Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 Forums

how would it be able to be fixed? C? Python? The emulator code is written in a mix of C and C++ using the Borland Builder 5 development environment, which runs best under Windows XP (although I did get it working under Windows 7). The source is available on SourceForge alongside the executable dist...

will there ever be support for the QL. the option is on there but the rom is nonexistent It doesn't look like the QL code was ever finished and so I suspect it has never worked. I was tempted to disable it in the Hardware options but left it visible as a prompt in case someone would like to have a ...

EightyOne v1.14 is now available from SourceForge . This is a fairly small release that primarily resolves the defects that crept in with v1.13, but it also fixes a number of other minor bugs and includes a few enhancements, most notably to the Debugger's Profiler facility. See the Release history.t...

Ah, sorry. I was mixing up Damper with Glooper! I see what you mean about the yellow colour clash with the blue. Setting the everything to blue or all to yellow does make the game look very monochrome and dull, so I think I agree with you that the colour clash is the better approach.

Hi Kelly You have been busy! The thumbnail screenshots look great, like they were designed with colour in mind!! :) I look forward to trying them out on real hardware, and will definitely be linking to them from my website. In the game Glooper the result was not perfect, but this is a good price to ...

Speed settings of 1X, 16X and 32X all take about 6 sec. to fill the screen. Strange. I see a clear difference filling the screen like that, at least up to 4x. Beyond that it is still rapid but looks similar to 4x. Whenever I'm typing in a program I always crank the speed up to 4x or 8x (beyond that...

Ah, I see. The game implementation is lacking, rather than bugs. Although ZX80 BASIC is more primitive than ZX81 BASIC, it ought to be possible to runs a decent simulation that is similar to Football Manager (or perhaps even a port of it...). Mike also wrote two other large ZX80 programs - Streets o...

Line 5. After Gosport in the listing. Thanks. Oh yeah, I see the problem now! I typed the game into the EightyOne emulator a few years back. The latest release of EightyOne would make the job a lot easier now because the listing could be typed into Notepad (or some other text editor) and then read ...

unfortunately who ever did the typing omitted one single space in the program listing which causes you to go through an entire season only to play your own team on the final game then kerash! Oops, sorry! :oops: Do you recall which line? Have you submitted an updated version back to the Type Fantas...

Just curious, does the speed option in the menu actually do anything?

I've always found this does make an impact. You don't see any speed improvement at all?
