It's not a SID player. It plays "PT3 Like SID".

They also have their own forum where you can ask questions - https://www.specnext.com/forum/

This is an unofficial github, just for history. The author has deleted his github, unfortunately.

There is a newer version on zxart than on the github (I even forgot that I uploaded it there).
But, unfortunately, I can't help further - I tested all versions myself only in emulators.

If you are talking about this ZX-TSID, it has SID accessible via #xxCF port. This requires NSID Pro version, with HARDSID support on the same port.

Are you using this version of NSID?

Any way to change the default YM to AY so it persists across reboots? 0x06 (06) => Peripheral 2 Setting (R/W) bit 7 = Enable F8 cpu speed hotkey and F5/F6 expansion bus hotkeys (soft reset = 1) bit 6 = Divert BEEP only to internal speaker (hard reset = 0) bit 5 = Enable F3 50/60 Hz hotkey (soft res...

About the game: I did not get it, a contact passed me the disassembled loader as a reference.

Oh, I see. No problem - Robocop (the first one) on dsk is available on the Internet

Interesting idea with the virtual tape! Will definitely have to try your tool myself =)

p.s. from the readme on github:

disassembling the Robocop 3 disk loader (on which this work is loosely based)

Is there any chance to see this disk version of Robocop 3?

Hello, New releases of both 3DS and NDS versions of ZXDS are out. Hey, Patrik! Thanks for the emulator! I use it on New 3DS - very satisfied! With the latest games like Nothing, Castlevania, Delta's Shadow - it feels like you're not playing a game in an emulator, but something specially written for...

Thanks, I'll look into it. It'll give me an opportunity to get to see Pearl a little closer.

Is there any application for creating/modifying microdrive images - .mdr (Windows x86/x64)?
With ZX-Blockeditor and mdrview it is only possible to view ready images.

Version by goodboy & tiboh (with CPC & MSX Music/SFX) also have support for Kempston Mouse (and supported Kempston Joystick with 3 fire butttons)

If your DivMMC's version of esxDOS is up to date you should have Nihirash's dot-command called SCL2TRD, e.g. .scl2trd <filename>.scl If your esxDOS version is up to date - theres no need to use SCL2TRD: esxDOS v0.8.9 (c) 2005-2021 Papaya Dezign --------------------------- This version has the follo...

I tried playing R-Type, Zynaps, Chronos, Fliyng Shark with the DualShock 4 using the 8bitDo Retro Adapter.... Oh! The analog stick in these games is heaven and earth compared to a regular joystick and even more so to a keyboard.

Next challenge, after you'll beat game

Can I ask you for the program in an adapted form for specbas? The copypaste method did not work for me. Apart from the BRIGHT 1 error, which was clearly highlighted, there is something else preventing it from running.

About x10 times faster:


Spectrum Next "pure" Basic 28Mhz


Spectrum Next Tobos FP 28Mhz
