are held in the array E(). They record allthe important happenings. Perhaps you can think of them as on/off, true and false switches. For example, if you're in the attic inCastle Rathbone, the program has to know whether the skylightis open. So, there is an entry in the Status table that checks ifF(12) is set. If it is, then the program prints the message at line

48

3135. In the same way, there is another entry in the Status tablethat'll print the message 'There is a rope fixed to the battlements*when F(18) is set ON, that is to 1.

If you want to see how the Flags were used in Castle Rath hone.use the program that decodes the Action table from RathboneRevisited. You'll then see where the tests on the Flags occur.

Here's a full list of the Flags that were used in Castle Rathbone.It should help you to see how many Flags you'll need in youradventure. When you've decided how many you want, changethe DIM F(2 I) statement at line 9065.FC1)=1 M e a n s the current location is dark.F(2)f1 Un u s e dF(3)=1 T h e player has read thel-IFLPLINE message.F(11)-,:l U nu se d.

ftbTHE DICTIONARY

Ibis is where your program becomes word perfect. l'hedictionary must contain all the words that it recognises. You'll seeFrom the one in castle Rathhone(Lines 9400-9474) that itsdictionary is quite large but yours needn't he this big. In fact, thesmaller the vocabulary, the faster the program. (Is this whyTroubleshoolin* Pete talks sofas!? Ed). Just remember to keepthe direction commands identical to those in Castle Rathhone(North, South, East, West, Up, Down). As for the rest, well, youhave a whole language to choose from!

You'll notice that each of the words in the dictionary datastatements is preceded by a two digit number. This is the codeused by the rest of the program. If two words have the samemeaning, you should assign them the same code number andtreat them as one word. When the player enters something, theroutine at line 2000 searches through the dictionary until it findsa match for the word(s) entered. When a match is found, theprogram then tries to match the prefixed code to an entry in theAction table.

But before we look at that, don't forget to count up the totalnumber of words and then change the value assigned to thevariable WORDS at line 9015.

ACTION TABLEPrepare for action, Take a look at Castle Rathbone tines 9086-9199 and you' ll see a series of strange look ing Data statements.These are the action table entries. When the player types in acommand like 'TAKE ROPE', the program finds the code foreach word from the dictionary. It then searches for an entry in theaction table where the first four characters are the same as thetwo codes for the words input. When it finds the right entry, itcarries out the tests in the entry, such as 'is the rope here?' Youcouldn't take it, after all, if it wasn't in that location. If all the testsprove positive, the appropriate action is performed — 'get therope' and then 'print the message OK, YOU'VE GOT THEROPE'.

Now you can construct a series of actions for your ownadventure using the Test and Action tables. The sequence foreach entry is as follows: two codes for the input — the numbers atthe f ront of each word in the dic t ionary. This is followed by aseries of tests f rom the Test table. Then an asterix to signify theend of the tests. Then a series of actions (f rom the Ac t ion table).Finally. don't forget to put an asterix at the end of the entry aswell.

If you reckon you know all there is to knowabout Z80 machine code, prepare for a shock.As well as the documented instructions, there

are over a hundred that have been hiddenaway. David Jones uncovers them and adds themissing info. Now you really can have your chip

with everything!

A F A' F'B' C

9D' E 'H' L '

H I D D E NEXTRASInside every Spectrum lives achip — the Z80 created byZilog — and with it there arenearly seven hundred well-documented instructions forthe machine code programmerto play about with. Muchmore interesting though, arethe instructions that Zilog leftin the Z80 hut never botheredto document. Why? Becausethey couldn't be guaranteed towork in every chip. In all,there are 102 of them andyou'll find that they're beingused more and more in manycommercial games. You mayeven have hacked into onesuch program and just notbeen able to make any senseof it.

There arc two reasons forthis increasing popularity withprofessional programmers.Firstly, these instructions are avery neat way of fooling thehacker. As the only assembleron the market that can copewith any of these instructionsis Picturesque's, hackers canhave a rough time of it tryingto decipher what's going on ifthey're only armed with astandard assembler. Secondlyand even more important, isthat these instructions performoperations that can't be

carried out anywhere near aseasily using the standardinstruction set.

There has to he a catch,you're saying. And yes, thereis — sort of. As Zilog hasn'tprovided any official info, anew version of the Z80 minussome or all these extracommands can come out atany time. It may even beinside your Speccy!

BUG BYTES.1 he first tell of these hidden

instructions are the result of aZ80 'bug'. In the originalspecifications for the Z80,Zilog included SLA (Shift LeftArithmetic), SU, (Shift LeftLogical) SRA (Shift RightArithmetic) and SRI. (ShiftRight Logical). Unfortunately,the SLL instruction didn'twork, so rather than re-designthe Z80 or adroit that therewas a non-working instruction,Zilog simply pretended that itjust didn't exist. Sneaky. eh?The way that SLL fails towork is pretty simple but itcan be put to some use incertain circumstances. Itshould shift a byte left and setbit zero to O. In reality, it shiftsthe byte left and then sets bitzero to

BANK NOTESThe old and the new . The Inter nal s tr uctur e of the Z130per for m s a m etam or phosi s w i thout the aid of pr ops.

IXH I X LIYH I Y L

In the new structure of theZ80, the IX and IV r egister scan now be thought of as 8-bi t r egister s r ather than 16-bit.

51

In all there arc ten SLLinstructions since it canoperate on data supplied byvarious methods. It's doubtfulthat you'll find any earth-shattering uses for theseinstructions as the Z80'salready supplied with a prettycomprehensive set of 8-bitshifts and rotates. Still, youcan now include these 'bug'instructions in the SLS (ShiftLeft Set) mnemonic.

If you're into scribbling inthe margins of your technicalmanuals, turn to page 136 ofthe Spectrum BasicProgramming Manual Youcan now fi ll in the space fromcode 48 with the newmnemonic SLS eight times,followed by the appropriateregisters in the same order asthey appear for SLA. SRAand SRI.. That takes care ofeight out of the first ten, .1'heremaining two are the sameinstructions using datasupplied by the index registers.Now, using our newmnemonics, they areSI,S(IX-1-0) and SI .S(I Y-0),

Speccy speed-freaks aregoing to find the, next chunkof 92 instructions very usefulfor adding that extra zip totheir machine code. If youtake a look at the layout of the7.80's internal structure, you'llsee that the IX and IYregisters are split into four 8-

hit registers instead of thenormal two 16-bit registers.This split is the basis for theremaining instructions.

Now, the Z80 was designedin such a way that it includesall of the instructions availableon the 8080 processor plus itsown additional instructionsand extra registers. So,amongst the extra features arebit-handling. use of the IX andIY registers and a whole seriesof 'special' functions,including LDIR. To make useof these new features, theprocessor has some one-byte'flag instructions' that performthe following:

Hex Byte FunctionCB T e l l s the 160 to expect one

of the following instructionsin the next three bytes FILC•ARC. RL, SLA, SLS iseeabove), SAL. BIT, RFS orSET.

DO T e l l s the 180 to use the IXregister instead of the HLfor the next instruction.

ED T e l l s the 180 to expect aspecial instruction next.This way ,t has some quiteusetul block move andcompare instructions,

FO T e l t s the 180 to use the IVregister instead of HI. forthe next instruction.

You'll find the secret of thevast majority of these extrainstructions is tucked away inthe DI) and HD bytes. The IX

Remember the days when the wholefamilygatheredroundthejoannaintheparlour for a good ol' sing-song. What'dyou mean you haven't got a parlour or apiano? Well, we can't promise to coughup the cash to build you an extension butwe have the program that'll turn yourSpectrum into a musical instrument. Justthink of it, your very own indoor organ -and it's not just a pipe-dream!

This program takes all the grind out ofturning your Speccy into a home organ.Now you can listen to your musicalofferings as you're playing them (that'sthe real time bit) and then play themback just like on a VT-Tone organ. Youcan even save your tunes onto tape soyou can load them back and listen whenthe parlour finally does get built! So,hammer away on your keyboard - andget harmonising!Thi s shor t Basic l isting pr ints thekeyboar d onto the scr een and cal ls allthe m achi ne code r outines.

We're looking for the very bestprograms and we don't mind if they'rearcade or adventure games or utilities.Just so long as they show flair and arc fullof ideas. Take a look at Bounzai and seethe standard we're after b u t rememberyour program doesn't have to be inmachine code 'cos in the end it's ideasnot execution that counts. The onlyrestriction we've imposed is that yourprogram shouldn't be over K . So, what

if the best Now follow that!

about Bounzai you're asking. Well, OKwe've blown it and it wouldn't really befair to re-impose the limit, but remember— we have to fit your megaprogram intothe mag so use 5K as a guideline. Wearen't awarding prizes for length!

When all six programs have beenpublished, that's when we sit back, putour feet up (So, what's new? Ed) and letall the YS readers take over. You'll allhave the chance to vote for the programyou reckon tops the lot and theprogrammer most likely to make it. Allthe programs printed will be paid forhandsomely and the overall winner willbe offered the chance to talk to a numberof top software houses about tapping allthat talent.

And now for the most important newsof all — since Bounzai, there are only fiveplaces k it in Opportunity Knocks. If youdon't hurry this great opportunity willhave passed you by — so get cracking!

HACK-FREE

ZONEGamesplayers! Get back at thehackers. Enter the Zone!Prepare to meet three remarkable hackfree zoners. First up is Andy 'Tipster'McEvoy who's written in fromNottingham with enough hints'n'tips tofill a book, let alone a megaissue of VIC'.In all he's sent tips for sixteen games pluscomplete maps of cauldron and ArkAtac. Let's start with a few of his tricks forBeach Head — always ao through thehidden tunnel to up your points and thenyou'll only have to shoot down ten.planes. When you come to blowing upthe ships, you'll find that the aircraftearner at about 40 degrees and the littleboat on the right at about 20 degrees.Keep on blastin., A n d y — w e ' ll b e

coming back to you over the next fewmonths.

Now for Jim Creenwimd — he admitshe's not the first to finish Marion(Melbourne House reckons he's fifteenthin line) but he's certainly the first to sendus the complete solution. There's noroom for all those anagrams here hut it'sa wonder Jim's brain's not scrambledafter sorting them out. Well, don'tEmphysema and Metabasis look morelike anagrams than real words to you?When it comes to playing the game. Jim'sobviously pretty hot — his high score is40.225. To boost it this high herecommends the following tactic — if youknow the 1.01-1C w h e r e y o u r n e xt w or d

belongs, don't 'go for time warp or 'flyto planet' until your oxygen level is low'cos you can use the time to boost yourscore by blasting more aliens.

And now it's welcome back to PaulAllan who looks like becoming a HackFree regular. Last month it wasShadowfire, this month Dun Darach.He's cracked the game wide open butrather than give you the completesolution so soon, here are a few pointers.There are four picture galleries and eachof the pictures matches up with an object.In room one, you'll need an arrow, anadze, a hoe and a needle. You'll then bepresented with a broach that you shouldgive to Pita. In exchange, she'll tell youthat •Rats are not rain' — a him that youshould follow the rat when you see it. It'lltake you to a secret door where you'llfind the jailer.

But that's enough of the Blarney forthis month. if you've completed anygames that everyone said was impossible,you know who to tell — Nothing'sImpossible, Your Spectrum. 14 RathbonePlace, London W1P WE. And don'tforget to tell us how you did it!

JOKE ItThe world of espionage is a grey area. Shady men in shady

streets. Except for two spies that is — the famousblack'n'white ones from Beyond's latest game. Spy vs Spy.
