Re: Daisy Chains
Such chains are cool on one hand, but also a little bit too cumbersome on the other, at least for daily use. Depending on connections they can be also a bit risky, in a move-it-and-crash-it kinda way. Being tiny and cute is something I love about my 48k, and adding Spectra to it ruined it somewhat....

Re: Difference between 48k and 48k+?
The Spectrum + membrane design is terrible and it's a wonder they ever worked properly at all in my opinion. Wow.. well.. that's fixed one problem.. and stopped me throwing out of the window. Initial build & test worked apart from those pesky Plus specific keys = clamps in place. All other buil...

Re: Difference between 48k and 48k+?
What is the problem you are having, which keys are not working? Mark The newly added single keys specific to the Plus, so things like EDIT, DELETE, quotes, full stop. They are (or were.. see below) working fine when using SHIFT 0 for delete, but not the single DELETE key. I have 2 new membranes and...

Difference between 48k and 48k+?
Is there a difference between the motherboards of the 48k rubber model and the 48k plus to handle the plus specific keys (edit, delete, quotes etc) or is it the membrane? I have a fully working plus apart from the specific keys so wondering if the donator has swapped the boards and just added the re...

[Wanted] - Bottom case for 48k
After using the cases of some of my 48k rubber models (ooerr) for third party keyboards (LoPro etc), I now find myself with plenty of top cases, 2 x motherboards but no bottom cases! Anyone got any they don't need?

Re: Spectrum Show 101
Yes, the Speccy does not know any difference, it just thinks there is a disk in the drive. I don't have a M3, but everything else I have tried software wise, just treats it like a disk without any issues.

Re: Your own lost software
The one I can imagine least is @PaulJ's kitchen designer! I wouldn't buy it now (they probably use VU-3D these days), but I like the idea that it was a possibility to do serious spectrum. Presumably coded when you were working here ? (One of the few text adventures I've actually completed btw, and ...

Ooo a lot of good stuff. I have 95% of my BASIC games (and hand drawn inlays) from 83 onwards. Where it went wrong was went I bought a Microdrive. I then stored all my stuff on those, and when I sold it.. they all went. I didn't think I would need them again! The things I can remember.. 1. ADAPT - A...

Re: Boriel’s compiler HRprint
I have not had this issue, works for me. At a guess - for the deletion prior to re-printing are you sure you're over printing at the previous y coord and not at the new incremented coord? I made a few such errors during my implementation. Ahhh yes... knew it would be something blatant I was missing...

Boriel’s compiler HRprint
Has anyone got to grips with this command, or can offer help? I have a graphic consisting of 2 UDGs.. (AB). I can get HRprint to work fine when moving horizontally, but vertical movement causes the bottom or top lines of the 8 pixel block to remain on screen causing a smearing effect. I have tried u...

Re: Lemon Amiga
Not a commercial game, but it is listed on Lemon:
My game Baldy (https://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=4015) was released by me on the Speccy (BaldyZX).
Does that count

Quick question. What if the item is not game related?

Re: Clone Wars (Space Invaders): vote
Space Evaders was a hacked version of Space Raiders. Not much changed, but the machine code for the game was published as a readers own game!
My fav has to the Artic one though.
