Re: World of Spectrum....
Mark, I think you are making the mistake of assuming there are only two sides in the community: "friend" and "enemy". Nobody wants WoS to close down, but we have had to face the facts and realise that the only thing that can be saved is the content of WoS and (maybe) the spirit o...

Re: ZX Spectrum Next
I'm finding it hard to keep up-to-date with the current hardware specs. Initially it was going to run at 7 Mhz with "everything switched on", then it went up to 14 Mhz, which was really impressive. But now it's gone back to 7 Mhz again... Maybe they shouldn't have told anyone that it might...

Re: Introduce yourself!
Hello James... Think we had some chit-chat back about 10 years ago, when I did the native OS/2 version of x128 (NOT the recompiled X/Window version for OS/2) You probably don't know - but the OS/2 version actually ended up on a danish magazine cover cd ;) Hi, Thomas.

Re: Introduce yourself!
Hello!
I'm the former author of the X128 emulator and a few (failed) attempts at writing some Spectrum games.
I'm looking forward to the site going from strength to strength.
