Thanks but that's the Spectrum plus overlay.
at this point I'm not even sure if there was an overlay for the normal 48k Speccy but why they'd leave it out, not sure.

Hi, Can anyone remember if Gunship came with two keyboard overlays? I ask because I bought a copy of the game from ebay and it's really in good condition but lacking the overlay. I did manage to find the Spectrum overlay for Gunship but it was for the Spectrum Plus. Was there an original Spectrum 48...

So very upset about this, I've never met the man but him, the ZX81 and ZX Spectrum are such an important part of my life, it's like losing a close family member. Absolutely gutted.

I'm using a 64gb card. I know it's way too big but it's a spare one I had lying around.

I tried again last night and formatting it Fat32 worked! So thanks a lot for that.

The card I'm using with mine is formatted as FAT32.

I thought I had but I will do it again just to be 100% sure.

Hi folks, I've been trying to make a backup of the memory card that came with the DivMMC Future for 3-4 days now and I still can't do it. I would just like to have a backup card in case one day it has a problem or is corrupt but I just can' get any other card working in it! I've tried formatting a n...

Did that in the 80's

Thank you.

Hello everyone, first apologies to the mods if this is posted in the wrong place, I think it's okay here but we'll see. Now, I'm coding a platform game (not on the Spectrum) and I'm wondering if it's 'okay' to use Miner Willy as my player character? The game will not be sold (cannot sell games with ...

Thank you very much!

Hi, I have a problem when trying to play Jetpac, the game loads fine (divmmc future) and shows the start menu but when I actually start the game, I get a white screen with a few coloured blocks but can hear the game sound in the background! I've tried different versions of the rom but the same thing...

Can't find a delete button, you can ignore this now, I pulled it and put a +2 rom in.

I've just completed my Harlequin kit and I've installed the debug rom that comes with it, but when I turn on, instead of getting some debug/test options. It loads the game Space Raiders by Psion (which works fine, but not what I wanted)

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Hmm that's a problem then. Seems my speccy will have to be tossed in the trash ..or.. given to someone as spares then as the only issue with it is a failed keyboard.

Thanks for the help!

I've been trawling the net all day but cannot find anywhere that sell a Spectrum +2 keyboard membrane.

Anyone know a good place to buy spares or somewhere that stock them?
Thanks

one question. if I get a scart connector working on the Spectrum, would a scart to hdmi converter mean it would then work on a PC monitor? The SCART to HDMI converter that I have actually converts the RGB signals to HDMI. This when used with either a Sinclair QL or an Acorn BBC Micro computer. Both...

There were a limited number for sale on the webshop when the kickstarted ended, but there won’t be any more from this manufacturing run. You best chance chance is to pick up one on eBay after the Kickstarter units ship out, as a bunch of people no longer want them, bought two, or bought them to sel...

I don't know for sure but this configuration: Spectrum RCA Composite Video to SCART Composite Video to hdmi converter to HDMI, will still depend on the spectrum composite signal that is not 100% correct. Here is an example how difficult it can be: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.ph...

Bought a Spectrum off ebay but then realised I cannot easily connect it to my HDMI monitors, so the seller kindly refunded me.

I'm now looking at a Spectrum next, I see on their site its out of stock, any clues when they will have more or was it a one batch only and its gone?

I'm way from being an expert on the hardware aspects, but the 48K rubber key Spectrum I purchased with the composite mod had a standard aerial lead with a SCART connector at the end and it works with modern TVs on the AV setting. You can get the cables on eBay for a couple of pounds. Thanks, I'll g...

I've been searching online constantly for an answer to "will a composite to vga adaptor work" and I just cannot find an answer apart from "it should" and "I don't think it will" which are not very helpful. That’s because the 48K Spectrum doesn’t output a 100-percent ko...

I have no idea what that is?

is there anything (reasonable price) that I can buy to be able to use my new Speccy? An old CRT TV for the nominal price of “come pick it up or it’ll end up in a dumpster”? Worked for me. ;) Thanks but I really don't have space for one, even a small one. I've been searching online constantly for an...

Hello, I need advice. I just bought a ZX Spectrum+ on ebay, it has been recapped and has had the composite video mod. However, like a total fool I just realised I no longer own a CRT TV or TV with composite input. Arrrgh!! So, I wonder can I connect the Speccy to an old monitor via VGA? I have seen ...
