Re: Spectrum interface to do programming?
There was also the Currah MicroSource @1024MAK. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/1000080/Hardware/Currah_MicroSource I don't realise until today that this device offered Forth too! I used the µSource a few years back under emulation. (Fuse has support for it.) It’s pretty nifty, if a little cu...

Re: JSSpeccy 3 Online Emulator
Pretty sweet!
Sound is a bit distorted and lags a little, but that’s a minor thing.

Re: How to load and run these 128K games?
I wonder if there is a simple cookbook how to secure compatibility across all 128K models. I'm aware of slow/fast pages problem but are there any other issues ? A few, yes. There are a couple of places (including my own; see signature) that maintain a collection of fixes that improve (or restore) c...

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Joffa): vote
. . . or that bloody random thumbs up/down game in Firefly. It’s not random, strictly speaking; but it’s much easier to bean on real hardware than in an emulator, because of the video/audio/input lag the latter exhibits. I remember I got pretty good at it back in the day; didn’t even think it was t...

Re: Were some games meant to be cheated on?
I'd be curious to know if anybody here manages to get beyond the first few levels of Batty without some kind of cheat. Define “few.” I never expected it to have a proper “ending” back in the day, but getting through the first three or four levels wasn’t too difficult. You needed a fair bit of luck,...
