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
👀 DualShock 4 paired to a @RetroBitGaming MegaDrive Bluetooth receiver, hooked up to a @futurewas8bit DivMMC Future (acting as a Kempston joystick interface) with a Raspberry Pi (to provide the missing +5v that a MegaDrive would supply) 🕹 #ZxSpectrum #Small #Faraway
Really good interview on the latest @TheDCJunkyard podcast—Stefan Holmqvist, who was producer on the (amazing, and ahead of its time) Dreamcast game Headhunter, talks about working with Sega to produce the game and the drama along the way. pca.st
The old tape recorder was making awful crackling noises so (after ruling out PKE interference) I cleaned out the badly oxidized volume/tone sliders and audio sockets. And fixed about half a dozen bad solder joints. And now…it works again! #WhoYouGonnaCall? #ZXSpectrum 👻
🧔🏼 Rraa-ta-taa! 🤜🔥

When yon AMSTRAD BBS gets a bit existential 🤔. Are any of us really here?! 👾
Beep beep beep, doot doot de doot! It’s actually working now. #zxspectrum #rs232 #raspberrypi
Added a stereo-to-mono hack to my audio-out mod. It’s how MacGyver loaded up Bad Dudes vs. DRAGONNINJA back in the day. What can you not do with a patch wire, a crocodile clip and some BluTac?
¡patatas bravas! 🥵 🌶 😋
Oh no!! What have I done?! #Skynet #ZXSpectrum 🤖 🌈
Upgrade time! Needed an external cassette player for my ZX Spectrum (the inbuilt one can be fussy with older tapes, especially cheapo magazine covertapes) so I made a quick audio-out mod to my trusty Fisher-Price. 🎵 👾
D’awww! Look how cute it is! #C64 😻

Well as it’s Thursday night I’d usually be out at the discotheque cutting rug and throwing shapes; but on this particular Thursday I’ve been putting together a Z80 development toolchain
Splice, splice, baby.
Uh oh
I think this means we’re getting somewhere. 3.3v TTY to +12v RS232. Networkin’ like it’s 1983.
