Hi, I just wanted to drop a note here about NextBuild which is a suite of tools for writing ZX Next software. Nextbuild comes with a library for Boriel's ZX Basic compiler that allows you to interact with the Next's hardware. Everything is packaged together which makes installing a piece of cake. Bo...
1st - will receive £50 2nd - will receive £20 It's been a few years since our game competition, so I think its time for another! This time the theme is a >>>>>speed game>>>>>>! What is a speed game? This is a type of game that requires the player to quickly input movements to be successful. For inst...
Right now I'd be happy with just the board.... The board only option has been delivered a long time ago, over 300 of them went out - it was said at the time if you dont want to wait for full kits back the board only - I'm sorry you didnt take that option, I did try and wrangle you a board at the ti...
but the board is done—we're guaranteed something aren't we? The board is bought and paid for yes- also boxes, psu, manuals, SD cards, Pis etc But I am sure everyone would prefer it in the case and with the keyboard as promised. my guess is that we have a bunch of good guys getting increasingly stre...
The failure to renew the Certificate for their main website is just another example of the apathy and lack of concern for this project.

I took a risk and went through the cert warning to the site; it's still there and people are posting. Another month passed... Hmmm....we are going to get the finished product this year...aren't we? Who the f**k knows? :lol: No seriously, we are ALL waiting the news on the flipping keyboard and its ...
Thanks :) Although we know that Poke was the one who pioneered Atari tricks on Speccy, I have to stress that no single bit of his routines or any other tools or knowledge was used to make this demo. In fact, I don't even know how exactly he does this stuff but AFAIK our approach is quite different....
Slightly offtopic - check this this recent Spectrum demo, the music may really surprise you. As I understand it's AY mixing samples with regular "instruments" plus some very tricky timing which enables some animation on the screen meanwhile. http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=75986 It's ...
Matt's a great guy and his emulator looks really promising.
[mention]PaulJ[/mention] of course TSS should include the Next. There’s lots of us who have back the Next and would love to see if being explored in the show.
To be honest the new site sucks Lee. It looks awful and seems overly engineered for what it needs to be. On mobile its even worse. Personally, I don't want to use that as my new WoS but then how would you know that as you never involved the community. Hidden stuff on WoS? meh. When the FTP was open ...
