just to make R tape feel better.

What is actually happening in this game, I had no idea. Thats what my dad used to say about all spectrum games. Only now do I understand :lol:

Re: "The music wrote cheques that the game couldn't cash"

The light corridor and xenon. I often load these just to hear the music.

Not that the games are bad necessarily. I put the light corridor on last night just to listen to it. I think there are 4 pieces of music, great stuff. :)

Re: Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games

So glad to see bombjack make the list. Such an addictive game, and the spectrum version nails it for speed and frantic action. Brilliant. The CPC version is good too, better graphics but slower that the spectrum counterpart. The playability, and fast frantic nature of the spectrums game makes it the...

Dr Slump's awesome exsdos nmi browser

This nmi browser is excellent.

Attach and detach tape files from the nmi browser.

Eg, use tasword 2 and save files to virtual tapes. Or even real tape.

So you have a pretty workable text editor working with your divide.

Ace.

Re: Polish speaker wanted - DivIDE 2k20 AY

Hi I just ordered one of these, and while I wait for it arrive I want to prepare my CF card.

I have a 4 GB CF, does this need to be partitioned, or just formatting to fat16?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Duckstroma

I used fuse to make a .sna and that works on my divide on my grey +2.

Excellent game. Very addictive.

I love the nes style graphic look of the rooms and walls etc. Works really well on the spectrum.

The music is top notch too. One of the best I've heard on the zx. I love it.

Great game :D

Re: Manual for divide 2k 20 Ay

Hi Peter, Yes I did. It's quite confusing for my simple brain. Re setting up the CF card it says.... How to prepare a CF CARD ? A. There must be one ACTIVE partition on your CF card! This is very important!!! If I may suggest something, the best way to do this is to use WINDOWS XP instalalation CDRO...

Re: ZX Spectrum ROM Cartridge + Interfaces from Quazar

Hi, these look interesting.

Do these work with the interface 2?

How to you programme the ROMs? Can it be done from the spectrum? I guess you need to buy a rim.burner too?

They look cool.

Manual for divide 2k 20 Ay

Is there a manual that anyone know of for this device?

The site says you should consider the pass through version for 128k or +2/+3, but why?

Also how do you flash the firmware?

I've ordered one of these but can't find anything about it online really :roll: :o :shock:

Re: Duckstroma

Suh-weet! (It’s best not to pack a custom loader in a TAP file. Leave that to the TZX and use the standard ROM loader for the TAP. Many emulators—and quick-load devices—will not be able to cope with anything other than the standard ROM loader inside a TAP file.) I tried to load this today on my +2 ...

Homemade enclosures for divide devices

I got fed up of my bare divide and made a very basic enclosure for it from card and black tape! For some reason I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I do wish I could find a SD card adapter that was at 90 degrees though? Has anyone made a 3d printed case, or have you made your own case some othe...
