Hello there.
There is an interesting Speccy emulator on the Net.
It can display 256 colours and there exist several games (changed from normal Spectrum games) which are made in 256 colours.
Would it be possible to load the games on Sprinter and display them properly? (Without any errors)? A halfo of work is done as there are games for 256colours mode - and they work.
Here is a www page of the mulator:

Or maybe this site will work faster;

Hey...?
Misters Sprinter-Rulers...?
Are you there?

Ok. These 12 games look well, but is it a cause of making a new mode for the Sprinter?
We wait more opinions.
Also we have a tail of different suggestions already. But we can't do all of them in same time.
For example today we work for Sprinter's VGA convertor.
Next - a new model of Sprinter computer (note: not a new mainboard!).
And it is only a "hardware" part of our work!

Hey, hey, easy. I'm just asking, nothing more.
I wanted only to know if it's possible to make them work now.
As I understand - it isn't.
That's OK, that's what I wanted to know. :-)

About SPEC256:

"The idea is: in one hand weґve got the speccy emulator with its memory zone, and in the other we emulate a Z80 which works with 64 bit registers instead of 8 bit, and with a memory map with positions of 64 bit instead of 8."

So, it's impossible in Sprinter...

In my opinion another thing is internet (tcp/ip) support (modem or also (better) lan card) natively supported on sprinter.
I am working to zx-box project and some stuff are yet ready (as lan card and web browser) in speccy mode. I hope in a good work of Sprinter staff for support it on Estex OS or better in Gui implementation by MGV :-)

Yes, Sprinter can not use these 12 games. You could take this info from Sprinter documentation too. Sprinter supports several Spectrum clones only.
BTW two years ago we already discussed idea of 256 color Spectrum games for the Sprinter.
So, it has another way of solution. But it is not impossible at all.

It's very interesting! And we hope too. But in fact all Sprinter developers moves are independent from us. We can guarantee only progress of Estex and access to the full developers documentation. Certainly, we finance most useful software projects. But absolutely all Sprinter software projects are important for us and all Sprinter users. We are ready to cooperation.

what about the support multicolor - gigascreen in Sprinter?

Which Spectrum software used it already? Is it really useful (or so popular) software?
Spectrum's demo programms which use multicolor effect works fine. Or something else?
