If 'my' weekend goes to plan, I might well be building the last ever batch of divMMC Futures! #ZXSpectrum #Speccy #Sinclair #WithAFunctionalM1SignalObvs.

The div might come back after this batch.. but with the world as it is.. probably not.. maybe.

New blog post - Finally fixing the VIC20 game Tornado.

This is a nice VIC20 game, but a lot of the time, it would lock up as soon as it started.
I have finally got to the bottom of why this happens, and the version on the Penultimate +3 now always works.
