Re: ZX2040 for the RP2040
Oh wow, I've got a Pimoroni Tufty sitting in a drawer that I never got around to playing with. I'll have to give this a go.
Thanks for the heads up!

Dropped the .uf2 file onto the Tufty, and it automagically worked! 
Had a quick game of Jetpac. It's a bit tricky using the Tufty's face buttons, since they're a bit of an awkward arrangement and need quite a firm press to actuate. But the game seems to run absolutely fine, as does the 3D viewer demo.
There is a 1-pixel line of "static" - constantly changing random black and white pixels - across the top of the screen, but that doesn't really detract from the experience.
I don't have a piezo speaker handy to test the sound, but it just wiggles a single RP2040 pin in the same manner as a real Spectrum, so it should be a reasonably authentic experience.
What a neat little project!
