Spectrum Computing

This is the English translated version that I have.

Russian members probably know more, but one thing is for sure, the game is really impressive. That level of smoothness with shaded graphics is amazing. I don't know which optimization method was used, because the engine resembles Hard Driving, but the speed is incomparable in favor of Awaken. There ...

Pegaz = Pegasus

But, its somewhat related to the Spectrum, as well.

Four years above average, not bad...
btw, nice to see a lot of youngsters here.
Some were apparently lucky enough, to get their first Spectrum in kindergarten.

54, so maybe...

Another good pac-man is always welcome, and this one looks really nice and polished, well done. :) Although we allready have a Pac-Man emulator with the original Roms, I was most impressed by this unfinished version "SpecMan". https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/21830/ZX-Spectrum/SpecMan...

Its interesting to me, that it was mentioned twice, that they will not deal with less known formats.
Nevertheless, then he described various exotic eastern formats, FDI, UDI, Hobeta, he even mentioned szx, but did not bother to mention pzx in a single word, as a very useful tzx alternative...

It's not pleasing to my eyes and I simply can't get used to it.
Someone here, has a signature - If it's working, don't touch it, at all...
Maybe it's not a bad thing, to stick to it in this case as well.

I was impressed more than once... The first time when I saw the drawing of the Saturn screen on a Horizons demo tape. The second time, when I loaded my first purchased game - PSSST. I would list the rest in chronological order: Fighter Pilot, Turbo Esprit, Enigma Force, Robin of the Wood, Elite, Dyn...

It has some nice features, but also compatibility issues.
ROM checksum has been changed, also failed several flag tests, some games just don't work properly or crash compared to the original Sinclair 48/128 Roms.

The only soccer game on the Spectrum that I enjoyed was ZX Striker, even though it only consisted of a series of free kicks. Everything else, except football manager, was just a painful experience... It´s a Goal has some fine touches, but ball control is quite difficult, which can be really frustrat...

Its clear from the beginning that we are discussing compatibility issues on a very small number of examples, under certain conditions. So, general conlusions are rather pointless. Recently, I tested various custom ROMs and wanted to know how much these changes affect compatibility. I leraned some in...

I recently played the game again on the zx-uno and I can only say that it is excellent!
At the same time, it was very useful for testing different Spectrum cores, which will help us to improve their accuracy.

Thanks for a lot of useful information. We allready know, that some games (Rasputin) require an issue 2 keyboard to work. I'm curious, if there are the opposite cases, where a game requires an issue 3 keyboard and refuses to work on older boards ? Also, heres additional information regarding the det...

Rasputin (48K): the Softlock loader decrypts data against the ROM, so will only work on the original 48K machine. This is a very strange game. Apart from the ROM check, the game works properly only with the issue 2 keyboard. Otherwise, the sound is messed up and the game crashes on start. It would ...

I know there is a fix for many problematic games, but that was not my question.
I wanted to know which ones check the ROM and how they behave if differ from the original Sinclair ones.

Thanks for the info.
It would be interesting, if theres more software that checks the Sinclair welcome message...

A long time ago, when Amstrad released its first Spectrum +2, I read somewhere that a changed welcome message could cause a compatibility problem with some earlier software. Is this true and is there any example of Spectrum software that checks if ROM contains the exact message "1982 Sinclair R...

the.beginner Really like this thread. :) Please keep us updated with your emulator development. I can't help with sound emulation, but I can tell you that almost all authors of the most accurate Spectrum emulators are members of this forum. They may not all be active right now, but if you're lookin...

Very nice Exolon remake for Windows PC and HTML:

Is this what you're looking for ?

This is the version I used on my 48k Spectrum, back in the day and I’ve never had a single issue with it.
Lenslok protection was removed, I played it to exhaustion during the summer of 1986.

Can you share your version of the game, the one I have doesn't seem to work.
Or this is one of those days again, a full moon or something...

It seems, pictures of Spitfire 40 is missing...

Thanks for the reply :) As for Sinclairian I changed the the GPIO settings in zxscanner.py to match the Zxbaremulator so i could swap sd cards in each machine i have, so it should work in the new PCB but retro shack has changed the PCB to the new PI zero 2 (cheaper). That's not a problem, pi zero 2...
