Sinclair ZX Spectrum - How I Built My Own (and You Can Too)
The Sinclair ZX Spectrum was the first computer I ever owned. It wasn't the best around, it didn't have great graphics, and the sound was awful. What it did have though was incredible support from developers who squeezed everything imaginable from this low cost computer that took the UK by storm. The result was some of the best games ever. Games that I still look forward to playing to this day. However, I get increasingly worried about how much longer my aging ZX Spectrum is likely to last, so in this video I'll show you what I did to create a machine that was as close to replicating the experience and fun of the original Sinclair ZX Spectrum, without resorting to paying the exorbitant prices of things like the ZX Spectrum Next.

MuOS for the Anbernic RG35XX - Better than GarlicOS?

    If 8BitDo could create a middleman controller between the lite and lite 2 that has the design of the Lite (super flat, trigger buttons in line with shoulder buttons) and instead of D-pads for sticks, they use something similar to the sliding Nintendo 3DS analog stick, or even a touch pad, then it'd be PERFECT. Still ridiculously flat and portable, but with no parts sticking up to catch on things as you slide it into your pocket.

    why would you like to program an S button just to be another "x" button? You already have that. Can you program it to be a new button? Just to be a "quick save" or "quick load" button, for example, or fast forward.

      Normally you reset the ZX Spectrum or switch the power off and on again. Later models after the rubber-keyed wonder had that reset switch. Restarting the ZX Spectrum only takes seconds for the RAM check (IIRC).

    This might be the very first controller That was meant for people with limited mobility that really impressed me. That's for saying there wasn't other impressive controllers in the past. But the playstation and the xbox never came With a control that was meant for people with limited mobility That had all functionality already on the controller The only thing missing is probably motion controls.

  • @christianreuschle2872
    @christianreuschle2872 Před 5 měsíci

    Nice Video. Thank you very much. I appreciate very much to see how the Lite has evolved. As for the audience for the Lite 2, maybe I can shed some ligh (at least in my case): I found myself looking for EXACTLY that controller. I was looking for something "cheap" but still qualitatively good, which has Bluetooth. The Lite 2 has that, as the other controllers that are larger are also more expensive (granted, the SN30 is only 10 bugs more, but still). It also has great battey time (2 hours charge, 10 hours play, that's not bad). I use it to play games on my kids Amazon Fire 8 (hence it needed to have BT). For now. In time, I want to show my kid one or the other game, so he can play too. Bringing me to my next point. The Lite 2 fits smaller but also larger hands, so kids as well as adults can play with it. The Micro as well as the Zero 2 are way too small. With them, maybe my kid could have played. But I? Not likely, at least not comfortably. So there is a user base for the Lite 2, and also if it's not suited optimally for travelling, it makes a great first game pad. For easy gaming, on a small screen, for not much money, you get a great game pad. And for the foreseeable future this will the pad that I and my kid will play with on the Fire 8 (by the way, hooking it up to the Fire 8 per BT was as easy as it gets). /Chris
