Spectrum Computing

That's right. I'm doing this. Show me your Speccy setup! Spectrum Next and clones are welcome here too.

I think a ZXBaremulator Pi counts as a Speccy clone.

Not strictly a 'setup', but I do love Mr Dickinson's designs.

These are mine, Black one is a Harlequin 128K rev 2D which I finished building last weekend. Worked first time, well, once I put the ROM in the correct way
Orange is a Harlequin 48K and white is a Next N-GO.

I would love to get into N-GO for higher-end Speccy games since I've been having no luck with getting the OG into the US so far. I hope I can hook it up with RCA/AV cables at least.

I mean...I've just discovered ZXBaremulator and have been running it on a Pi 3B+ but here's another thing I wonder about: can I load programs by using an AUX cable on it? After all, it's close enough to hardware without being FPGA I think.

Part of my emulator based setup...

@firelord Lemme guess: you use Puppy Linux, right?

The N-GO has the same video out as a Next, so HDMI and RGB/VGA.

I should've known that, but thanks.

Yes - actually it's Debian Dog... much better

Funnily enough, there is a Debian-based Pup too. I even installed Fuse onto it, but I'm probably going to mostly test Windows games on it if I happen to make any.

Also, I'm thinking of getting this to challenge myself in terms of limitations. It's one of the precursors to the MPAGD software and it aims for 48k machines rather than later models.

There are puppies for every distro. The dogs are much better because they combine the puppy advantages and am actual distro. I have a 300MB base system and the rest 10GB are in squashfs (100+) and appimages. It's like a LEGO OS
