Re: street fighter trd files

In fact, it runs in the "TS-Mode" offered by the ZX Evolution. Honestly, it feels similar to Jim Bagley's "RAMS" core for the Next (in short, it's a full 64K RAM, 320x256 full screen, full colour mode that can run 8080 / Z80 based original arcade games), and I'd really like someo...

Re: Saboteur on the NEXT

I really don't understand those rants about "Next games looking like Amiga"... :roll: Graphics were the essential part that had to get improved from the original ZX Spectrum. The Timex models had improved graphic modes already, then the Pentagon, then the ATM... Every little improvement in...

Re: Fuse 1.5.3 released

Hello ! Keep in mind the .MGT uses an interlaced tracks pattern. Each 10 sectors, it swaps sides and the next 10 sectors actually contain the same track from the second side rather than the following track of the same side. In fact, floppy disks are written that way to minimize disk head moves and a...

Re: Next screenshot format

If I may add my two cents, there's a need for a small parsing routine to convert any 8 or 9 bits (or potentially more) bitmap picture to nxi. The nxi format can optionally contain the palette. So in the case of a 9 bits per pixel bitmap picture to be converted into nxi, the colour deph encoding doen...

Re: NedoOS multitasking operating system for ZX-Spectrum

Rather than trying to load complex web pages that will of course need too much RAM, I'd be interested in simply being able to mount LAN shared folders as drives (or even just channels). I think it's too optimistic to focus on the web, and also not especially interesting, apart from simple interactio...

Re: edge connector measures

Hi ! That's just a standard, widespread (at the time, at least) 1/10th of an inch Amphenol card end connector, but there's a little trick about the female version : If you're going to just solder it to a PCB edge laying flat, you can use any model, but if you're willing to provide a bus pass-through...

Re: Fuse 1.5.3 released

Fuse does work with the MGT+D emulation on the emulated 128K. I'm currently programming with this setup. The only detail I could complain about would be the necessity to mount the drives every time you launch Fuse (storing the drives setup along with the emulated machine setup would be nice), and th...

Re: Never expected to see this on eBay

Well, if it's really your cup of tea and you want it, then what's important to you ? Sir Clive's signature or the paper holding it ?

Because just click on the picture, save it, job done! :lol:
