Is this a SAM emulator for DOS? Can anyone clarify? https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/fjicf5b9oynx4u7uhhupx/Emulador-SAM.TZX?rlkey=pxvsah4ezzz47606ymbigbvvf&dl=0 Your tzx contains text: Emulator and Coded by Graham "TURBO" Mason / Minor Miracles 1990 Which seems to indicate that this is ...

The Renegade poster is still in active memory and directly associated with Queen, but I’d never seen the spines of all those game tapes.

Also, to TakuikaNinja: a guy in NZ North Island told me (something something) about Speccy usage in NZ, but I could never find any info about anyone, in the entire history of New Zealand, who ever had a Speccy (and I had a fairly comprehensive pen-pal list in the 90s). And my correspondent was born...

Last one I had was okay... https://i.postimg.cc/K1ZWXHKt/IMG-7808.jpg I think the RFC2047 encoding only kicks in when the subject is "too" long 'How big should new Speccy games be? 48k? Bigger? Release 2 versions?' is longer than 60 which seems to be the setting for too long in phpBBmailer.

Thunderbird 115.7.0. However, my client seems irrelevant, since you can see from the the mail headers (which are written before the mail reaches my client) that the message was corrupted. AFAIK it is your mail client's job to decode the mail headers correctly, this issue https://bugzilla.mozilla.or...

Which mail client are you using?

If I am reading https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/issues/1949 correctly, your mail client should be handling this encoding automatically.

As you, I would expect them to be little endian, but of the special sort that live on Endor.

This is from memory, check if it works out:
- lowest byte normal
- high byte - must remove top 2 bits (ie combined with low byte can address at most 16383 bytes)
- pages byte (how many 16K are involved)

Have you looked at Ringo? https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/3 ... trum/Ringo

Have a nice relaxing oasis:

Eskimo Eddie

Hayne's page says that he did his own scans. But pavero says (in previous page of this thread) that he scanned it. So who is guilty? (or whose scan do we have?) I am joking more than criticising... And there I was thinking you were just hijacking Pavero's pdf manual scan thread, since I could not f...

Right I don't even know why people are disputing this because, as I said, it was a list of routines, and the "typo" one was precisely in the place where INVERSE belongs in the character set. We know it's inverse. The only question is why someone wrote "courier". P.S. I paid for ...

The jsspeccy3 colours as used to emulate games on this site look terribly washed out to me. Maybe it is the result of years of using emulators with a saturated palette, maybe not. Gasman does not want to change jsspeccy3's colours until he is approached with a scientific palette (see github issue 17...

Yep, been there. Still if Kiwi's schematics work out, we can recreate a new INTERSPEC?

My point was more my surprise at finding that until two years ago the original producer was still trading and selling these.

You seem to be just a few years too late. www.dcpmicro.com takes me to a new standard getting started Wordpress page, that does contain in the lower left corner: DCP Microdevelopments A record of the developments and products produced by DCP Microdevelopments from its inception in 1981 until closure...

It seems that this error was introduced when the author initially ocr'ed and fixed the manual - see http://hayne.net/Spectrum/HiSoftBASIC/ The easy confirmation is to write a basic program with the inverse keyword and see if it does indeed compile to code 120. On a side note, the lack of alternative...

Hoi Martin,

I converted the Speccy version of Sophistry to the SAM Coupé in 1994

- developed on my SAM Coupé
- others did not playtest
- Comet Assembler
- SAMpaint (by Robert van der Veeke) and E-Tracker (by Craig Turberfield)
- No negotiations

It is. See AY and beeper (and even better SAA1099) versions at https://zxart.ee/eng/search/action:perf ... e:Sanxion/

Also pretty much everything by Tiny Williams / Sound Images.

Pretty much everything by Joe McAlby, starting with:

- Hostages
- North & South

Commando High Score music is probably my favourite tune of all time. I think the Spectrum AY main Commando gameplay tune holds its own against C64 but this piece is sadly not included (just the main theme plays over HS too). The Lords’ conversion is, as always, brilliant. Quinquagesima has both tun...

Sabre Wulf?

You know, I might have come across something like that while searching for the answer to this question, but I wouldn't have understood what it meant in practical terms. I'm just not really a hardware person. :lol: In which case I can recommend watching https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLowKtXN...
