Hi, apologies for the beginners question but I'm getting back into rediscovering my past love of all things Spectrum.  I have a 'The Spectrum' and 'ZX Touch' - can you please advise which version(s) of the software to use for these devices it appears to work perfectly on The Spectrum but doesn't full load on the ZX Touch and 'hangs' before the menu screen loads.  I can't work out what I'm doing wrong....  Many thanks!

it could be that the ZX Touch has a non-standard ROM, I think there is way you can change that yourself, just as you need to on 'The Spectrum'.

Thank-you, I’ll have to do some research to work out next steps.  I appreciate the response, thanks 

the ZX Touch Manual explains how it's done under section 3.2.7

"To ensure full compatibility with games, it is recommended to use the original ROMs from the ZX Spectrum 48K and ZX Spectrum 128K computers. These ROM files should be placed in the "SD:\ROMs" directory on the SD card. The file names for the ROMs are predefined as follows: "48.rom" for a 48K computer, and "128-0.rom" and "128-1.rom" for a 128K computer."

Thank-you.  I really appreciate you taking the time to reply with so much detail
