Arkanoid), volanti (giochi di corse), pistole (es. Duck Hunt) potrebbero non essere controllabili con joystick, ma richiedono periferiche ad hoc, al momento non configurabili. - I giochi che richiedono controller analogici (Playstation, Nintendo 64, etc etc) potrebbero non essere controllabili con plance a levetta singola, ma richiedono, appunto, un joypad con analogici (venduto separatamente). - Questo elenco è relativo alla scheda NEW PLATINUM EDITION basata su Raspberry Pi4. - Gli emulatori di sistemi 3D (Playstation, Nintendo64, Dreamcast) e PC (Amiga, Commodore) sono presenti SOLO nella NEW PLATINUM Pi4 e non sulle versioni Pi3 Plus e Gold. - Gli emulatori Atomiswave, Sega Naomi (Virtua Tennis, Virtua Striker, etc.) sono presenti SOLO nelle schede Pi4. - La versione PLUS Pi3B+ emula solo 550 titoli ARCADE, generati casualmente al momento dell'acquisto e non modificabile.

  • Aboard the Impulse Train: an Analysis of the Two- Channel Title Music Routine in Manic Miner Kenneth B
    All aboard the impulse train: an analysis of the two- channel title music routine in Manic Miner Kenneth B. McAlpine This is the author's accepted manuscript. The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s40869-015-0012-x All Aboard the Impulse Train: An analysis of the two-channel title music routine in Manic Miner Dr Kenneth B. McAlpine University of Abertay Dundee Abstract The ZX Spectrum launched in the UK in April 1982, and almost single- handedly kick-started the British computer games industry. Launched to compete with technologically-superior rivals from Acorn and Commodore, the Spectrum had price and popularity on its side and became a runaway success. One area, however, where the Spectrum betrayed its price-point was its sound hardware, providing just a single channel of 1-bit sound playback, and the first-generation of Spectrum titles did little to challenge the machine’s hardware. Programmers soon realised, however, that with clever machine coding, the Spectrum’s speaker could be encouraged to do more than it was ever designed to. This creativity, borne from constraint, represents a very real example of technology, or rather limited technology, as a driver for creativity, and, since the solutions were not without cost, they imparted a characteristic sound that, in turn, came to define the aesthetic of ZX Spectrum music. At the time, there was little interest in the formal study of either the technologies that support computer games or the social and cultural phenomena that surround them. This retrospective study aims to address that by deconstructing and analysing a key turning point in the musical life of the ZX Spectrum.

  • Chronology of the Development of Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy Games for the ZX Spectrum
    Chronology of the Development of Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy Games for the ZX Spectrum Created by Daniel Gromann ([email protected]) Hosted on JSW Central Last update: 22 April 2021 This document provides a comprehensive list of all known release dates of games using Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy game engines for the ZX Spectrum (and some other selected games of MM/JSW interest). It embraces gamma-released games, unfinished projects (where demo or beta files have been released) and editors. It also lists other dates related to the development of MM and JSW games for the ZX Spectrum, such as the publication of maps and RZX recordings, the launch and demise of major MM/JSW-related websites and other milestones in the online activity devoted to the subject. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this document. In some cases remarks like or a little earlier / or thereabouts have been added to denote the uncertainty if the exact date cannot be pinpointed. A one-day difference may occur between the date mentioned in this document and the release date as perceived by the author of the game if the information about the release was published on a website using an American time zone while the author was physically in Europe at the time of release (or vice versa). Any such discrepancies will be corrected upon request. If various events took place on the same day / in the same period, MM-related events are mentioned before JSW-related events. Game releases are mentioned before other events.

  • The Sound of 1-Bit: Technical Constraint and Musical Creativity on the 48K Sinclair ZX Spectrum
    The Sound of 1-bit: Technical Constraint and Musical Creativity on the 48k Sinclair ZX Spectrum Kenneth B. McAlpine (Abertay University) Sinclair 48K ZX Spectrum motherboard, Issue 3B. 1983, Manufactured 1984. CC BY-SA 3.0 – Bill Bertram. Abstract: This article explores constraint as a driver of creativity and innovation in early video game soundtracks. Using what was, perhaps, the most constrained platform of all, the 48k Sinclair ZX Spectrum, as a prism through which to examine the development of an early branch of video game music, the paper explores the creative approaches adopted by programmers to circumvent the Spectrum’s technical limitations so as to coax the hardware into performing feats of musicality that it had never been designed to achieve. These solutions were not without computational or aural cost, however, and their application often imparted a unique characteristic to the sound, which over time came to define the aesthetic of the 8-bit computer soundtrack, a sound which has been developed since as part of the emerging chiptune scene. By discussing pivotal moments in the development of ZX Spectrum music, this article will show how the application of binary impulse trains, granular synthesis, and pulse-width modulation came to shape the sound of 1-bit music. Keywords: 1-bit game music; ZX Spectrum; technical constraint Introduction For those who grew up gaming on the video game consoles and home computers of the early 1980s, the bleeps of the in-game music were as much a soundtrack to life as were Iron Maiden or Depeche Mode. Indeed, many teen gamers, myself included, spent much more time playing games and absorbing the sights and sounds of those games than we did spinning vinyl.
