Spectrum Computing

It sounds like it's stack related. All my spectacular game development crashes back to copyright prompt or other sections of the ROM were due to mismatched pushes and pops. As you're using an emulator you could try adding write breakpoints to the addresses around the stack area to see if you're over...

Here's a new release to mark LFN browser's 3rd birthday and the 41st birthday of the ZX-Spectrum. It can be downloaded from here . v0.24 Assembly rewrite of the .brwscfg configuration tool as a 128 startup style menu driven program. Fixed issue with certain Unicode characters in long filenames causi...

As promised earlier and as a present for the Spectrum's 41st birthday, you can now get the digital download version of Winter Wonder Worm here.

No, you need a ZX-EVO machine which is an advanced version of the Spectrum originating from Russia. It was the next Spectrum before the Spectrum Next.

Had a quick look at the .tzx for Airwolf and the first BASIC block loads a piece of code to address 59035 which then uses the ROM tape loader to load in the screen and a large block of code from 24000 up to 65535 (the code at 59035 gets overwritten with the same code again to keep everything happy)....

Another awesome demo in 2023:

I got my tape earlier this week. I discovered that almost every speccy I own has something wrong with it! Mostly keyboard membranes. My Spectrum+ saved the day. On the first try I nearly finished it, but that was clearly a fluke because I keep failing around level 4 each time. I'm wondering if the ...

How did you manage to fit both games into 48k? I thought manic miners 20 levels were pushing what could be achieved? The room data in Manic Miner and JSW is very compressible as the levels are mostly gaps. Adding 20 new levels is very doable as Jet Set Willy 2 has a load more screens than the first...

After press SS+F in NMI menu is visible only one bottom line with one filename. Bug ? I use kempston controll. If filebrowser show any error message then wait only for any key, but kempston fire button is ignored. Kempston controll is also ignored in hex view and text view. Can you fit it ? Small i...

So I headed over to buy a copy... then got sticker shock when I saw how much shipping to the US costs. Had to top up my Paypal account to buy it, so give me a few days...

Thank you!

New test version available here . Just a small update to add support for the newly modified divMMC CPLD firmware which has new mapram features. It should not affect existing divMMC or divIDE hardware. A bug with plugin error messages not redrawing filenames when the message is cleared was also fixed.

No, they're UK based.

But nevermind, I have already bought one copy. Two only lefts now!

Thank you!

It's brilliant Bob. Very addictive and hard as hell. This looks trippy as hell - you could have marketed it as LSD-Snake! £8.95 shipping is a lot, but sign of the times I suppose. I'll get a copy of Crazy Blaster too. Congrats on getting published. Edited - thought it was inspired by Snake Pit Than...

Works for me in Firefox. It does say it's an unsecure download - which I have to allow - as my website is http not https.

Which link?

Ladies may not be for turning but this worm certainly is! You'll need to steer a hungry Wonder Worm round 6 different levels eating up the yummy food that appears as you slither around. The more food you eat the longer you become. Be careful not to crash into yourself or the walls otherwise you'll ...

Hi @bob_fossil, many thanks for the latest test version. I just copied it to the SD cards of my Omni and my eLeMeNt and it worked fine on both. Many thanks for the Kempston support in the new configuration tool, for me it is just more play around with the configuration tool with the joystick. I fou...

New test version available here . The new configuration program respects the current browser font and pressing left and right now toggles the state for 'on / off' menu options. If you have Kempston joystick support enabled, you can now use that to navigate and select options in the menus and dialogs.

New test version available here . The old .browse configuration program has been superseded by a new menu driven version rewritten from scratch in assembly. You can launch it with: .brwscfg2 Use cursor keys to move up and down the menus and enter to select sub menus or toggle on / off options. See t...

Hi @bob_fossil, I've been testing the ZX1 plugin that comes in the latest version of TEST and it doesn't work properly. Here is an image: https://i.postimg.cc/vg1QNvNJ/photo-2023-01-28-20-13-26.jpg The Antonio Villena's original version works properly. Thanks in advance. That shouldn't be included ...

Well really nice additions with the graphical UI-version of .brwscfg! On first look/Youtube-Video-preview here in the forum, I thought you are writing a complete GUI for your Long Filename Browser for ZX-UNO / esxDOS :D In my defence, YouTube picked that preview from the video. What's a YouTube vid...

You can load IF2 16k ROMs (e.g. Jetpac, Planetoids) in if you have a divMMC. You need the .ownrom command which you should be able to find via your favourite search engine. Or my long file name browser supports loading these files with a .ROM extension.
