Re: General Error

Yes, @+3code, this happens with too many people accessing the site.

The site uses 'shared hosting' to keep the costs down, so resources are limited.

Re: Archive idea: same-page links to each section

We can see if there is much interest in this idea @equinox, then I can chat with @4thRock (who did much of the design for us) to see if it's possible.

Currently you have to type at least 3 letters to allow it to search titles. I've moved this to a new thread so it doesn't dilute equinox 's query. Agreed about random search. It's currently broken, and we don't have anyone who can fix it (any volunteers?). Just to let you know that if you pick from...

Fuse does not support ULA+. There is a list of emulators that support this if you follow the link in my footer.

Re: Learning C games dev for the ZXN

@PeterJ Thanks for reminding me about CSpect, but I did say almost no other emulators. I wasn't trying to be pedantic, just trying to help as it's the defacto Next emulator. You can also get CSpect to run on Linux with Mono (see one of my earlier posts). This was some time back though so things may...

CSpect is the best Next emulator. It takes a while to get into (take a look at some of the emulator threads), but it's worth the effort.

I believe the OP has chosen his first game.

Sharing of copyrighted material

Can I remind users that they must not offer to share titles which are still for sale or are denied with other users. This includes via PM.

I had to deal with a complaint this evening and I don't have the time for such things. It also makes the forum look bad. Offenders may be immediately banned.

Re: CPad C Interpreter for Windows

Hi @yossik32,

Can I ask how this is actually related to the Spectrum or retro computing in general (apart from the 'tribute'?). From the website I understand it does not create Spectrum specific code (similar to Z88DK)?
