Spectrum Computing

The MB03+ has got a big update, in the fpga-core and also in the SetUp firmware. - new advanced audio - the SID soundchip (old/new/pal/ntsc models) - Wi-Fi connection and online RTC setup, - new StartUp/Boot options, - ACB/ABC for AY/YM, - Z-Controller for TR-DOS software, - change of a SD slots ord...

The fabulous SID was added to the FPGA core. Currently one SID is supported. ZXi ports available for all SID registers and new, OLD6581/NEW8580/PAL/NTSC settings. https://sites.google.com/view/elementzx/home This brought not only a more convenient PSID-files emulation, but it is also an important st...

Maybe a shared standard exists by computers with both latin and cyrillic alphabets in ROM?
Spektr48, Blitz, Hobbit, Orel Bk-08
At least some of them follow the KOI-7 character standard (do not know which one).

As Alone Coder said, a crucial issue is the timig. The very first - in english language written - explanation, is here: https://worldofspectrum.net/features/rusfaq/index.html There was a partial solution in nineties, in order to run new demos (converted to TAPs from TRDs), to purchase a +2A or +3 mo...

The example program isn't enabling ula+ so needs a few more outs: Really? I did not know about this fact. The ULA+ palette seems to be an inherent part of the Radastan, simply said: some ULA+ palette is always used. (?) Commands OUT 48955,64 and OUT 65339,1 should have different purpose, should swi...

LMN128 improved the turbosound's FM part (in MB03+ and eLeMeNt ZX FPGA),
let's listen to this new recording

Thank you so much!

The acceleration is visible. Surely this will beat the DMA version.

Dear NEO SPECTRUMAN, big thanks for all effort you have done. Your player for the HW-SID in the eLeMeNt ZX has been presented right now at Bytefest . Also many thanks for the patience and support. I know it is at least the third SID standard for the Speccy, next the Unreal emulator and the ZX-TSid, ...

ah, BMPs direct suppport, I could save time ...
in that case, a converter is not needed

These are 6262 bytes long as they are in windows .bmp format. thanks, I was not aware of the length of that format I used this converter: https://github.com/Utodev/radascreen which can produce files of 6160 bytes a raw binary, in which a colour palette is stored right behind the pixel bitmap such a...

not much used, although pretty cute and "economical", it consists of 6144 (6160) bytes in zx screen area it doesn't seem to be supported anymore, several games exist especially the Return to Holy Tower is a great game https://www.zxuno.com/ht2/ here are some screens: https://zxfiles.samcou...

eLeMeNt ZX has just got the Overclock - from the real 20 MHz up to (real) 30 MHz - ROM system can be speeded up to 28 MHz - switchable on-the-run through the Extra button and number keys in the Spectrum Mode (or with an external keyboard attached) 5 - OverClock mode 22MHz 6 - OverClock mode 28MHz - ...

Looks like a Speccy version of the fantastic XTree Gold DOS file management system 8-) in fact, it is a speccy version of the Amiga's Directory opus http://www.classicamiga.com/images/stories/jreviews/software/D/dopus4_3.png It is possible to write user-plugins? Not yet. LnxCmd currently has a view...

Does anyone have the latest version, please?

Many thanks!

Hi, Marius is the mainboard coming from retrocomp.cz with FW installed The mainboard is ready with the FLASH memory content prepared (flashed), you need to make this final steps 1) put a 20 MHz CPU into the socket 2) install the FPGA Artix-7 Alchitry Au (or Au+) board on the eLeMeNt ZX motherboard 3...

Several hardware interfaces of the ZX-Uno, incl. radastan registers, were implemented into the LMN's hardware. Cute graphics of Radastan seems to be exclusively a matter of the ZX-Uno and SpecNext (?). Now you can run the radastan on any older ZX Spectrum with the MB03+ interface attached. Some soft...

eLeMent ZX core continues to merge the two worlds of western and eastern ZX-hardware. Now it came to a SD-slot of the Z-Controller . IMHO the best programs with a ZC support are Wild Player and Wild Copier . Software no longer needs to be patched for the divmmc. Both SD slots are available in esxDOS...

NEO SPECTRUMAN made a NedoOS version of S98 player. I read it, wonderful, there is no problem with files bigger than 48/64K (or 640K) :) Maybe, would you start a separate thread named "NedoOS Primer"? Any comparison with the esxDOS will be also appreciated. For example: esxDOS - assembler...

owners of a broader range of Spectrums, old and modern, can reproduce FM-quality music Thanks.

Please correct the sound emulation

Many thanks for pointing this issue. Please download the new version 1.8.4b.

+ now the LnxSpectrum can handle some eLeMeNt ZX ports, eg. CPU speed and internal memory of 2MB
Also please note the built-in esxDOS is updated to the latest v.0.89.

Especially for those who do not have free ZX+3/+2A keyboards, a PC keyboard support is added.
More details and the layout of mapped keys are given in the ProgRef manual: https://sites.google.com/view/elementzx/docs

Another news is that the eLeMeNt ZX begins to share some ZXi ports with ZX-Uno.

NSID_Player_Pro r0633 for HardSID on AY Ports (unstable) Many thanks for new versions! Please, could you explain differences between versions "TS" and "HardSID for AY" (at least a link to some russian webpage, because speccy HardSID is hard to find, it is currently a very generi...

angry Russians are so angry that they never supported the esxDOS-es well, good news is that also good Russians exist 8-) At least, please share some details of your data-handling interface or make a basic loader entry...
