Hello all, I have updated all programs for wifi module I have been working on. The biggest news is that now they all work with wifi module fitted inside eLeMeNt ZX also (previously they worked with MB03+ wifi module only). You can even have both wifi modules fitted in MB03+ and eLeMeNt ZX- all will ...

Dears,

I have made another video, this time showing eLeMeNt ZX core update directly from eLeMeNt ZX (meaning not from PC). I used SARAH client for update process at the same time. There is download speed record of 73 kb/sec in the video too.

Will gladly do,if you like

Generally, you are right, of course, about hating the ceaselessly repeating music. How about adding music mutting key into your mod? I am quite aware of this, so I added keypress 1 as toggle, which switches either FXs, or music, or mutes the chip completely. Nice feature for those playing a game for...

Because of superb music, of course.

Ok, please, release it asap:)).


128K version would be extremely handy, of course.

Hi Thealfest, very good you sped it up. I already saw some sped up version of Saboteur 2 from ex Soviet authors. But, the problem with sped up is that also time seems to be sped up. Would you want to make option to leave time flow original, while game mechanics is sped up? Well, think about it. If t...

.... the save error was due to long file name, when file name is shor, no save error. Thanks. Great system to me.

Oh dear, my SYMBOS dir contained subdir SYMBOS with all files in it. So, I moved all the subfiles and subfolder to the SYMBOS dir and all is ok.

... and when I was trying to save file in WOrdpad, it returned "Error while saving file" window. May this be a hint? Hood

Otherwise, the system looks simply great!!!!!!

Dear Prodatron,

I have all file on their place (hopefully), butwhen I click to main screen icons I receive a winfow error with message "File not found: The file or the path don't exist. Please check your input".

AM I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hood

Oh, keep working, please. SymbOS looks really just perfect.

Dears, speaking about Wifi in the last post from SamC, if you would like to set your Wifi module in your eLeMeNt ZX (like connect to AP, set RTC, run terminal...) use Wifi Setup 1.4 for eLeMeNt ZX. Download here: https://zxfiles.net/zxmb03.php#wifi . More info about Wifi Setup here: https://hood.spe...

Dear ZX friends, the time has come, and the SARAH project, i.e. its first part has come to an end. SARAH actually refers to two things. 1) it is an FTP client running on ZX Spectrum, 2) it is a sorted FTP server/archive of games and educational programs, of which you can find approx. 8,700 pcs. Plus...

Dears, the game "The Great Giana Sisters" exists on almost all major 8 bit computers excluding our beloved ZXS. Since there has been quite many old games restored, fixed, dug up from the past, could the same happen to "The Great Gianna Sisters"? ZX magazines mention beta versions...

Dear SARAH users, though being on holiday, thanks to Wixet there is a special FTP server made for SARAH, the ZX Spectrum FTP client. Host name is "sarah.speccy.cz", name: "sarah", pass: "zxftpc". The server is packed with ZX stuff, run SARAH and explore it by yourself a...

Dears,

and here is the release of SARAH 1.0, for BSDOS and ESXDOS. It is for MB03+ only.

Version for eLeMeNt ZX will be added later. Website for SARAH 1.0 will be created later too.

Hope you will like it.

Dears, some previews of the incoming release of SARAH 1.0.:












Hope to be able to release SARAH 1.0 soon.

Running a 3rd party monitor is complicated by the fact the browser's NMI handler copies various bits of memory into the MMC banks and overwrites normal RAM with the browser code which then overwrites more bits to use for it's stack and buffers. These get restored when you exit the browser. If you w...

It's on my list of things to do. I can access the register block supplied from the esxDOS NMI handler to show the state of the registers. This is the same format as the header for a .SNA snapshot file so contains all the registers you'd probably want to see. It may be possible to modify the content...

Dear Bob, your work is really perfect. Maybe the only thing I am missing is some debugger in your nmi menu. A debugger that would show registers, Interrupt mode and DI/EI state in th emoment the nmi button was pressed. This would help debugging programs on real HW a great deal. Years ago I applied i...

Dear ZX Spectrum fans of SID chip music. Recently, I added SID sound support to a second game, it is Master Of Magic. So now it's time for official release of the game. Originally, the ZX game contains only beeper sound effects. Here is a video. Enjoy it, if you have eLeMeNt ZX or MB03+. https://www...

Nice finding, I had been waiting for it for ages :) The game will run on a +2A/+3 on USR0 mode. Just enter USR0 at the +3 BASIC prompt, then LOAD "". I made two TAP files out of the TZXs which will load on a DivIDE/DivMMC without any other intervention from the user, since the device alre...

Seems great to me.


1) could you try to rework it for KMouse also?
2) could you try to rework it for standart ZX ROM, not 128 ROM only?


Many thanks

I think,at the moment adding WiFi module to eLeMeNt ZX is not planned. But this would rather be a question to its author. BSDOS could run on Element,but we would need new SD card driver (similar case as with Esxdos running on DivMmc). This would require writing new driver instead of IDE driver,that ...
