Re: Head Over Heels (Next)
I'm loving the extra rooms on the map, less so the changes to the graphics like the toasters when difficulty levels are set lower. As far as HoH games go I gotta say I prefer Tomaz Kac's remake over this one, but it's a close finish.

Re: New multi platform emulator - Speculator
It's looking promising, certainly. Getting a few errors in the test suites but if this is an early stage of development, it's going real well so far.
I do hope the author decides to join the speccy discord, the emulation chat in there is incredibly helpful.

Crash magazine 16bit special.
Hey you lot -
I recall Crash did a special in one of the issues where they look at 16bit games (Amiga mostly) and featured F/A-18 Interceptor and Ferrari Formula 1. I can't find it though; google is heavily polluted these days.
Anyone got any kind of clue here? Cheers

There was an intern working at Sinclair, kind of a work experience kind of deal, and Clive said to the guy "We need a name that gets us to the top in any list, you know like how Google chose a name that would appear at the start of an alphabetical list of websites" - but the poor sod didn'...

Re: New snap format that convenient for view/modify
I would like to ask why you're not using an emulator that has a decent debugger/memory viewer built in which lets you examine RAM and make changes and then you can save your stuff out as whatever snapshot format you want.

Re: Sinclair Basic compiler IDE ?
Yes, BASin was never finished and likely, as a compiler, will never be; I've moved on to pastures new I'm afraid - Spectrum BASIC on a PC is way more fun than it ever was on a Spectrum - but you should be able to compile with a native compiler. Don't expect amazing m/c performance though, you're sti...

Re: Zx Omni what is it? Is it any good?
Hi, Anybody found a way to update ESXDOS in ZX Omni ? Issue 4 is based on AT28C256 (compared to AT28C64 in standard divMMC), as I understand it contains two version of ESXDOS and two of UnoDOS. Unfortunately EEPROM is soldered, so any jumper configuration to enable flash ? You cannot flash the EEPR...

Re: ZX Spectrum +3 Manual as you've never seen it before
Section 19, the PLAY chapter, is missing a diagram and instead has an ascii representation of the stave etc. It's badly broken on a couple of lines.

Our emulation chat has probably the biggest set of tests for all models of Speccies on the net by now, and it's very active with emulator development chat.

Re: NEW THEME! for the Spectrum Computing Forums
Thanks guys, it's working. Feel a bit of a tit with the wrong theme selected though.
FWIW, I did a load of icons for WOS years ago (new post, active thread/forum etc) and if anyone can find them they're welcome to use them for the topic/forum lists.
