Spectrum Computing

Thanks for adding this and for the PM, I'll have a go at this when my 9 pin joystick port comes from flea Bay and also a silly question what pins do you use on the joystick port as there is 9?

I started a project i wanted to do as i had a zx spectrum after the Vic20 back in the day, the zx spectrum next was way to expensive so i started looking at the Raspberry Pie projects using this Emulator. The whole project cost me about £100.I did look to buy all brand new zx spectrum parts (£62) b...

You tuber Retro Shack has made a PCB board for the Raspberry PI 3 +A for ZXBaremulator to fit inside a zx spectrum case, looks very nice here is his link to the video

Thanks for your reply, I`ve got a zx rubber keyboard with Fuse with a PI Zero see here "https://thec64community.online/thread/893/fuse-on-zero-spectrum-case" which is good but my zx Spectrum +48 with a PI3 and zxbaremulator is a much better experience. Sad that there`s no more updates on ...

Zx81 is there any chance that this great emulator can boot into 128k mode first ,I`ve been looking at all the files with a HEX editor to find a way of looking into the files.. thanks again for a cracking emulator!!! I asked this allready, along with a few more things and you can see the final answe...

@ zx81 this is an awesome Emulator for the Pi !!!!! People moan about no save sate but was there a save sate on the real zx spectrum when you play a game NO, If you want a save sate if you are programming then use an pc emulator or the real thing.. Thanks again!!

Morning In addition to my joystick question above, I have run into another issue and would be grateful for some guidance with. I am in the process of wiring my old plus keyboard to the GPIO pins of a pi 2 (I fried my 3a+ yesterday due to some lousy soldering...). Anyway, I have got it working but w...

Finally finished and all working!! thanks for the replies guys and girls

I`ve sorted the TAB issue so now I can create a new snap image, when I`ve got so far in a game I can save!! I change the some lines in the zxscanner.py script see below, so when I trigger the button to set to a keyboard T now means TAB on the speccy keyboard! and when i press the button it reverts ...

It looks interesting, especially this option to connect the original keyboard via GPIO connector. With some improvements in the startup sequence, the boot time could be lowered a lot, it would also be worth trying Pi 3A+, which is much faster. As far as I can see, the same mrpjevans python script i...

The pi zero image i used is here "h**ps://ianwilliamhill.co.uk/sinclairian/index.php" hope that helps
Also the shinny metal block in the middle is to give the speccy some weight as it was a bit light.

Thanks for the reply, I've got a switch so I can use f1 to bring up the fuse menu , I'll look into that, the boot time is about 30 seconds I'm using sinclairlan image.

Got the Pi zero booting straight into Fuse and the keyboard working,The whole project cost me about £100.I got all brand new zx spectrum parts (£62) i also added micro sd extention cable and usb cables, Games work great and im using a usb joypad, but i cannot save a new snapshot as there`s no TAB op...

The whole project cost me about £100.I did look to buy all brand new zx spectrum parts (£62) but i did`nt want the rubber keyboard so used ebay for a zx spectrum plus keyboard (£60) which i think looks better i also added micro sd extention cable and usb cables, the keyboard works as well. So here`s...

I also have made a zx spectrum plus using this emulator, it gives the best feel for an original zx spectrum i love it

Sinclair zx spectrum 48k + computer faulty not working, Boxed with power lead, tape leads but no tv lead also the reset switch and cable missing. The zx spectrum case has got an engraving on the top see picture also the spring legs are 3d printed.£60 including postage.Uk mainland only sorry. https:/...
