Scramble RX - Release version
A downloadable game
Here is the 'release' version of Scramble RX that was sent to my Patreon supporters last week. It contains all the levels from the arcade along with a few extra bells and whistles. I hope you enjoy it.
Purchasing the game helps to free up more time for me to code more games like this. Alternatively, you can support me on patreon and get access to all my work.

A demo version containing the first two levels is also available to download for free.
An updated version with a standard loader for use with divmmc devices is also included.
If you are playing this game on 'The Spectrum' emulation console, please be sure to update it to use the original ROMs.
Another update - I have now also included the 'challenge' edition - no continues, only one extra man, this is for those that enjoy a high score challenge.

There is a better with the challenge version, the problem still persists, of pixelization on the image at certain times.
The wallpaper is blue instead of black and the mountains instead of yellow are blue too.
Thank you for all your efforts to make it functional on the spectrum.

Roust and Asteroids RX are both available to purchase here on itch. KFM is not my game, and DK is only a free demo. Everything is available here:

whys it in dollars?
it's hosted in the US but you can just pay via paypal or whatever. I might put an arcade pack up on the Midnight Brew site though.
Hi, I've downloaded scramblerxMBa.tap from you patreon post in November. Do I need the scramblerxMBfix.tap as well?
I think I share it on Patreon but I'll check. If the version you have works for you, then no, there are no gameplay updates, just a patch to fix it for DivMMC devices.
The game uses raster timings for blanking sprites, if you run it on anything other than a 3.5mhz processor, it won't display correctly.
but the video shows it running on sim coupe at 2.4 times full 6mhz with external 1mb ram in snaper emulator from velesoft website
wanna buy roust asteroids donkey kong and kung fu master but I'm not paying patreon or in dollars
roust too at 2.4 times speccy speed!
is there any way to get you money for donkey kong full version without giving it to patreon the irish have enough money from microsoft facebook google and apple who don't pay corporation tax despite owing billions also i don't use dollars!
perhaps check if ULAplus mode is running? are you sure you have installed original Spectrum roms and not the default ones? Unfortunately 'The Spectrum' is a closed emulation system with a slightly different ROM that is not guaranteed to work with all games. I don't have the hardware to test for this problem, but I know that it works fine on all the other emulators.
I installed the original roms, I disabled Ulaplus, but the problem is still there.
On recalbox it works well but I would have liked to have this game on this new machine.
Maybe a new update of retrogames ltd will fix this issue.
For the record I don’t have this problem with other games.
I'll see what I can do to find out what the issue is.
Ok thank's
For information, the game starts correctly and it is during the game that this happens, as attached on the photos.
think i've managed to upload a video of scramble rx running at 2.4 times speccy speed on the sam coupe running in sim coupe with snaper disks velesoft website
think this runs at 2.4 times speccy speed in sim coupe sam coupe emulator with snaper disks velesoft website and 1mb ram what do you think?
No change with the latest update.
Ok I’m waiting for the update, it would be nice if it could work properly on the spectrum.
Thank you
The game is unplayable, the black wallpaper changes to blue with black squares.
I installed the latest update of the game but it does not change anything.
I play with the spectrum of retrogame ltd.
I will try to do an update, but please make sure you are using original ROMs, this game is designed to run on original hardware.
trying to run scramble rx for the zx spectrum using the snaper emulator in sim coupe but it goes berzerk it should run at nearly 2.4 times the spectrum speed but the clock is saying 5000%! help cant get in touch with simon owen of sim coupe fame as he's not speaking to me!
The game uses the interrupt and t-state calculations to time the game. Therefore it will always update at 50hz. If you use a faster processor this will disrupt the timings and display incorrectly.
no she displays correctly see

I purchased the full version and am seeing some graphics glitches playing it on my ZX Spectrum Next in the early space levels which when they turn blue, there are some black square box artifacts that pop up. Please advise.
I'll be sending an updated version to everyone soon. For now, on the Next, this glitch will be fixed if you switch off ULAplus.
Thanks for the next update, Until now I tested successfully the game on a real ZX Spectrum 48K with DivMMC Future, on the new TheSpectrum by Retrogames Ltd and on fpga systems like MiST and SiDi128.
I will be happy to test the updated version on my ZX Next KS1.
A great version for the ZX Spectrum. I included the game in my new "Gameplay of New ZX Spectrum Games from November 2024" video, along with other recently released ZX Spectrum games.
Fantastic recreation of classic Konami coin-op. Congratulations!
