Three Arduinos Team Up To Make 80s-Style Computer

Back in the 80s, buying a home computer could easily mean an inflation-adjusted cost of thousands of dollars (or your equivalent currency unit of choice), and all for an 8-bit machine that might no…

Finally got an electric car! 😀

Silencing free speech kills democracy. They’re trying!

We cannot allow conservative media companies with a disinformation agenda like Sinclair and Nexstar to dominate our public discourse. #EndSinclair #EndNexstar

Brendan Carr continues to threaten media, wanting only “positive” coverage of Trump’s idiotic forever war.

Silencing free speech kills democracy.

Since Republicans won't remove Trump, we must keep pressure on “fixer” Brendan Carr.

¡Nueva versión del excelente emulador de Sinclair ZX Spectrum Spectaculator para Windows (v9.1) ya disponible! También para Android (v2.6).

Incluye nuevas características, mejorando y corrigiendo otras, respecto de su versión anterior.

Comparto aquí muchas de sus nuevas virtudes:

Virtual Keyboard
===============

- Completely redesigned virtual keyboard using high-resolution PNG artwork for the 48K, 128K/+, keyboard layouts, replacing the previous low resolution BMP images.

- Fixed an issue where the virtual keyboard was not visible.

- Virtual keyboard key states are now reset when the computer is reset.

Screenshots
=============

- Screenshots can now be saved or copied to the clipboard at various sizes, with configurable scale factor and optional border, all driven from the Advanced preferences page.

- Added support for PNG screenshots, which is now the default format; BMP is still supported for compatibility with older applications.

- Added a Save Screenshot (F4) to the File menu that saves a screenshot directly to disk using the configured size and border settings. Repeated captures for the same program title produce an auto-incrementing sequence number.

Joysticks & Controllers
=======================

- Fixed a buffer overflow caused when certain controllers (flight sticks) report more than the hard limit of 32 buttons; unusable axes are now hidden and unmappable buttons are marked N/A.

- Added named button labels for The Quickshot II, and X52 H.O.T.A.S., replacing generic button numbers.

- Removed legacy UV-axis support that predated USB joystick POV hat support.

- Removed the default Up/Down/Left/Right mappings from the Right Stick, which conflicted with the X52 2nd Stage Trigger; analogue thresholds have been tuned.

Debugger
==========

- Added Fill Memory — fill any block of memory with a specified value.

- Added Export Memory — export a region of memory to a file.

- Added Edit → Paste File Contents to import binary data directly into memory.

- Added Undo support to the Memory Inspector. Memory Inspector now remembers its last-viewed address across restarts.

- Added a recent files list to the debugger for debugger projects.

Son muchas las incorporaciones que figuran en la versión 9.1 del emulador para los poseedores de Windows.
