Before you continue to the manual itself, a few words about the HTML version: l I've tried to duplicate the original's appearance as closely as possible, while keeping images to a minimum (or to as small a size as possible). This means I've kept the original page structure of the paper manual, with one change: if a sentence was split over two pages, it is now kept within the boundaries of the original page. Also in place of three plain text tables that were meant to illustrate on-screen menus, I've made screen grabs of the appropriate areas of the screen and used those instead. l Tables are used quite heavily. If your browser is not tables-capable, either get a decent one, or read the ASCII text version of the manual. Tables are used not only to recreate the tables found in the original paper manual, but also to move the text to the right (i.e. create a left margin without using Internet Explorer's LEFTMARGIN tag). This is so the text can clear the coloured bar on the left of each page (providing your browser is loading background images). Many browsers will not display a table until the entire portion of the page containing the table has been downloaded.

Thanks also to Matthew Westcott for helping me to understand TR-DOS a little better. ZXF magazine delights in reporting on the achievements of the members of the Spectrum community and is indebited to them all for their efforts. In particular, ZXF could not have achieved its current distribution without the hosting offered by Martijn van der Heide at www.worldofspectrum.org, whose own contribution to the Spectrum scene goes well beyond the easily measurable. Contents Preface vii 1 Emulator basics 1 2 Finding files 15 3 Peripherals 19 4 Emulator extras 27 5 Utilities 32 6 Russian clones; TR-DOS 44 7 Other emulators 49 Appendix I: Key websites 58 Appendix II: Key documents 61 Appendix III: comp.sys.sinclair 63 Index 67 for Jack Preface So you've finally realised. You think that new technology is great - of course you do - but ever since you packed away that old Spectrum in a box and taped up the lid something has most definitely been missing. At last you understand you were turning your back on more than just an obsolete computer. The good news is that you don't have to fish the box out from under the bed just yet (or lament its sale on ebay or at the local car boot): the Spectrum is one of the most emulated computers (if not the most emulated computer) on the planet and the quality of its emulation is just superb.

  • From Arbitration to Celebration – the Rise of the UK Videogame Magazine
    From Arbitration to Celebration – The Rise of the UK Videogame Magazine Robin Bootes Independent Researcher [email protected] Keywords UK gaming history, videogame magazines, review scores, commodity cultures EXTENDED ABSTRACT This research examines the evolution of the 1980s and 1990s videogame magazine from advocate to celebrant of the home-computer as games machine. This is achieved via an analysis of the escalating review scores meted out by various magazine brands, alongside a close textual reading of the editorial manifestos and review guides that accompanied launch issues. This approach enables a comparison of the manifest editorial content, what the magazines explicitly declare as their position, with the latent meanings coded into the rating scores. The mixed-methodology used for this study mainly comprises of content analysis and discourse analysis, alongside basic statistical ground work that establishes the rising ratings in the reviews; with ratings rising by over 10% on average between 1984 and 1992. Over 100 magazines from 1981 to 1993 were examined, with 3000 review scores being included in the analysis. The magazine sample consisted of Computer & Video Games, Sinclair User, Your Sinclair, CRASH, Amstrad Action, Computer Gamer, and ACE. This sample examines both those texts traditionally included and excluded from the gaming historical narrative. Through this research the function of these historical gaming magazines is outlined as three-fold: firstly ensure profits for its own controlling interests, secondly provide the gamer with ‘gaming capital’ (Consalvo, 2007), and thirdly support the products of the gaming industry by acting as ‘buyers guides’ (Newman, 2008). These three functions do not necessarily co- exist harmoniously, and this research examines how the gaming magazine as a cultural industry tried to balance its role as taste arbiter and industry advocate.
