Re: Composite to Scart - What am i doing wrong
You might be able to fit a composite connector to that monitor, it has markings for cvbs input, on a lot of those rebadged Philips (cm8833) monitors you can.

Technically amazing the sounds you can get out of the SID, listen to some of LMan's recent tunes!

Chuckie Egg 2 TAP
Chuckie Egg 2 tap file #ID: 959 loads but does not run instead it returns to basic when a key is pressed.
As the TZX is a standard loader I converted the A'n'F version to TAP and uploaded it here: ChuckieEgg2AnF.tap.zip

Re: The price of Atari Retro
Yes the Flashback 2 is better as it is 'real' hardware and can be modded to accept cartridges whereas this 2600 plus is running Linux/Stella emulator. Supposed to be made in the same factory that made TheC64,500 mini etc

Re: What type of game defines the Speccy?
The "three colour ish" look on the C64 comes from the fact that while the bitmap data on the C64 can be pretty much anywhere in RAM, the colour data is in a fixed location and it's a lot of work for the lethargic 6502 to move that much data in a frame.So games tended to cheat and keep all...

Re: Good enough to be an Ultimate game?
If you compare their core routines: sprites, screen, sound, keyboard, joystick you can see through the various games "evolution". A lot of their routines are always together, it actually makes it easier to understand their code, because you've see it all before in a previous game. Taking ...

Re: Pico based Spectrum ROM interface (photoessay)
Nice work dfzx!
I've seen this done on the c64 and was planning on doing something similar myself!

50.08 Hz for the 48K display, 50.02 Hz for the 128K and this can vary as the Spectrum warms up

The C64 actually had a higher resolution screen than the Spectrumvintage-mike wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 12:17 pm The C64 had sprites and the best sound, but a slightly dodgy colour palette and pixels the size of house bricks. The Spectrum had 'high' resolution, a faster processor, but less than impressive sound and some colour clash.
