ZX81 Stuff Updated

Post by RWAP »

Simon has now updated his ZX81 Stuff website - as part of this the tape downloads now work again and the java emulator has also been updated so it now works in javascript and should work on more devices :) http://www.zx81stuff.org.uk/

Thanks! I put quite a bit of effort into learning php, Javascript and CSS to get the site looking and working how I wanted, and to make it accessible to mobile devices.

I'm very pleased with the emulator conversion to JavaScript and the touch-screen keyboard (took about 8 hours of pixel editing to get it looking good :o) On an iPad when zoomed to full width the keyboard is almost exactly the same size as the original, and with the same complete lack of tactile feedback :) Would have been nice for the emulator to run at 100% but 80% ish is the best I could get out of it on an iPad. I've tried it on some android phones and they quite happily run the emulator at full speed (albeit a little tiny).

Cheers, Simon

Thanks. I've just posted an update with an additional 30 tapes added/updated and a few fixes to the listing app and emulator.

Hi, Simon.
The new look of the pages is great! Congratulations, good job!

P.S. The page dedicated to the program Video-AD (this here) seems to have some problem. Does not show previews and are not seen the images.
