do you have them now? could they be dumped?
Do not htink so will look in the loft
The spectacular looking game Iron Lord is only a French release on the CPC, i think ? There is an English version on the Speccy.Iron Lord Walkthrough, ZX Spectrum (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP-8ftVgAqc#)
Would it be a very difficult procedure to translate and Is the game as good as it looks and worth the effort?
Yeah, a very ambitious title. HEX-editing? Assuming the strings are the same on the two platforms, with a basic knowledge of French and some copying/pasting it could be done. Will have a look. Was it released on a disk image on the Speccy?
French CPC version

Spectrum Disk version.
it would need someone hacking some graphic parts because mosts text are graphics if i remember well.
Yeah, thought so myself, but this morning I found quite a bit of text just by fooling around. Spent most of my time trying to find a good hex'ing tool though :D
We'll have to live with the gfx text, depends on the amount ant significance of it...
