I wish I was 48!!! Nice little discussion maybe we should start one with User Names and why they were chosen.......

No nothing planned or has been said yet, It takes about 1 or 2 years after the mini has been out...... worth looking over on https://thec64community.online Ive got the same name on that site. Also I`ve got Pimiga 2.0 on my Pi4,Its the same thing have a look over on you tube . https://www.youtube.com...

I`ve got one as I had THEC64 and THEVIC20 to add to my collection, I`ve put it in the loft now! better to wait for the Maxi version with a working keyboard or If you pick one up for £50 -£60.

Just came across a little thing with this amazing Emulator!

Hi, Craig here, the developer behind Beep's Escape. 👋 So as you've guessed, it's not a Speccy game yet. But it's been carefully designed to look and feel very much like a Speccy game, including the colour clash limitations, and it's inspired heavily by the Dizzy games that I loved playing when I wa...

I´ve never seen this colour combination before. Which esxDOS Version are you using and which interface? There´s was one thread "auto-LOAD colour in ESXDOS.CFG" at: http://board.esxdos.org/viewtopic.php?id=1032 but I don´t know if this can help here. Thats the initial boot screen colour bl...

As the Titles says is there a way to change the line colours when the SD card is being accessed, I`ve been looking with no look. I`ve had a look in .brwscfg and in the CAPS SHIFT H (help screen) no selection to change it. The Grey and Magenta is a bit boring. Sorry about the Picture being blurred. h...

Although I don't own an N-Go or Next, I'll ask the question of how are you connecting the N-Go to your screen - HDMI, VGA or some other way? The N-Go and Next experts will then give you some feedback, Also have a good read of every comment from this page https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewt...

Hi Everyone, Got an n-go last week and have been playing around with some zx 128k games and came across Old Tower from retro souls not playing the game as it should, its slow and the graphics are not correct, also Multidude.

silicone spray lube did the trick for me WD-40 Specialist® Silicone Lubricant safely lubricates, waterproofs and protects metal and non-metal surfaces such as rubber, plastic and vinyl. This formula dries fast and leaves a clear, non-staining film that doesn't stick or make a mess, so it won't attra...

Has anyone got this working on a VGA monitor, I see a header for EGA monitors, I`ve only got HDMI and VGA. Mine should be here for Friday the 2nd Sept. Cheers

I had a Vic20 before the 48k rubber speccy after that failed i had a toastrack but still played 48k games on it, my mates has a C64 but the games felt a bit blocky to me the zx had a better look even with the colour clash

Hi, I just got my speccy working like I would like to. I use Zxzero board with Pi Zero 2 W, but out of the box this board is not compatible with ZXBaremulator, keyboard wiring is different. So I rewired keyboard and also made sd-card available via external slot. I use Zelux keyboard with white leds...
