I have some time on my hands so I've been working on a small project. This is a bunch of C# libraries which will help me port Spectrum games onto a modern platform. In this case I'm trying it on Godot using my old C# version of Pyjamarama. A lot of the work has already been done by me previously, but the original project wasn't very portable. So with a more modern approach in design I'm hoping this will make any games I've disassembled easier to port onto the PC. Swing by to https://sourceforge.net/projects/zxsim/ if you are interested.

ZxSim

Download ZxSim for free. API (C#) for simulating certain aspects of a ZX spectrum for porting. . Initially this project is a showcase of my abilities to write code using C# and DotNet libraries, along with Design Patterns and SOLID techniques. The project itself is a bunch of libraries that make porting Spectrum games easier using C#.

SourceForge
@iSabreman #Pyjamarama would be the easiest, as I already have a working c# version of the game. I'd like to expand it to cope with the other games, such as Three Weeks and Wally. #zxspectrum

I'm contemplating my next 'retro' project, as I've not really done much in this area since #Nectar. So I'd appreciate #retrogaming fans opinions and vote on one of the following:
