Re: N-Go Board

I read this site about fundraising for a new spectrum+ keyboard remake.

That may be interesting for this ZX Spectrum Next clone.

Re: ZXBaremulator v3.0

65 $, just for the usb conversion kit !? Recereated keyboard is better solution then... Unless you want to use a ZX Spectrum+ keyboard converted or a Lo Profile or other third party Spectrum keyboard. But I agree, it's not cheap. On the other hand the recreated keyboard is not for sale anymore for ...

Re: ZXBaremulator v3.0

I understand that making a keyboard for this system is not interesting if almost no-one has one. But it seems not to be out of stock on his tindie store https://www.tindie.com/products/tynemouthsw/zx-spectrum-usb-keyboard-conversion-kit/ I put the conversion-kit in an old Lo>>Profile keyboard and th...

Re: ZXBaremulator v3.0

I have tested al keypresses of the Tynemouth USB keyboard converter, and typed them into a excel file (18Kb). I cannot upload them to this forum though. so I placed it here:

Re: ZXBaremulator v3.0

On two different monitors I don't get an image. One monitor just remains black, the other says "invalid signal".
So that's it for now for the testing.

With the normal kernel7 the Baremulator just boots fine.

Re: ZXBaremulator v3.0

Hi ZX81
Together with which files should I use this kernel? I can't get it to work. It only produces a black screen on my monitor.

Re: ZXBaremulator v3.0

Hi ZX81, I do understand that. It is just the case that this conversion kit converts the old Spectrum keyboard to an USB keyboard and makes outputs in 2 modes. The first one is an ordinairy ZX Spectrum. Other emulators interpret the keypresses right. And the secons one is a USB keyboard mode for us...

Re: ZXBaremulator v3.H(ikoki) beta

Disabling the overscan seemed to work only horizontally, but changing a zoom setting made the picture very good.

Thank you very much for your help.

It looks like this now:

Re: ZXBaremulator v3.H(ikoki) beta

hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=2

did the trick, after I made the monitor zoom in a bit. Thanks for the tip.

Re: ZXBaremulator v3.H(ikoki) beta

I have got another question. Is there a parameter I can use to tell the zx baremulator to use another aspectratio. On my 10 inch 4:3 monitor the image is to much a square instead of a 4:3 TV screen. While my normal 16:9 monitor gives a good image. Thanks Jeroen https://s18.postimg.cc/y6ykzvk9h/zxbar...

Hi there, is there a version that runs on 32 bit Intel architecture? I would like to make a ZX Spectrum of my old 32 bit intel based laptop. now I am running Batocera (sort of Retropie) on this machine and that is very nice, but making a spectrum would be very interesting. https://batocera-linux.xor...

Hi fellow ZX Spectrum users, I downloaded version v5.H(ikoki) beta and first it worked OK, but now after several days the Recreated ZX Spectrum keyboard doesn't work anymore in the ZXBaremulator. When I connect it together with a normal USB keyboard, I can only use that keyboard. The Recreated ZX Sp...
