Re: BEEPOLA: Exiting after every note
How is it made in Manic Miner? Dividing each note in micronotes of the same duration? Ir produces a ratchet effect, sort of a percussion

Re: SpecEmu stopped working on my system
Thanks Luzie. I've tried this latest version and one from 2020 and the emulation speed is faster in fuse, ZXSpin and Emuzwin than in Specemu.Luzie wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 9:01 pm There´s a new version out. Maybe you want to try it: viewtopic.php?p=121459#p121459

Sorry to use this thread for another issue with Specemu. Latest versions run slower on my system Win7 64bits.

Re: Play Amiga games online, including multiplayer
I have tried with Rodland and Battle Squadron. It works pretty well. I wish there was something like that for the Spectrum. I never made this feature work with Emuzwin.

Re: Best modern tool for creating Spectrum adventure games
Other makers for CYOA adventures are ETDLL and MUCHO
ETDLL is simpler than MUCHO. One can create games like this

Re: NEW THEME! for the Spectrum Computing Forums
Yes, I like to read the forums this way. I make double sided documents and choose 8 point Verdana in bold. Saving ink is not a problem as I go to a copy shop but one could choose Century Gothic in grayscale if readability is secondary.Lol

Re: NEW THEME! for the Spectrum Computing Forums
I'd like to see a theme based on Sinclair font
To save paper I use the smallest size and Verdana which I find most readable.
If you want to improve usability on small devices, you may find ways to get more padding between buttons.
