Re: Mechanical keyboard?

I think the case design would make it easy for a PCB to be made. You would need the 6 screw hole mounts that connects the keyboard to the case.

On the z88 the keyboard is basically also the front of the case.

Re: Mechanical keyboard?

It would be cool, and very possible.

The z88 isn't that dissimilar from a spectrum to my mind.

I think the keyboard is good already though. I mean, I used it to type on in anger, and it is perfectly reasonable.

Re: Z88 LCD panel

Fair point.

I think the future is in a FPGA device that can connect to a modern LCD option. Possibly with a bigger resolution using OZ5 - bigger resolution is one of the aims of that project.

Re: Royal Game of UR - Now with UDG!!

OK, I think I've finished with this! The enhancements include: - UDG - Use of windows - Game area is greyed out when options menu is active - Basic sound effects! https://gitlab.com/JB1zzel1/royal-game-of-ur-z88/-/raw/main/Captureur1.PNG https://gitlab.com/JB1zzel1/royal-game-of-ur-z88/-/raw/main/Ca...

Re: Z88 LCD panel

Hi guys, I gave that a go, and tbh it was already set perfectly.

There isn't really much of a problem, because at normal contrast the z88 looks great. Just curious why the contrast is so unbalanced at lower contrast levels. Something that has present on 2 separate screens!

We may never know! :)

Re: Transfer files to Z88

Yes! The info on that link is correct.

I have made many adapters from those instructions ;)
