Anyone know of any detailed documentation (or books about) the ZX Spectrum 128 online that's, ideally, period accurate (not about later emulators, modifications, etc). Actual manuals, books, etc, of the time (hopefully in decent quality scans). I've done some digging on online, but haven't found much that seems terribly complete or in good shape.

I'm just going to leave this here; this is an NES version of Nodes.

It's not perfect, but it's a pretty interesting proof of concept.

I Ball - Intro (Sample & Beeper) by Timothy Closs

Holy cow, you guys.

I didn't think I'd be an AI influencer, and I'm not, but I had to share this.

I posted earlier that I'd completed the BSS pass on the ZX Spectrum game Nodes of Yesod so I could add code for bug fixes, etc. Well, I was idly wondering what else I might do with it, and I've been rattling on about how it is all working, and blah, blah, blah, and it occurred to me that there might be a proof of life that I could share, at least temporarily.

What did I do? I wrote a "one-shot" prompt to convert the Nodes of Yesod Z80 assembler code (from the disassembly) to C and target WASM (WebAssembly). It took 42 minutes with zero input from me, and then I was playing Nodes of Yesod in the browser. I'd skipped sound for that first pass (I thought the beeper sound on the Speccy might be tough). In 20 minutes, the sound was working.

You can play it in your browser at the link below. This is NOT an emulator; it's Z80 assembler code converted to C and compiled to WASM. It thinks it is updating a Speccy display and getting Speccy keyboard input, and there's a light translation layer in and out.

So the cycle was Nodes of Yesod cassette tape image -> disassembled to Z80 assembler source code (and data) -> converted to C -> compiled to WASM. All with Claude Code.

I'll take this down at some point; play it while it is up. There are probably bugs.

SDK для ретрокомпьютера на примере Evo SDK

Как установила современная наука, SDK — это набор инструментов для разработки программного обеспечения, как правило, под определённую компьютерную платформу, операционную систему или устройство. Весьма полезная в хозяйстве вещь. Это довольно древнее изобретение человечества, однако есть устройства, созданные ещё раньше, и по этой причине изначально никаким SDK не обладающие. Также есть и новодельные, современные любительские платформы. Для всего этого безобразия тоже крайне полезно иметь какое-то подобие SDK. Чем полезно, а также кто, как и зачем может его сделать — разберёмся в этой статье. А в качестве примера возьмём некоторые мои старые проекты, главным образом Evo SDK для 8-битного компьютера ZX Evolution.

Here's some more detail about the recently revived Timex Computer 3256 (a third-generation ZX Spectrum successor derived from the Timex Sinclair 2068 and the Timex Computer 2048)

If you don't have the time to watch the full presentation and you only want to see TENET working between some networked Spectra, you may head straight to the practical demo here:

#TimexSinclair #Timex #TC3256 #TENET #ZXSpectrum #Spectrum #Speccy #retrocomputing #TS2068

Few of us, even the most studious ones, probably ever heard of the Timex Computer 3256, a ZX Spectrum-inspired successor to the Timex Sinclair 2068, or believed it was forever lost to time.

Some incredible engineers unearthed the Timex Computer 3256 AND its peripherals, and revived it in 2024. The Sinclair-inspired computer, its networking interface called TENET (short for: Timex Educational Network), floppy drive controller, networking software for the classroom, and all. Restored, revived, and re-created in new hardware. It's nothing short of a Jurassic Park achievement, infusing life and embodiment to something that only remained in some faint ROM memories.

See their presentation here:

(it's a long one, but I promise every minute is worth it for the dedicated ZX Spectrum engineer)

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #Tremor . Nice big graphics and very colourful with some interesting nasties to shoot. It comes across as quite a pretty game, and I think it's quite a large maze as well, judging from the cassette inlay.
