"1K-PUTT", the first game of 2010 for the ZX81 and TIMEX1000/1500 from ANDRE*** is out NOW!!!

The game runs on a ZX81 or a TIMEX 1000/1500 and requires only 1k memory. You must determine the EXACT power to apply to the ball to reach the cup. Watch for the rolling ball effect.

COMMING UP SOON:

"REVERSE" from ANDRE***, the 16K version and the 1K version will be out at the end of January.

ZX-MICROFAIR will be held MARCH 12-14 in Germany. "http://www.zx-team.de" for details.

High speed SD/MMC interface - of course :¬D

It will feature single-button bootstrapping of loader - no tape or ROM code needed. Type LOAD"" (just so machine goes into a fast-mode loop) and hit the button. The device will take control of the bus and put the menu/game/boot-loader directly into memory.

This will work with Internal memory only at the moment though I'm planning a version which has a 32k (8-40k) expansion built-in.

That's most interesting. Sounds like a divIDE for ZX81 actually.
To avoid the divIDE's constructors main mistake, I would suggest also it should save files with SAVE "name".
What files will it use? *.P I hope? Or maybe also TZX?

[sirmorris]

To do anything like patching the ROM would take too much effort. So SAVEing, if supported at all, would be of the PRINT USR variety. Sorry.

It will use P files though.
