It works fine in the Wine. The picture was taken in my desktop of the MX Linux XFCE

Thanx!!!

You also mentioned 3D Tanx, Gyroscope and Bug Eyes.... no visible on the webpage and no downloads

Above all, better graphics means improving the simple video system and addressing the huge memory requirements, all with an eye on digital-video connectivity. So far the only capable hardware I know is the HGFX of the eLeMeNt ZX platform , which allows to exceed 256 pixels in height and offers 512*3...

thanks to the authors also for the support of colourful hires resolution

Nice work! Many thanks! Now it is easier to inspect hidden routines, especially in loaders and de-packing routines. I also like sm 16384 6912 "screen$ :-) Please add zx128 (and more) Pentagon paging up to 512K, this will help to convert trdos software to the esxDOS. incl. commands to Save and L...

Many thanks!

Thank you very much for the continuously development and all the improvements!
When I add tools like the SERCP from PVYM and the (hex)EDITOR from NAMCO, it is a perfect system to do things without an emulator.

I recommend adding documentation to the distribution package.

New version 0.8: https://vym.cz/sercp/

speed: 115200 Bd
hardware: AY RS-232, SIF and MB03+ (USB) interfaces, eLeMeNt ZX (USB)

A new core with two new handy features: SafeNMI - protect against rewrite RAM during NMI SaveINT - doesn't lose an interrupt during DMA operation SafeNMI is an enhancement that will help both developers and regular users especially in NMI Menus and Memory Snappers. It protects memory and ensures err...

Thank you for the enhanced software! This is the first full-screen gs. game for the classic ZX Spectrum! Before that, the gigascreen was mostly used for large static images or for parts of a game screen: maps in Gyron and Nether Earth. Maybe some part in the Soldier of Fortune is also diplayed by us...

Christmas and New Year's greetings for all ZX and Speccy friends, especially for eLeMeNt ZX/MB users and supporters. Programmed by Lanex, for the eLeMeNt ZX computer with the HGFX (ZX-Planar & Chunky) video system. Music: Engrossing Moments (afterparty edit) by Cj Splinter. https://i.postimg.cc/...

Lanex has prepared another game converted to HGFX. This time he just removed attribute collisions and replaced some of sprite routines in the ZX screen. He simply redirected most sprites to ZX-Planar layers, also to get different colours for sprites. Apart from a hacking of a few routines, the game ...

Are there older implementations of the improved CP/M 2.2 for the ZX Spectrum and compatibles? Such as the Z-System, https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Z-System. Nihirash is working on a version for the ZX-Uno: https://github.com/nihirash/cpm-uno Also is being prepared ZCPR + ZSDOS for the eLeMeNt ZX. ...

I am sure that articles about Sinclair computers have been published since early on. There were two series of the magazine (red and blue series).
