#ZX81 scratchings update: with a little time this week, I managed to press buttons and add some more to my MGAc!d inspired... game? Now with added being able to spend cards to move, trashing cards, and querying squares.... This is the slowest progressing basic program ever. Note: video is at like 10x actual speed! 🫏#RetroComputing

#MastoPrompt 12 Apr #Yonder

A computer or a motorbike, it’s a question to ponder,
Whatever I choose, it will require me to wander,
I could hitch hike down, to the big smoke yonder,
Although in the end, I bought a local Honda.

“16 year old Scott hitch hiked from Swindon to London with £100 in his pocket”

"Cosmic Payback", ZX81 Edition.

Tras haber lanzado hace casi 5 años el videojuego original para ZX Spectrum, PROSM o John Connolly (su mismo autor) publica su 'port' para los ordenadores ZX-81 con al menos 16K de RAM. ¡En este computador de Sinclair se convierte en una pequeña maravilla técnica, muy bien desarrollada!

RetroComputing Question - ZX81

Does anyone have #ZX81 emulator recommendations? I've been doing some searching and it looks like "Eighty One" might be the go to, but the original developer stopped supporting.

Looking for something to emulate with 16k ram pack and ideally audio (or at least tap so I can convert) saving as I'd like to test things on original hardware eventually. Possibly Linux (on steam deck), but could be windows. #RetroComputing #ZXSpectrum

Das ZX1541-Interface für die Freunde von Durchsteckkomponenten

Das ZX1541-Interface in SMD zu bauen war kein Problem, zumindest was den Platzbedarf bei den gegebenen Platinenabmessungen betrifft. Etwas kniffliger war es, das Ganze mit THT-Bauteilen bei unveränderten Abmessungen zu realisieren. Es war nicht einfach, aber am Ende hat es geklappt.

Del número 1488 de la revista juvenil "Topolino", algo así como "Don Miki" pero editado en Italia. En su interior publicaron este dossier sobre Clive Sinclair y sus ordenadores domésticos.

El video de JuanFra Torres publicado en el canal de YouTube El Mundo Del Spectrum, sobre el especial ZX Spectrum de la revista Retro Computer Italia, me dio la pista y hallarlo gracias a la "mula" (no había otra forma de encontrarlo en pdf)
