Before Christmas I received my shiny new #SpectrumNext and I am really looking forward to streaming it this week over on #Twitch. We'll look at the software produced for it, and other things it can do too (including classic #ZXSpectrum games) over the course of Monday and Thursday night's streams at 8pm GMT over at https://twitch.tv/NAG_Graham - so come over and say hello!
Has anyone seen Way Of The Exploding Fist on the ZX Spectrum Next yet? I was able to try out the playable demo at Crash Live 2023 last weekend. It's a fantastic version of the classic Speccy game & plays really well. KS1 backers get a free download too when it releases on Dec 1st. Game available from https://wearespectrumprogrammers.com/ .. (Pic of me playing it at Crash Live was clipped from Spectrum Nez's YouTube video: https://youtu.be/LIWKy6kCrLg )
Been looking for Spectrum Next Mastodon content & not having much luck with the #ZXSpectrumNext & #SpectrumNext hashtags. If anyone can point me in the direction of accounts or hashtags, give me a shout .. cheers. 🙂👍
Seems the Spectrum Next computers will ship in November.
I don’t want it anymore. Will sell unopened for what I paid. £335. UK shipping included. Spec:
ZX Spectrum Next Accelerated
ZX Spectrum Next computer, with 1Mb RAM, RGB/VGA/HDMI out, 7/14/28Mhz Turbo modes, accelerator port, SD card, PSU, Printed Manual, Wi-Fi module, Real Time Clock and an Accelerator board installed.
The XBerry-Pi doesn't look like a ZX Spectrum at all, but it's the new ZX Spectrum Next-compatible creation by Don Superfo. If it does anything analogous to what the Superfo Harlequin 128, it's going to be amazing. Hopefully the strange branding decision won't detract from it.
It is 3AM and I can’t sleep because my mind is gripped with an idea it can’t leave alone so I need to think out loud to make it go away.
Part of me is sick of the current state of computing and wants to go live under a rock but it has to be a rock with a minimal amount of computing power to do something practical and productive.
There are a number of single-board / nu-retro computers out there and I’m wondering what would be my ideal OS / environment for one of these
The #MEGA65 and #spectrumNext are limited production runs AND expensive. The Commander X16 will also fall into this category when it arrrives. The #Foenix256 is much of the same IIUC.
The #AgonLight is cheap, always available and does just enough to be useful and whilst there are other SBCs the #eZ80 in the Agon solves the problem of having 8-bit simplicity without a 64KB limit or painful memory banking. A native 24-bit address-space greatly simplifies OS/app development.
Packed with a truly impressive changelog replete with new features, improvements, and fixes! I don't know how they do it! They must be a hundred Lemmings hacking all night and day at their virtual rubber keyboards! 🤣
Make sure you check out the astounding changelog on the release page.
I'm not affiliated with the projects and this is only intended to be of help for people who are looking to get their hands on these elusive and much sought-after pieces of art and engineering.
It's FPGA-based and capable of integrating the ZX Spectrum Next core, as well as a the cores of a number of other retro machines. https://wiki.specnext.dev/ZX-DOS
Antonio Villena made the previous model called ZX-UNO which was a cased computer you could use with a PS/2 keyboard attached. ZX-DOS is its successor, and gomaDOS+ is this edition of a ZX-DOS computer fitted into a ZX Spectrum classic form factor.
