The ZX Spectrum Next forum

I think they will probably wait until after Monday as there may be a photo op on Monday. I guess it depends on how much material Mike already has.

I don't have permission to post a new topic here but some time ago update 52 came out:

A KS update has just come out. The first 1000 keyboards and cases are being air shipped to the UK to get the assembly running as soon as possible. It is hoped that this means the first nexts will be shipped before Christmas. The assembly process can only put out x units per week as it's too expensiv...

The interface to the accelerator board from the Z80 side is only UART (however, it seems that the state of GPIO pin can be known by the extended CPU instruction). It seems that the communication between the app called “NextPi” and Z80 is limited to the exchange of messages through the serial port o...

Now I know which game it is :) Just FYI, in case you aren't aware: SNA is considered legacy by nextzxos so it will put VGA modes into 48k or 128k timing depending on the size of the SNA. It will also turn on contention and the z80-dma compatibility mode (dma transfers will be one byte more). Of cour...

Here is the one I use currently and is set up for VGA without esxdos which you can edit / compare to the one you currently have. Remember this file has now been moved to the machines/next directory. scandoubler=1 50_60hz=0 timex=1 psgmode=1 intsnd=1 stereomode=0 turbosound=1 covox=1 divmmc=0 mf=0 jo...

The video shows a terminal program running on the next connected to a bash terminal on the pi. Commands are sent to the pi, in this case to play various audio formats (sid, mp3, etc), the pi generates the audio and sends it back to the next via a stereo i2s interface. The digital audio sent by the p...

So that the forum is not left out of the goings-on on facebook. This is a look at the initial testing of CPM 3.0 as incorporated into NextZXOS. It's a facebook video which should be publicly viewable. https://www.facebook.com/warlord.management/videos/1440000366152389/ 60.5K TPA Up to 80x32 text res...

The clipping approach has an issue: if the game have some rooms without picture, then the whole screen is used for text, and my code won't be called so I cannot remove the clipping area in ULA layer, what would lead to see half screen in black. So you can't clip the ula below the layer 2 area when ...

You can't disable transparency but you can do something else. I see that there is nothing behind either layer 2 or the ula. So you could do something like make the transparent colour black and then make the fallback colour black as well. If nothing puts a pixel someplace (maybe all layers are clippe...
