SID Synthesizer Update
Sunday, 24th July 2005
Jet Set Willy and Tetris have been updated to run on Windows XP.

The updated versions can be downloaded from the Older Games section.

SID Synthesizer Issue
Sunday, 24th July 2005
It has come to my attention that some of the games using my SID synthesizer in the Older Games section may not work correctly on Windows XP. The affected games are the Win32 versions and include Jet Set Willy and Tetris.
These games use the old version of the SID synthesizer. They work OK on Windows 98.

I will endeavour to get these games updated with the new version of the SID synthesizer as soon as possible.

The DOS version of Manic Miner may also have music sync issues on fast processors.

All the games in the Older Games section will eventually be rewritten for my GFI engine that will solve all existing issues.

GFI Beta Update
Friday, 15th July 2005
Its finally time for another GFI update! The core engine has had a major bug-hunt to find and fix a couple of issues that made the engine crash on Windows XP. Damn sneaky ones as well since it ran OK on 98 & 2000

Coding has also restarted on the 3 games that are nearest to completion. These are:
Space Invaders
Asteroids
Asteroids Deluxe

No release date yet as work and life ;-) always get in the way but coding is now back up to at least a few hours a week from a few hours a month....
