Please can someone take my turn? Many thanks!

Tetris?

This new theme excellent, but my old eyes can't cope with the brightness. If I was 20 years younger I'd be all over it like a rash.

Symbol shift and enter gives you the options menu. I guess reading the instructions that show up on first boot would have been useful after all

Got my N-Go set up in my original 48k+ case and it is amazing. I told Moley Christmas to load in 48K mode and with simulated loading. Now I realise I should have set it to 128K mode for the music and not turned on the simulated loading (once was enough!!) How do I change those settings in the Browse...

Received it yesterday

Bingo!

Time for a clue: this was released i 1987!

Zoomed in, the white block on bottom right is one pixel.

I appear to have broken the thread. Here, try this:

Correct. Thought it might be a quick one

Hint - it's zoomed, the blocks are pixel-size

Damnit, finally I knew one but didn't post the answer in time.

My own kempston hack (coded without reference to the article you mentiond) I did a couple of years ago exhibits the exact same behaviour.

I don't know about that sync thing and it freezes ZX Spin emulating a 48. For simiplicity, just replace with a halt sync: ;ld a,r ; padding instruction ;in a,(c) ;cp e ;jp nz,sync halt and for the illegal instruction problems: Edge_Loop: push bc ; preserve B for loop ld c,(hl) ; B = ypos1 C = xpos1 ...

I'm in no way connected with Active Consult, but they have a couple of N-Go's available for ordering https://store.activeconsult.co.uk/shop/ols/products/n-go-board-bc011e75-2fb5-47bc-a8d4-0f52d7fcc731 I ordered one on Friday. No idea when it might arrive - May/June is a little vague, but no more vag...

Didn't send it off in the end. Discovered I was an idiot and had the audio cable in the wrong port.

Thanks for the advice. I couldn't quite bring myself to dishwasher it but I've meticulously cleaned as much of it as I can and the smell has largely gone. Replaced the membrane with one from RWAP - superb replacement I have to say - and the machine works.... but AY is dead. The area around the AY ch...

Bit annoying. It must have happened month+ ago. The urine had mixed with dust and grime and cat hair and had congealed in there coating much of the keyboard and it got through to the motherboard. Case is all clean but needs a new membrane - not too concerned about that part. But I've tried to clean ...

What you're thinking is correct but you're code in the two snippets above are not actually doing the same thing. The pattern number (or memory address in pattern memory) is actually "N N N N N N N6" (times 128 for memory address) with N6 the least significant bit. Why is N6 the least sign...

I was intending to wait until I have a Next in my grubby mits before attempting to code for it, but screw that if I have to wait another year! So I'm porting something from SAM Coupé as my first foray into it as all the game logic will stay the same amd I just need to rewrite some platform specific ...
