ZXbox games

I can't find any that work. The worldofspectrum ones just don't load they take so long, so can someone provide a link to some that you know work - I'd particularly like to play Elite.

Just out of curiousity, assuming you find Elite, and it even loads, how on EARTH are you going to play it on such a tiny screen?

Even if there were enough buttons for all the controls, which I doubt, the pricing screens would be unreadable....

As it was said already in this forum you should convert the tape images into snapshots using some emulator on a PC. One of the good emulators is RealSpectrum for example.

If you search around you can find archives with snapshots too.  I've got a few on my machine.

And... ZXbox lets you save snapshots too. You would only have to stand the long loading one time, then you could already save a snapshot and use it afterwards.
