My 16K #ZXSpectrum with new issue 1 keyboard.

Components from Sintech Shop UK

** update **

Had a sticky "E" key situation but refitted before adhesive cured too hard. Working properly now and it's all evenly installed too.

"Why do you need a 3D printer" they asked?

Because...this 👇

@richardtroupe NBA Jam is such a fun two player title and I’ve got so many fond memories playing on the cabinet in my college days.

Good on zelensky for standing up to bullying.

Achtung Fake-News‼️‼️

@llamasoft_ox this highlights the need for Bluesky to up their translation game on IOS and it’s good that Dom’s now home.

If you're working on a third gen iPod, make sure you check out @paulrickards excellent post about the same topic: https://biosrhythm.com/?p=2851

@AnnieRat1 yes it’s a nifty little thing, thanks for recommending the Ebadges one. Ironically I get shot down for saying “sell the badges to your friends for 50 pence” but she wants an Etsy store to start of her retail empire. 👀🧐 😂

@AnnieRat1 I don’t think mine is too well iirc, I’ve got Doom, Tempest, Sensible Soccer and the obligatory Cybermorph for it. My daughters Badgemaker is a big hit by the way. She’s already took orders from her friends and taken them to school.

After an issue with an original disk error last week, we decided to go with the #Gotek.
The #CDTV is ideal for this, because it doesn't require a hardware mod for the external Gotek. Time for some #MonkeyIsland.

@Vyothric the Megadrive tunes seem to be well reproduced on that era”s sound cards.

@AnnieRat1 I’m guessing it was a lazy port from the Megadrive version just using the Motorola 68000, saying that I love a good puzzle game. My Jag hasn’t seen the light of day for quite a few years.

@Blerkotron Portal RTX was worth a play for me, Quake 2 RTX less so. Half-Life 2 still stood up well on my last play thru, for the RTX upgrade, the added graphics fidelity is mitigated as my rose tinted memory remembers how amazing it looked the first time around anyway. 🤷‍♂️ it probably won’t feel as good a upgrade from software graphics to Glide/OpenGL did in the late 90”s.

@AnnieRat1 we got the small 25mm one cheap, but I’ve seen you can buy the different sizes module separately. My daughter loves crafting and making things but wanted something cheap but reliable. Thanks for advice, I’ll post a picture of our attempts.

@electron_greg that looks lovely. I love a green screen, it either reminds me of early computers, Amstrad’s or Fallout.

Bought an ancient 12" CRT monitor for my Minstrel 4D (Jupiter Ace clone). It suffered from very poor geometry and brightness. I opened it up and after twiddling several internal potentiometers it is now a million times better!

@AnnieRat1 I’ve not got it yet, I’ve bought a complete second hand ebadges maker and cuter from eBay, it says it’s got about 250 parts with it, I was just interested what you use on your ebadges maker. I’d warned the 13 year old that the genuine ones aren’t cheap.

@AnnieRat1 sorry to resurrect this post, I’ve got her a cheap ebadges maker with some badge parts, am I best to buy genuine ebadge parts for the future?
