Re: Block save / load

so if you feel like going back in time and typing in the HEX code (oh those were the days!) you're very welcome to. I had typed up this program a few years ago for submission to the Type Fantastic website but found the program didn't work when I tested it. The hex byte listing on the second page wa...

Re: New release of EightyOne available

The program "ShowSCR" no longer works in 1.21, it does work in 1.18. The upper third of the image is distorted, maybe something to do with the Spectrum display format. Running on WIN7 64Bit. I've still not been able to reproduce this. What hardware settings do you have? You could try deleting the e...

Re: ZX81 ROMs 3 types?

I have asked the seller. Hopefully they will get back to me. Was thinking to do the same but don't want to flood them with such queries so will will wait to hear if they respond to you. Looks like they are Sinclair fans? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ZX80-ROM-ADAPTER-Module-with-4-ROM-images-does-not-...
