Many are interesting but mundane, but the subject of their latest video is far from that. The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge, UK, receive many donations from which they can enrich their collection and museum displays.

Posted in FPGA, Retrocomputing Tagged fpga, sinclair spectrum, video, ZX Spectrum So if you have a Spectrum and are annoyed by UHF and PAL, perhaps itвЂ™s worth a look. If you think perhaps it looks a little familiar, thatвЂ™s because itвЂ™s the sister project of an earlier board for the Commodore 64. There are a couple of jumpers to select the output type and resolution, it supports YPbPr or RGsB outputs and both 288p and 576p. The Altera chip sits on a little PCB designed to occupy the footprint of the original Astec modulator, and sports a neat bundle of wires hooked up to the various Spectrum signals it needs.

And this isnвЂ™t a mod in which the signals are lifted from the SpectrumвЂ™s colour encoder circuitry, instead it uses an FPGA hooked directly to the ULA chip to generate the component video itself.

The cable would have been an RF connection to the TV antenna socket, and the picture quality? At the time we thought it was amazing because we didnвЂ™t know any different, but with the benefit of nearly 40 yearsвЂ™ hindsight, it was awful.ДЇor ZX Spectrum owners in 2020 a standard modification is to bring out a composite video signal, but has gone a step or two beyond that with a component video interface.

While the kids in the computer adverts had parents who bought them a portable colour telly on which to play Jet Set Willy, the average kid had used up all the Christmas present money on the computer itself. Posted in Retrocomputing Tagged game development, rom, sinclair spectrum, Sinclair Zx Spectrum, ZX SpectrumДЄn abiding memory of the early-80s heyday of 8-bit computing for many is operating their computer from the carpet in front of the family TV. If youвЂ™re new to all this Spectrum stuff and where its ROM came from, then maybe itвЂ™s time for a trip down memory lane. YouвЂ™ll need your own EPROM on which to burn it, but we suspect that if youвЂ™re the kind of person who has a Spectrum and has writing these games in mind, you already have access to the relevant equipment.

It builds upon his past work with his Arcade Game Designer, with the distribution by ROM allowing the developer to use the full 48k available on all but a very few early 16k machines. If youвЂ™re a Spectrum enthusiast and think this sounds a little familiar then you are of course correct.

#FPGA SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM HDMI CODE#

ItвЂ™s the ROM you wanted back in 1983, when you were struggling to fit a bit of Z80 code in a Sinclair Basic REM statement. ItвЂ™s something has addressed with his Arcade Game Designer ROM, a complete and ready to run replacement for the original Spectrum ROM that contains a scripting language, a compiler, editors for in-game assets, and a game engine upon which to run your games. The SInclair ZX spectrumвЂ™s ROM for example had more than its fair share of bugs, and its BASIC programming experience with single keypress was unique but also slow to run. Thus even some of the most fondly remembered Sinclair products concealed significant flaws, and this extended to both their hardware and their software. This gave us some impressive products, but itвЂ™s fair to say that sometimes this philosophy pushed the envelope a little too far. Speccy2010 is an EP2C8Q208C8N FPGA development board built for the implementation of various gaming computers (but originally focused on ZX Spectrum and its clones).If there is one thing that Sir Clive SInclair was famous for, it was producing electronic devices that somehow managed to squeeze near-impossible performance out of relatively meagre components.
