Re: ZX-TSID help
https://youtu.be/GEz9XxkwgLM?si=lbGicF13SpBXn9Jy Nice one Glen, I enjoyed the video. The SID player is (as far as I understand) actually a partial 6502 emulator, (so it really benefits from running on a faster Z80 but quite a few tunes work at 3.5MHz) but that means it’s compatible with normal SID f...

Re: Radio Študent – Spectrum Game FM Broadcast
Thanks, yeah there was also an article in Ars Technica about it that gives a bit more context to the game itself. There is some further interesting information in the comments about language and history too.

Re: Psychedelia in "line mode"?
The text column continues below the screenshot, it should read Load Psychedelia with LOAD "" CODE The "line mode" refers to one of the features of the program itself (press the L key to toggle Line Mode on and off). It's seems to crash on +2A (at least in my emulator) though, eve...

Re: Blasphemy! Your favourite C64 SID chiptunes...
This week I've been mostly playing with HardSID on eLeMeNt ZX (hopefully allaying any fears that this topic isn't sufficiently Spectrum-related!) It works by driving the eLeMeNt's FPGA SID implementation. (It has a conventional/discrete Z80 but some tunes need it clocked at 7 or 14MHz). https://zxfi...

Re: UniDOS on the +D (Plus D) disk system
when MGT had become (or been purchased by?) Datel I believe they sold the PlusD to concentrate on launching SAM Coupé (and raise a bit of cash, and get away from support, repairs etc. to focus on the new machine). Before the +D there was the Disciple (disk... I pull?? GET IT?? god knows) -- which w...

Re: HELP WANTED: Magazine type-in page numbers!
I've added a few more, this time from TILT magazine.
I noticed from the recent changes list that @sn3j has already done a couple, so I've only updated the others.

I've made a start with the entries from ORDI-5 magazine. I'll carry on with the others on the list from that publication.
Edit — I've finished these ones.

Re: The Horace Collection | Kickstarter
The campaign has ended (congratulations on your successful funding Pixel Jockey ). I see the items can be separately pre-ordered from the Pixel Jockey shop , so if you fancy a wee set of pinbadges that's now a standalone option (£11.99) https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e01dbf_7ba0d803cbe84c6da939d...

Have not used GetIt recently, but in the past I was able to recover WiFi using .uart and sending AT+RESTORE command. Which is the "factory reset" and you will have to set up the connection again. Thanks jamesh I've already tried that. (I think it might have been your post on the Next foru...

Aha, it’s revealed in SAM Revival #22.

GetIt 1.3 [not working]
I've run into a problem with GetIt (a few other users have mentioned same in the comments); it seems to hang after the splash screen with the message "checking wifi…". ZXDB-DL is similarly affected, but otherwise WiFi (using .http and .sync for example) is working. Has anyone else experien...

Thanks @Tosk, I had a great time. I’m glad you shared some pictures because I was so busy blethering and listening to stories I forgot to take any snaps of my own! I’ll certainly try to make it along again in the future.
Re: STM32 Bot
Not totally sure but iirc was a post askink if the Spectrum community could be interested in a demake of a game called "Mechathroids" or something similar. I think the game mentioned was Mechanarium . It’s a lovely indie adventure game. Well known for its hand-drawn graphics, so it doesn’...

I use a Greaseweazel with a desktop Intel iMac and a reclaimed PC 3.5" floppy drive. (There are some other tips in the linked thread too). It works by creating a “flux” level image of the disk so it can cope with any arbitrary disk format. (I normally use the SCP image container). samdisk can c...
