Some Fan Games not Running

I tried downloading some old games from the site recently and some of them wouldn't run. I just got an error message. They were missing one of the application extensions Trz added to his games called zxtune.dll

The games I found that were affected were my "Snow Queen" and Trz's "Ring of Zaks"


It was easily fixed - I just found an old copy of zxtune.dll and added it to the folder. But maybe someone should have a look and see if they have the same problem?

OK, I'll look into it.
I would've thought the DLL file would already be there.
Is it just those two games?

Annoyingly, the site's control panel isn't working properly, so I can't update or upload anything at the moment.
The joys of server changing and admins with time constraints. :sad:

Yes, I think it's just those two. I've looked at all of Trz's games and none of the others use that extension.

I have compared the files I downloaded earlier with the files currently available, and indeed zxtune.dll is missing from the current files. In older files, this library is found.

Download:

Dizzy and The Ring of Zaks (RUS-ENG, v1.05, Cheated).zip

Dizzy vs The Snow Queen (RUS-ENG, v2.0, Cheated).zip
https://disk.yandex.com/d/R0Olv9XaubWWt

You will find the necessary library in these files.
