@sonicyoda.neocities.org You just need to style it out with mistakes like that, dab it on like aftershave. Look directly into the imaginary fourth wall and say, “Fresh.”

@nightmaremodego.bsky.social As far as I understand, you don’t actually have to be correct to pass, you just have to pick the answers most people pick. E.g. if you exhaustively click every square that has even 1 pixel of motorbike in it, you’ll be technically correct but still fail because most folk don’t. It’s really annoying.
@sinclairresearch.bsky.social If you write the wrong data to the border port, you might just get an unintentional, unreproducible, occasionally alarming fart.
@chrisg.com This is cool, thanks!
@samcoupe.com 👏👏👏
@robmanuel.b3ta.com Oh that’s so familiar. Not “Bug!” (pictured) but something like that.
@flatduckrecords.co.uk I can certainly “sea” why it would!
@fuzzweed.co.uk Four candles? No, handles for cats.
@morefunmakingit.bsky.social Ignore the error and have a look in the Rules channel.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Well I don’t really have plans anyway but thanks!
@fuzzweed.co.uk Hahah, yes thanks. I never said anything it was Zombie Dave.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Nrr, rrrvrr-rrwrr thrrrrk rrrtz rrr lrrrrd rrrrv rrrrrld shrrrrrrt.
@breakintoprogram.co.uk Ooh yeah that’s good, heheh!
@breakintoprogram.co.uk D’oh! I can sympathise with that. 😩
@breakintoprogram.co.uk Ah, I see thanks. Well congrats on passing all the tests, that great. Now for the really hard problem though: what are you going to name your emulator??
@breakintoprogram.co.uk I understand that Joffa liked to use R (the top bit doesn’t get incremented automatically?) as a flag, I think he used it to track whether the frame interrupt had fired yet. Pretty cool! I know some loaders balk if R isn’t the value they expect though! Was that the issue?
@breakintoprogram.co.uk This is coming really together! So that means Interface 1 and Microdrive support next …yeah? 😅
@flatduckrecords.co.uk SAM Coupé inherits this architecture as well. And although SAM’s ROM supports the “N” network as a device for LOADing and SAVEing it doesn’t really have a Net channel that we can use with BASIC streams. So I wrote one!
@flatduckrecords.co.uk I stripped em out because I was only planning to use it with PlusD disks, but it’s a bit awkward for folk to have to convert from tape to disk first. (ZXBlockeditor is quite good at that, though).
@breakintoprogram.co.uk PZX might be interesting to you?
