Friday night re-felting my carts. #FF #FeltingFriday #zxspectrum #microdrive #microlife

Networkin’ like it’s 1983! Well sort of. But I finally found a legitimate use for the telly’s picture-in-picture mode #zxspectrum #interface1 #sinclair #network #baudrate #chunteyfield

Ah, okay… now it’s #Christmas.

New High Score: 24,180 ☃️

Competition is heating up in round two of the Spectrum Computing Christmas High Score Challenge! This week’s game is The Snowman. spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/vi…

Merry Crashmas! 🌈 🤖 👻 🐢

Tonight’s silly project: replacing a tired old ZX Spectrum cassette with a freshly-recorded new one! TZXDuino! Sony TCM-818! By far the hardest part was printing a new label!

Oidhche Shamhna 👻 #spooky

Wayhey, it’s new game Saturday: Millie & Molly on Commodore 64!

Resistance is… ~futile~ approximately 18KΩ

New project time! It’s a recreated Romantic Robot Multiface 128. (Or rather it soon will be, hopefully!)

I’ve removed, tested, replaced or bodged almost everything and it’s still not working! Time to give up, or start saving for an expensive oscilloscope… #eBay #fixerupperopportunity #zxspectrum #repair

Last night’s re-cap seems to have been a success. The -5v line in particular was really noisy, but now the voltages (-5,+5 and +12) all seem to be nice and stable. Bad news: that means something else must still be wrong! (Yeah I’m lookin’ at you, IC3!!) #zxspectrum #repair

Uh oh! #zxspectrum #repair

Jetpack Jock by @_gazmarshall is so super hardcore difficult* you really ought to set your Cruiser to Tension Level Two: extra tight. (No one has ever used Level Three). Now to just get past level two of the game!

• easy mode now also available!

Making some progress! This will be much faster in machine code (and probably easier to traverse the display file with bitwise operations) but in the meantime I’m enjoying using Looking Glass for working in BASIC. #zxspectrum #alphacom32

Tonight I’m trying to stuff the display file into the print buffer 32 bytes at a time, in the right order. (Why? Mostly because I want to print screenshots and the COPY command misses the bottom two rows.) But! I’ve upset the tokeniser! #zxspectrum

I am on my holidays. #retro #zxspectrum

Aye, but does your gaming rig support hi-definition graphics and stereo sound? #zxspectrum 🌈 👾

Postie has been. Time to print all the things! (No, it’s not bog-roll, it’s till-roll!) 🧻 🦖 🌈

Restoring some eBay junk this evening. What a beauty though. #hench #badlad #whsmith #cpd8300

I’ve had a new power converter sent over from Tosche Station. Now my toastrack is much cooler. #ZXSpectrum
