This site contains the source code for just one variant of the Electron version of Elite:
- The variant from the Every Game Going archive
There is also the version from Ian Bell's site, which I hope to analyse soon. There is definitely one more variant out there that I haven't yet included on this site: Acornsoft SLG38 v1.0. This is the very first release of Electron Elite, which had a bug that stopped the galactic hyperdrive from working. It's possible that the version on Ian Bell's site is v1.0, as all the other versions on his site are the first variants, but I have yet to crack the copy protection to check. If this turns out to be a different variant to the Every Game Going archive, I will add it here.
To play Elite with an SSD disc image, load the disc image into drive 0 and press SHIFT-BREAK. To play Elite with a UEF tape image, load the image into the cassette player and enter CHAIN "ELITE".
The Every Game Going variant
----------------------------
The version in the Every Game Going archive is a cracked version of the original Acornsoft release. It has all the known bugs fixed and the copy protection is disabled.
