Oh dear; I'm afraid your new .p file doesn't seem to load either. I've tried it in ZXSP, Clock Signal and SZ81, and in all cases it just locks them up. I'm afraid that none of the Mac-based emulators may be capable of actually saving software from an emulated ZX81. It may be necessary for you to use something like EightyOne for Windows, running it under a Windows virtual machine or WINE solution (such as CrossOver).

A few folk who have downloaded the new .p file have informed me that they got it working, such a pain, it must only work on certain emulators i guess. Unfortunately i only have a MAC.

There’s got to be more to it than that. I too have a Mac, and I’ve tried several ZX81 emulators in which this file doesn’t work. But a .p file is a .p file; it should work in everything, not just in some emulators and not others. I’ll look further into this if I get time later today.

i'm still trying LOL ...as i'd like to make more games for the ZX81.

Well done for getting there in the end! How did you do it, out of interest? I did try myself with your previous file in the EightyOne emulator, but it wouldn’t work in that either. Mind you, perhaps the file was faulty...
