Andesite, our ZX Spectrum Next emulator, has been getting an accuracy pass. The latest work brings compatibility with more demanding Next software. Here's Atic Atac for the Next running on Andesite. #ZXSpectrumNext #Emulation

I have decided to go into production with the 1/144 scale airliner steps I designed for my Comet 4 model. So, having tidied up the supports for a more reliable print, they are now available ready-printed from Pater's Shed: patersshed.com/products/res...

So what's better than an Atari running a Space Shuttle simulator? Well, obviously, two Atari running Space Shuttle simulators! Come and see me fail to land either of them in a months time :) www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/77371/re...

This is quite the list… 😬

Still a little way to go, but I've added a bit of light weathering on my Airfix WWI fire engine - and I've finally finished the video for the remotely controlled lighting and sound effects: youtu.be/DxHClpoQMJc

Still a bit blown away to see copies of ‘Hookland Fragments’ in the wild. Here is a signed copy available from @treadwells-books.bsky.social

Those fuckers at Meta have used this without permission to train their AI, and as it's self-published they've essentially stolen from me directly. So if you could see your way to spending a couple of quid on a legitimate copy, I'd be extremely grateful... timworthington.org/books/the-ca...

Might as well faithfully emulate an OZ-750 (though mine is a ZQ-770) so I have a good reference for my own faster, better, greyscale simulator:

I've started actually writing up the last of my #retrocomputing sound adventures on the #ZXSpectrum, with lots of charts of ostensibly-square waves. Looks icky, but I can't argue with the results! The digital sample playback stuff will be next week. bumbershootsoft.wordpress.com/2026/09/19/u...

This looks great for specy users

Honor Blackman and Richard Burton are surprisingly a bit bland as the centre of the film, but otherwise the film is a really pleasing 75 minutes. A community under threat, a parodic response, thumbing its nose at bureaucracy and government, in the post-War English way. Fun.

The Demon Jar (2026) by Alan Pemberton for ZX Spectrum. A Victorian text adventure built like a horror short story. You play Oswald Stanley, visiting an old friend on a fine summer's evening. Then the evil spirit arrives. 🎁 qladventures.itch.io/the-demon-jar #homebrew #zxspectrum #thedemonjar

(1964) Mississippi John Hurt recorded "Do Lord Remember Me" in Washington D.C. for the Library of Congress. Many artists have found w!ys to pay tribute to him including The Lovin Spoonful, Tom Paxton, and John Fahey. 👇👇Link for more info in comments. youtu.be/suoadq0TqPA?...

Okay, I may have gone a bit overboard in creating what was supposed to be a simple SONAR vs. VL53L4CD ToF distance sensor demo program! 🤣 The LCD is just too much fun to play with! 😁 Get the VL53L4CD example programs here: github.com/mirobotech/B...

One step closer to launching my very first official Pater Practicus Product.

The Curse of Rabenstein (2025) by Stefan Vogt for Sinclair QL. Lost in the Black Forest, your coachman vanishes and the night closes in. A modern graphic adventure that nods to Level 9 classics. 🎁 8bitgames.itch.io/rabenstein #homebrew #sinclairql #retro #game #thecurseofrabenstein

I consider ‘Days and Nights in the Forest’ not only Satyajit Ray’s masterpiece, but one of the greatest films ever made. I’ve been waiting decades for a restoration – and if you don’t know the film, or have only seen it in one of those ghastly YouTube transfers, I urge you to seek it out. ⬇️

Well, with a bit of time on my hands, I finally did one of those lists of 100 great films: letterboxd.com/rayray67/lis...

Working on Gameboy support next (will also look at how Gameboy color works later). Pixel Lab hewco.itch.io/8bit-pixel-lab In other news, TRSE is now Pixel Lab aware with integration for editing projects from the IDE.

I've been experimenting with a new synth I designed. You can control it with your hands using Open CV ( see my had in the bottom right corner). It's very interesting this. To stop patch cables getting put in the wrong place I implemented the key Z to grab or place them and to action moving a knob

The Spectrum +2 was actually an Amstrad product. Grey case, built-in tape deck, proper keyboard. Functional but soulless. Like a cover band.

Well, this is awkward. I was sat with my completed game for 5 days before releasing it. And a couple of hours before releasing, I decided to delete an essential RANDOMIZE command. Which ruins it. So this is the REAL file! Sorry!! saucerbrain.itch.io/silk-road-tr...

It is fairly slow-paced mystery, but it is mostly backstage of the theatre, which provides the enjoyment. A great setting for a mystery. It has a good cast: Dale Robertson, Lois Maxwell, Derek Bond, Eric Pohlmann and Lionel Jeffries, and a mystery that I didn't solve. A fun, albeit slow, B-movie.

I've been learning the guitar for a few months now. Love this guy's videos on rockabilly guitar, just got his dvd and even I can play some of it, nice style of tutoring damianbacci.com/product/7621...
