That's one thing I have heard about AI, it can make the nicest clean-looking code, but the side-effect is that it doesn't actually work. So, as you say, it's only a starting point. AI tends to pick up bad habits that other authors have got into, so that might be where the static arrays come from.

I've never used AI, and some of them make horrendous mistakes, but Claude seems to have a better reputation than some of the others. The question is, does this new driver work?

You could change the page to simply redirect people to the new site.

Yep, made 2 posts. Need to find out if the disk full problem has been fixed.

Yeah the missing rom never surfaced.

Some sneak preview items for the next release: - Winui: added DRC option switch, needed because of some recent model2 regressions but the game works with the switch off - Adding sounds to various space invaders clones as has already been done in ARCADE64. So far added the vicdual games: sspaceat, sspaceat2, sspaceat3, sspaceatc, sspacaho, invcarht, carhntds, alphaho and alphahob. Also did Allied & Leisure's Ace. More coming. - Fixed the long-standing sound bug in schaser and clones.

We cannot help you with that, because N are very litigation-happy and might sue us. You'll have to look elsewhere.

That's been there for a few years. I was hoping for a more relevant release from the author, after all his big talk, but nothing happened.
