@0xC0DE6502 Looking very Peter Scott style, big and bold!

[Nigel Barnes @Nbarnes70]

@0xC0DE6502 They all look the same 😆

@_ramacat @0xC0DE6502 I did a major overhaul of the Electron emulation in MAME just over a year ago. It's not 100% yet, especially with a certain demo coder, but should be good enough for most use cases and certainly supports more peripherals than any other emulator.

[Nigel Barnes @Nbarnes70]

@0xC0DE6502 I feel there's a game coming from this!

[Nigel Barnes @Nbarnes70]

@Devilish_Design @mister35mm I've been playing with the Cortex in MAME and just discovered the Comp 80, so would like to emulate it. Any chance of the ROM dumps?

[Nigel Barnes @Nbarnes70]

@0xC0DE6502 Thanks, just tried and results are not surprising, will keep for when I give the video another overhaul.

[Nigel Barnes @Nbarnes70]

@0xC0DE6502 Chuck me a floppy image to add to my test cases, that I'll get to eventually.

[Nigel Barnes @Nbarnes70]

@0xC0DE6502 As you didn't mention it I suspect I don't wanna know how bad it is!

[Nigel Barnes @Nbarnes70]

@RetroBC_Pete @KevEdwardsRetro Ok, I'll slightly rephrase ... it has been shown in a video but hasn't been documented with decent photos of each board, and I'm still not convinced the ROMs were dumped (I enquired fairly recently) and from experience those 2532's are on the edge of their life expectancy.

[Nigel Barnes @Nbarnes70]

@KevEdwardsRetro You got the back of head eating a burger!

[Nigel Barnes @Nbarnes70]

@KevEdwardsRetro Wasn't quite old enough for the pub at the time unfortunately.

[Nigel Barnes @Nbarnes70]

@KevEdwardsRetro I think I'll recognise you, last met at a Micro User at UMIST.

[Nigel Barnes @Nbarnes70]

@BinaryDinosaurs Something I'm aware of?

[Nigel Barnes @Nbarnes70]

@jeriellsworth Will you be dumping the ROMs? I see there's a 2716 and a 2332 mask ROM that will contain boot code for each Z80.

@HereBeDragons3 Video of the MAP running the demo tape https://t.co/g7drnpdfey

I blame @Nbarnes70 for this. He alerted me to the existence of the Seiko MAP-1010, a Sanyo PHC-25 'clone' (I'm not 100% sure of the relationship between the two machines). It's half computer, half 80s tape deck and entirely lust worthy ...
