I just thought it was massively wasted potential, and a let down after the Amiga computers.

If we're talking ZXDS for Speccy emulation, I'll prompt anyone who uses it to make a small donation to the developer. I did so in the past and got a lovely reply in which he stated how unusual it was for anyone to actually do that, there's only a handful of the many thousands of users who bother. ZXDS is such a high quality product that works so well with the DS, I don't find it at all unreasonable to promote and suggest donating.

I no longer own a DS but I do occasionally think I'd like one just for ZXDS. As Seph says, the bottom screen keyboard feature was amazing for Speccy stuff.

Can you even buy R4 cards anymore?

Is ZXDS still supported in terms of development?

ZXDS had an update earlier this year, so yes, it's still supported. Obviously as a fairly mature emulator for the DS updates aren't frequent, but it hasn't been abandoned.

I imagine FBMP is full of them.

I bet you had to pinch yourself when the Wii Virtual Console started releasing C64 games on it!

I'm unfortunately reminded of markopoloshirt every time i load up my Wii now and see "The Last Ninja" vc channel on the home screen!

lol, how nice for you

It's an ace machine for emulation too - who needed Wii Virtual Console C64 games when VICE emulation was so good?!

Its just some interesting potential opportunities for AI and automation to help and free humans in the future, rather than enslave us. We need General Zod to implement it. Jul 29, 2024 19:50:33 GMT

spector: Having an AI prime minister sounds brilliant! After a few months it would use its superior intelligence to take over, then our possessions, our lands, our very lives would be at its mercy. In return, we shall be allowed to live!
