New Update is live!

A little update of my Spectrum Next project...

The initial steps of a 3D engine for the ZX Spectrum Next!!!

We're about to shatter the £2M mark! The backers' support has been phenomenal! www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

Clive Townsend, of Saboteur fame, has curated a list of most of the games that have been made for the ZX Spectrum Next. And there are many gems here, check it out: www.clivetownsend.com/next/index.php

Yep. It’s CPC! Let’s go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

I just backed ZX Spectrum Next Issue 3 on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

...let's see what else the future holds!

That’s right. We broke Kickstarter! 🤣🤣🤣

The one in which I talk about the success of the ZX Spectrum Next Issue 3 Kickstarter and what's around the corner.

£ 1.5mil. UNLOCKED!

£14,010 pounds away from £1.5million!

Look at these numbers 0.5 0.19 0.123 0.1648 0.12345 0.747747 0.1234321 0.12345678 All are inaccurate on the standard ZX Spectrum. For the true floating point form print the number with a divisor. e.g. 12345/100000 has mantissa 7CD35A85 not 7CD35A84 as used in the Spectrum. I fixed it for ya! 🙂

And don’t forget Gosh Wonderful as well as Looking Glass ROMs by the ever amazing @warmtoffee.bsky.social are included with each ZX Spectrum Next!

Le ZX Spectrum Next @specnext.com lance sa troisième (et sans doute dernière) campagne Kickstarter pour une nouvelle version qui émule cette fois aussi le Commodore 64... mag.mo5.com/272466/le-zx...

👨‍💻 It’s been exciting to watch the @specnext.com Issue 3 ramp up to big numbers over on @kickstarter.com. I’m reminded to check in every now and then, such as with this short interview 👇 It’s rocking in just shy of £1.5million as I type. Amaze! 🤩 🎮 #VideoGames 🕹️ #RetroGaming #RetroComputing ⌨️

The Gosh Wonderful ZX Spectrum ROM V1.40 is available for download along with a useful BASIC program “peeker” that I use to peek under the hood. It uses 3 routines by Steve Vickers written for other Z80 computers back in the 80s. They achieve total accuracy. speccy4ever.speccy.org/_CMS.htm

Don't forget to show your love to our good friends at Commodore International Corporation www.commodore-international.com and their C64 relaunch. We both take our 8-bit dreams very seriously!

Funded in about 7 mins and 10 seconds! Next fans are just awesome! Thank you!!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

Here's Your Third (And Probably Final) Chance To Own A ZX Spectrum Next. (Image: @ZXSpectrumNext) (Repost)

We're at London Gaming Market! www.londongamingmarket.com

QL Next core update: Mode 16 has been updated to match the Thor palette bringing even more compatibility. On other news, Tobias' FAT32 driver is working quite well in R and W mode. Only thing missing is the XTcc-compatible dataspace implementation and bye-bye container files!

In between running a studio and SpecNext @olifiers.bsky.social puts his maker hat on and finds some time for some fancy eye candy (Should we make these available on specnext.com?) #zxspectrumnext #retrocomputing #lapelpins
