ZX Omni on maintenance duty tonight as I finally get around to fixing the "pick a good'un" feature of the original random picker and add it to the new one.

@glc 40 seconds in and I've had enough 😬

Last night's Master System heat induced madness is now up on the tubes

In a change to the advertised programme, tonight's stream will begin with Dragon Crystal on the Sega Master System and then who knows! (Warning this stream may contain the sound of fans blowing)

Anyway, live in 5! https://www.twitch.tv/jimblimey

Having a proper floaty one today, but don't worry I do still intend on streaming tonight - just perhaps not the tippy tappy type in.. We shall see!

@Wintermute_BBS I've got two but can only find the one at the moment.. One of my wrists may have to go without 😆

Weather permitting tomorrow's stream shall be a nice relaxed tippy tappy #ZXSpectrum type in.

@hedders Its the best way!

@hedders different! I would assume it wouldnt compile at all for Next target

@hedders the world needs more pointless nonsense 😁

In tonight's pointless things I've spent time doing ever wanted a neofetch type program for the #ZXSpectrum?

Well, your prayers have been answered! (And yes, this does do rudimentary hardware detection using a bunch of functions from Z88DK)

This morning, before I floated away I was putting together a Speccy based random pickler for SMS games.. This could work as a stream I think.

@raymierussell @glc if I was the type I would take the multi cart SD card reader thingy apart and figure out how it worked

@raymierussell yes and no. I DO have the input switcher.. run the pickler on the Speccy, switch to SMS to play selected game

2022 was the last time I did a Master System lucky dip??? Going to have to do something about that I think!

So yeah, taking one of those Benny Bunny games that didn't play nice and converting it to a snapshot has fixed it.

Last night's #ZXSpectrum nonsense is up on the tubes.

Think today I shall fiddle with some of the games that didnt load, see if I can figure something out to improve their chances (initial thought is 48K sna where possible)

@haitchfive many broken games (I think the Spectranet's BASIC extensions cause havoc with several games) and some utter crap games too.. Was saved in the end by a golf game of all things!

@haitchfive it was painful (for me anyway 😆)

Right then. What have you got for me this time?

Live in 5!
