I paid £15 a couple of years back.

A couple of years back you could get a CPC for a quarter of its current price.

is that a fair price?

Impossible to say. There's simply no stable market for Amstrad CPC software and it's not clear what is rare - and what each title is worth.

Hi all, ive just picked up a tape of Donkey kong from ebay for around £40 inc postage, i haven't tested yet but know its fairly rare and was wondering how much it normally goes for, is that a fair price?

You were robbed! Sorry.
I paid £15 a couple of years back. Still works perfectly.

The £40 price would be more for the disc version and that's difficult to find.

it depends on the edition, but it's not rare at all. I think a fair price is from 5 - 10 euro for a ERBE/Ocean edition to 10 - 15 euro for a Nintendo/Ocean edition.

Technical support - Hardware related / MEDL Tracking Ball - very slow

Last post by FruityFrank - Yesterday at 16:41

Hello,
I got a MEDL trackball here. And while it works in general, its very slow. I cleaned it up but dirt wasn't the issue. 
Even when I directly turn the optical encoders, its very slow sending the keys. It 'feels' like the electronics cannot keep up with pulses from the sensor. 
Is this a known problem or is there a way to fix it? I played around with the adjustment pods but couldnt improve it.

Hello,

Try to use the expanded version (with all the files) and not the .dsk file.

I remember I had loading issues with the .dsk file but it worked when I switched to the expanded version.

Best,

Takis

You are a superstar!!  Works perfectly first try.

Very nice, it would be awesome to see the running animation side by side with the original for comparison.
