Fancy a late Friday night emulator bug? Implementing a softer zoom animation, but errors ensued and I can't find the culprit. Happy with progress, though!

(PS: still nice FPS!)

I was thinking that... it doesn't really matter much if my emulator prototype is only a garbage software-only emulator for now. in some years from now you will be able to run it on a MCU at high clock speeds, performing with very high precision that will make any pin signal differences impossible to tell apart from the real hardware ones (assuming you implement all legacy bugs too!).

All retro 8-bit and 16-bit hardware emulated as software on future MCUs will make FPGAs redundant for this particular purpose at least.

In the end it doesn't even matter.

Probably not useful for much, but I want to see what it would look/feel like to keep many spectrum screens arranged in a 3d space. The 3d model of a speccy may not fulfill a real function, but maybe it can work as a sort of icon to select the virtual keyboard, or as a 3d view of the virtual keyboard on which you can tap keystrokes. I still don't know what it's going to look like, this is highly experimental.

This still doesn't look right and I don't know where I'm going yet, but that's part of the fun I suppose.
