Re: New release of EightyOne available
Yay, a new version! As one can see in the Release history.txt, it's a biggy. Excited to see that so many other language ROMs are supported out of the (drop down) box, with matching keyboards! Did you know you can double click on a keyboard to double its size? I didn't know until 2 weeks ago :lol: Th...

Re: New release of EightyOne available
Not only Sinclair Egypt (actually the Matisco Trading & Inv. Co. of Cairo) but also Beckman in Sweden used this technique. The switch looks nicer though, it can be reached from the edge connector hole. Oh, ok. So switch from standard English 48K BASIC to Swedish 48K BASIC? Yes, it switches between ...

Re: New release of EightyOne available
I see. So it literally has two ROMs soldered on top of each other! So you could have it function as per a standard UK Spectrum (48 or 128 depending on model), or use the switch and have 48 mode only but in Arabic? And the +3 has 48 and 128 mode in Arabic. Hitting the nail on the head, sir! Not only...

Re: New release of EightyOne available
Adding an Investrónica tab would be a great idea! Perhaps not everybody knows that the Spanish 128 would be listed a such though. The boxes for these 3 machines can be seen on my site and they clearly state the Investrónica name. Should there be a tab for the Microdigital unauthorized clone machines...

Re: New release of EightyOne available
Oh Paul, on the subject of dumping roms - I have this Arabic +3 of which the roms aren't dumped yet! Would there be a means of saving the contents to tape/disk, possibly after a bit of peeking, poking or using OUT as I don't have a rom programmer/reader? The Arabic +3 is the only machine that doesn'...

Re: New release of EightyOne available
Well, that was surprisingly easy! Just let your plane crash and the program just stops! I've beaten the 40 year old copy protection! 🤣 https://www.sinclaircollection.site/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/09-7004.png What would be the best to do? Save line 1 to tape or do I need to peek and poke something?...

Re: New release of EightyOne available
Hi Paul! No, they are not identical: the Sinclair one has the standard Sinclair 1982 copyright message, whereas the Inves one obviously doesn't as it isn't a Sinclair! The Argentinian Czerweny CZ Spectrum Plus also has this Inves ROM, and keyboard! Makes you wonder how they sourced it ;) https://www...

Re: New release of EightyOne available
I see that when I choose the ZX81 with Timex ROM cartridge, it already shows 3 cartridges available. When I run it, these cartridges do not start unless one runs RUN USR 8192 or change the machine ROM to TS1500.ROM - then it starts automatically. But the drop-down box for the ZX81 roms only lists th...

Re: New release of EightyOne available
The Spanish keyboard layout help screen of the Spanish Spectrum 128 introduced in 1.35 is also applicable to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum with Spanish EPROM and the Inves Spectrum+. All 3 were made by Investrónica by the way. https://www.sinclaircollection.site/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/128-ESPANA-1.jp...
