More chip info for North America
As of today I have shipped out a total of 30 chips ( enough for 15 machines).
As a clarification for everyone. In order to best benefit the community, Zeb is handling Europe including the U.K. while I am handling North America. Beyond that we will figure out what is likely to be best. (I have sent chips to New Zealand and Brazil). As for the huge imbalance in numbers, remember that the ZX Spectrum was pretty much unavailable in the US. Here's hoping that there will be enough 2MB machines to.make it worthwhile to take advantage of. ... See MoreSee Less

Hi all I'm using Cspect and i'm trying to double buffer the LoRes screen using the MMU.
I'm using bank 10-11 for my back screen and i'm using 14-15 for my front screen.
I have a flip function that flips the variables for my front and back screen and a line interrupt at line 1 that changes the registers $52 and $53 to these values using the nextreg instruction.
But they always point to the same screen ram. I've got the Layer2 screens working after I found out there was a difference between SRam and MMU ram indexing lol, but LoRes is driving me nuts.
Is there something i'm missing in switching LoRes MMU banks?

Cheers

Work in progress of my Q-bert's remake for Next. I'm currently using the original arcade graphics to program the basic functionality. A lot needs to be done yet ( enemies, disc activations, new graphics... ) but will be included more enemy types, bonuses and power ups to make it more fun and addictive!!!
Any suggestions and ideas are welcome ;) ... See MoreSee Less
