From memory, the fix never worked. At least, I never got it to work and I remember other peeps with the same problem. I always wondered how the original RGB demo got past quality control when it took up so much room on the disk ;) Anyway, maybe no-one has a working copy? :)

Whenever I try to run the one from the GoodSAMC library, it does nothing and

I just noticed the reference to "Where Time Stood Still"
Did anyone ever manage to convert it to SAM? I'm not bothered about Simcoupe,
but I'd love to see WTSS running on SAM from a floppy disk. It was one of the
few games that tried to exploit the capabilities of the old Spectrum 128. (Not
