I asked him how he did it on Youtube & he said: "Speech is synthesized from subphonemes." ... "At all, there are 23 256-byte subphoneme waveforms, along with other 34 256-byte waveforms for instruments, that are well-packed." www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OKO...

This is an amazing bit of coding on the ZX Spectrum. 12.5k, but does need 48k to run.

I’ve finally been able to get hands on one of Paul Farrow’s ZXC4 ROM cartridges for the ZX Spectrum.

This is an incredible finding. If reproduced could bring big health benefits. Am wondering if big cycling nations have lower Alzheimers and dementia.
Urban Truth Collective@urbantruth.bsky.social · 2mo ago“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), & a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.” Connecting bike-riding with reduced dementia risk. #UrbanTruth
This time next week I’ll be sending FREEZE‑ZX Issue 03 to print — the long‑awaited next chapter is nearly here. You can preorder your copy today from: freeze64.com/freeze-zx-is... Issue 02 sold out fast, so grab No.03 while you can. #ZXSpectrum #Z80 #Speccy #SinclairSpectrum
Who needs a fancy PlayStation or XBox when you can play Kill The Bit on your #RC2014 Orton 3C instead. All 28 bytes were toggled in by hand.
I’ve been using a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 to spy on my #RC2014 Orton 3C’s data bus. At the moment this just displays the hex value it can currently see. This means I can make sure the values I’ve toggled in are correct without having to mentally convert from binary.
Happy Valentines Day! Here’s a little program for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum to plot a heart on screen.
My #RC2014 Orton 3C computer is up and running. This is a really low level Z80 computer that you program using the switches on the front panel. In this case, I’m calling a ROM routine that reads the switches on the left, displays them on the LEDs, then rotates them left.
@peteronion.bsky.social is it too early to ask if you are organising another RC2014 Assembly this year? I really enjoyed the one last year and I would love to attend again.
Excellent article by #Eastbourne consultant orthopaedic surgeon @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social. She's the person on the cycle below. She highlights contradictions on transport at national and local level. The #NHS and @eastsussexcc.bsky.social need to do better! #ActiveTravel @cyclinguk.bsky.social
Bespoke Cycle Group@bespokeeb.bsky.social · 8mo agoGreat article with @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social about encouraging less driving and more active travel to save the #NHS hastingsonlinetimes.co.uk/hot-topics/h...
This is a very good article. Enabling much more active travel and discouraging driving is a public health intervention that will reduce the load on the NHS.

With help of @robertprice.bsky.social , I've connected my Timex Sinclair 2040 printer to my @tynemouthsoftware.co.uk #Minstrel4th. ZX Printer was well-supported by #JupiterAce with lots of software, which I'll be exploring. www.robertprice.co.uk/robblog/usin... www.jupiter-ace.co.uk/sw_zxprinter...

I tried to expand on my #RetroChallenge and build an #RC2014 module that could decode the 8 bits returned from a NES controller using just 74 series logic and a 555 timer. It didn’t work. I think I have the timing slightly out so some of the logic is triggering too early. I need a dual scope!
The #RetroChallenge may have finished, but I have a bonus post. The SNES controller is an extended version of the NES controller. So, I have reworked my #RC2014 NES controller module and Z80 assembly language example code to use the SNES controller. www.robertprice.co.uk/robblog/rc20...

Great to see the ZX-RC2014 Bus Interface in use here to use Robert's RC2014 NES Controller module on the ZX Spectrum! The Bus Interface gives your #ZXSpectrum two #RC2014 expansion slots and with an optional ZX through port too. Info/Purchase at: 2014.samcoupe.com
Robert Price@robertprice.bsky.social · 9mo agoIt's the final day of the #RetroChallenge so I've written about my finished project. In this post I explain how I was able to connect my RC2014 NES Controller module to a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and how I hacked the Manic Miner code so I could use my new module. www.robertprice.co.uk/robblog/rc20...

My most popular cartoon by a long chalk is also oddly niche, in that it mostly appeals to a generation who remember the song it refers to and enjoy the nostalgia for their youth. I can draw one for you if you like. www.worldofmoose.com/collections/...
I teased this a few days ago, but here's the latest part of my #RetroChallenge I've been able to put together the various parts I've already written up, and I can now move a pixel on a LED matrix using an NES controller on my #RC2014. www.robertprice.co.uk/robblog/rc20...
RC2025 - Part 7 - Moving a pixel with a NES controller - Robert Price
In this article I show how to move a pixel around an 8x8 LED matrix display by using an NES controller on an RC2014 computer.

I've been using the 8x8 LED Matrix module on my #RC2014 recently as part of the #RetroChallenge I've written up how it works, and also added a demo program in Z80 assembly language converted from the original BASIC example. www.robertprice.co.uk/robblog/rc20...

I've written about creating a reusable Z80 subroutine to read the NES controller on my #RC2014 computer as part of this year's #RetroChallenge To test it out, I output the returned value to LEDs. www.robertprice.co.uk/robblog/rc20...
