seems some people have trouble on some gfx cards seeing the ingame gfx - if this happens to you just edit the config.txt to say windowed =false.

Fantastic, outstanding, Zzap Gold Medal 99%. It''s every bit as good as the C64 original as promised. Well worth your valuable time and efforts you put into it, it's paid off :D

btw will it accepts gamepads? i haven't got around to reinstalling mine yet and probs won't until Sunday as i'm off to see The Verve at the Camden Roundhouse Theatre tonight (brag brag)

It does work on Vista (sort of) but seems to slow down at different speeds. :( Might look into it more later

The actual Wizball is kinda scary looking in this version though! :)

Well let me do a proper analysis of it before you do too much debugging!

A video clip might help? It seems to run at different speeds IIRC.
