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.

Re: Some gigascreen game prototype: need input
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...

Re: HGFX - ZX Planar

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 ...

Re: DMA transfer
The DataGear board used a Soviet clone instead of the real Zilog chip, and this had some differences... This is a wrong. The DataGear works with both originals and clones, was tested with a wide range of various clones (and speeds), including the clone from East Germany (DDR, not a soviet clone!). ...

If I remember correctly (it was at least 10 years ago), in addition to a faster chip (from Toshiba), the content of the GAL is also modified (perhaps the same as for +3). But results were not so revolutionary and limited to a 64KB space only, the Z80-DMA took too much time to initialize each transfe...

Re: New FPGA Board from Antonio Villena
Maybe I misunderstand you, but I'm not sure know why else you would pay for a big FPGA if not to switch between lots of cores. If all I wanted to do was Spectrum stuff, I'd probably choose an N-Go or maybe a Sizif... N-Go is a SpecNext clone, right? It has a very small FPGA. The General Sound or th...
