Is it the v1.1 or was there a newer version ? I checked the PDF documentation, but no mention of version at the start of the file

I can't say regarding the "official" versioning, but I can confirm that this is the most recent version of the codebase I have.

[PARABOLA]

With high temperatures coming, it's better than ever to play in the dark on GX4000 , thank to @Urusergi , of course :

PARABOLA from Firebird

Controls:
J1 d-pad = Move from tile to tile
J1B1 = Increase boost (automatic decrease after release)

Modifications for the GX4000 version:
    - New title screen based on the Spectrum version by iXien (displaying 6 colours in mode 1),
    - Wait for fire on title screen,
    - All game keys patched and text modified,
    - Pokes: Unlimited lives or invulnerability

Here is version 2 with some improved graphics thanks to @OneVision. Rejoice!
RUN"TURRICAN" to use the regular controls.
RUN"FIRE1" to use the Space Bar instead of the Return key.
RUN"FIRE2" to use a Joystick with 2 buttons. Press both buttons to launch a grenade.
RUN"FIRE3" if you're the lucky owner of a Joystick with 3 buttons!
Or RUN"CHEAT" to display a small menu allowing you to choose your controls, and turn on the Trainer mode optionally.
ULIFAC users will have to create a Turrican folder on their MicroSD card, and drop the Turrican Files in it.
M4 users should do the same, but it appears to be problematic. If you're a M4 owner and manage to run the game successfully, we are eager to share your knowledge!

Thanks! I am trying to split the files onto 2 disks
 and even though the full game works, I do no know which files should be present on disk in order to trigger the ending, I must say that, for now, I just cheated my way through all levels (pressing esc to load next level), so maybe this prevents the ending to trigger. Edit: I just tried cheating my way through the official release and get the same results so I will try beating the last level and see what I get. Edit 2: I managed to beat the last level normally and the ending does trigger properly. Again, thanks!

You have the answer right here: https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/PDS_development_system

Including the PDS picture you mentioned which is the one from yours truly...

Tried in my CPCP6128 with M4 and no problems at the moment!

Hi, all,

I'm looking for the pack containing all CPC RetroDev archives from 2013 to 2023.
This pack was available on the CPC RetroDev page before it disappeared, a trace of it can be found here, but the file containing the archive has not been saved by WebArchive.
Does anyone know where I can find this?
https://web.archive.org/web/20240720004135/http://cpcretrodev.byterealms.com/juegos/

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am sharing that file here.. Password: "from 2013 to 2023" no quotes. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Je_RvFg4792uvIhoLJTKXz6u1NNe4hkC/view?usp=drive_link
