Although the plain ST version of this looks like it will run on my machine I get this message:
If I double tap the INSTALL.PRG I see this screen:
I don't get it, because according to this I don't need one:
Does anyone know how to get this to run or have a key? (since I can't find anywhere to buy the software. I've even looked)

It's imperative that I take a sample of Barry Manilow and reverse, chop and pitch shift the audio to place it on top of less 'happy' chords. :lol:

P.S. I have lockdown fever and am slowly going insane.

Thought about walking outside with a toilet roll over each eye, looking through the cardboard centre... :cussing:

have you tried just typing in a load of 1's or something ?

I tried zeros. Trying 1's now.

Got an Installation Successful yet get blocked again when I relaunch the program.

Try deleting KEY.DAT and ZERO_X.CFG and starting again...

Still knocks it back.

If you are still looking, I THINK I have version 2.0 Pro installed on my TT drive somewhere, which IIRC isnt a demo version.

However, I think its a 030 only version, but you are more than welcome to have a copy. :D

That's so kind of you to offer. Unfortunately I tried this today from the Atari Music Network Archive and it bombed.

Really appreciate the gesture though. 8-)

I found this thread on atari-forum with the same problem:

"Hi,
For the record, I gave up on my MSTE with this, version, and got in touch with copson through the aforementioned site. He still sells Zero-X, I bought the 2.0 STe version (which really exists, btw) directly from him.
It works flawlessly on steem and on my machines."

And that was in 2020.. so perhaps you *can* buy it still...

Also note there are *2* uploads of the program in this thread, one in the first post and one a little further down which someone had luck with. I can download/re-upload them here if you don't have an AF account.

ZERO_XST.PRG 1..51 works very well on my Mega STE over a ET4000 Graphiccard at 2 Colors. Version 2.0 works well on my Atari TT also over a Graphiccard in 2 Colors. I can load AIFF Files export form iTunes ...
