No.20185 Tafoid Administrator May 16, 2022, 22:30	confirmed with > mame specpls3 -flop1 goldnaxe The default loaded image (cassette) with goldnaxe seems to load to menu without any corruption.
No.20190 StHiryu Tester May 16, 2022, 23:29	The problem is with the disk images. All the cassettes work fine.
No.20194 ICEknight Tester May 17, 2022, 01:45	Found some hopefully useful info about the disk image from user "obo" at a ZX Spectrum Discord server: "Golden Axe has some regular 8K sectors with the deleted data address mark. Could be either the 8K sector handling (data padding needed) or deleted data address mark mismatch again."
