Spectrum Computing

That's 60 Hz. Try hdmi_mode=17 to get 50 Hz

I remember that game! probably the only pinball videogame I've ever played too.

By the way, I've just learnt that a Subbuteo game was released for the Spectrum.

Retroarch has a Fuse version : http://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.7 ... tion/vita/

This thread may help : https://www.elotrolado.net/viewtopic.php?p=1745627900

All that said I don't own a ps vita

Subbuteo?? Naaah..too britny classy. I would prefer dirty bottle caps and DRAW lightnings aka ellipSical physics

No, it must be Billar Americano (Artic's Snooker) though I'd like to think it was Bug-Byte's Pool.
Do you know some futbol-chapas game?

Precisely I planned the other day to look for a pool game that I liked to play back in the days. I recall the player could move the cue tip around. Another good game seems to be Video Pool 1984. It has crossed my mind to mimick a pool-like football game in Basic, if Juan knows what I mean

Have you been using a different psu lately other than the official one from Raspberry?

Add this to cdmline.txt :
usbpowerdelay=100

cmdline.txt should be an all one single line using Spaces as separators.
Also cmdline.txt doesn't like empty lines.

The fuse team don’t make the libretro plugin for Fuse, I do know that the person that does was investigating upgrading it to a newer version and I think it could be expanded to support lots more of these features (snapshot states are absolutely possible as far as I can see). Thanks for considering ...

@PeterJ USP has an addon for Chrome browser that may be useful to support playing online. I'm going to check that! Yes, I didn't know about this either because my old PCs don't support Chrome. NaCl means native client. C/Cplus emulators running natively on the Browser? :shock: this could be useful ...

Micro-Gen's Panic https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=4454
I think this is wrong : Also known as Space Panic
It should be : Also known as Sheer Panic

From the netplay-faq on Libretro's site Which cores work for netplay? * On a technical level, every core that supports save states should work but the performance requirements may be too high for it to work in any practical level. Save states.. Is not RZX and rollback what this is about? Maybe [ment...

..the FUSE core for Retroarch is not Netplay capable. I might be wrong, though. There could be some way to install other emulators? something to ask the Retroarch developers. The Pi version seems to support FBZX and two Fuse core versions : https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/ZX-Spectrum

[mention]druellan[/mention] Another option could be Retroarch's Netplay.
Simply Austin made a nice Retropie image for Spectrum games.
According to this video review, netplay performs much better on the PC than the Pi

You are welcome.
Broadband is more usual nowadays. I hope you can organise online matches on this forum

Cool! This snakey multicolour technique reminds me of 53c graphics : viewtopic.php?f=5&t=599&p=8485#p8485
Have you tried the game with a CRT TV to see if fake colours look like real ?

I have to resort to a kitchen timer when two little boys start fighting to play a game
A two player mode could be just allowing different keys for evey player and placing a countdown timer to perform the switch. The automatic switch would force the players to discuss every move lol

I only suggested simultaneous control because you seemed to prefer a lot of tight action type problems. It's not as easy as you might expect to control two characters, but it'd be fun to play the game again as a 2-player co-op. If this level was a little more generous in its 'safe spaces' then I wo...
