For those that have one anyhow
Not on a ZX per se, but I’m writing an emulator at the moment in JavaScript.
Sounds interesting. Is there a project page?
Not yet lol, am too shy
Cancelled my order and just placed an order for a Spectrum N-GO instead.
Ah cool, where did you order that from? I have an Omni somewhere. Just waiting on the hdmi adapter
Despite the nostalgia of the rubber keyboarded version I decided to go for this one as I’m planning to use it extensively and wanted a quality keyboard: https://manuferhi.com/p/n-go-full-include-wifi-rpi-zero
The nostalgia option would have been from this site: https://ultimatemister.com/product-category/zx-spectrum/
Both are great from all reviews and the keyboard on the one I ordered is rated better than on the actual ZX Spectrum Next although not as stylish.
I’ve not really had much chance to play yet. It arrived Saturday late afternoon, I was planning on setting aside a few hours this afternoon to get stuck in but something else came up. So so far all I’ve done is set it up and spent about half an hour just looking at what it can do.
Ask me again in a week!
This thread will still be here!
Were you a ZX gamer back in the day?
Oh yeah definitely. The original Speccy came out a couple of months before my 12th birthday. Unfortunately my 12th birthday present that year was NOT a Spectrum or any other kind of computer – but through a combination of saving paper round money and constant pleading/annoying mum & dad it meant that we got one by about Easter 1983. And so my paper round money for the rest of my teenage years nearly all ended up in the hands of Imagine, Ultimate, DKTronics, Ocean and all the other amazing games companies that appeared out of nowhere.
