ZX-HD HDMI Interface comparison with RGB connection
I am really impressed with the ZX-HD interface; the games look great, IMO. i wanted to compare a ZX Spectrum connected to the TV via RGB with a ZX Spectrum connected to a monitor via HDMI using the ZX-HD interface. This would allow me to remove the TV on my main gaming desk, giving me more room.
Note I didn’t optimise the visual settings on my monitor, so I bet I could get it looking even better. But I am so happy with it as is. Deffo will remove the TV.
Details;
– connected to the TV via RGB Scart Video Cable TV Lead (Retro Computer Shack)
– connected to the monitor via a ZX-HD HDMI Interface (Bytedelight)
– using a DivMMC Enjoy! PRO for media loading.(Bytedelight) Sinclair ZX Spectrum Retro Gaming Retro Computing

ZX-HD ZX Spectrum, finally
I waited a while for this, and in the end, had to buy the ‘ZX-HD’ and ‘Raspberry PI zero’ separately. This meant i had to fit the boards together, including soldering a header. I wasn’t looking forward to doing that as my soldering skills are non-existent. I get by, JUST.
Thankfully although tricky and some ‘shit have a burnt the board’ moments, it works. A massive smile on my face.From what I read and watched, it allows connecting to HDMI and does a fantastic job. The best way atm so can connect to recent monitors/tv with amazing quality picture.

ZX Spectrum, some classic games for the collection. I remember seeing these in the mags.
Some classic games for the collection. I still remember seeing these advertised. I love the artwork on the tapes.
Daley Thompsons Decathlon is the joystick breaker. I played this so much with my mates. I loved it, and I have great memories (Den, Terry, Rich)
Transylvanian Tower, I used to see this advertised all the time in the games mag. The image takes me back to the 80s. Don’t think I ever played it, but again love the artwork.
Space Raiders, one of the first games I had for the Spectrum, was just like I was at the arcades (Sunspot in Hull)

DivMMC Future, ZXSPECTRUM
Swapped out my current ZX Spectrum SD Card loader device for this DivMMC. It’s truly a “plug and play” SD card device for the ZX Spectrum. Load any game instantly!
Everything up to now I have tried has worked (I did have to do some tweaks for some early Ultimate Games). It’s straightforward to use and quick to set up. I am really impressed.
Spent a few hrs trying out loads of my favourites today, and these games still hold up today. And looking really good on the original hardware.

Yes, So Happy. . Sinclair Programs November 1984
Yes, so happy. Finally, after looking for years. I managed to get this with a front cover intact. Sinclair Programs November 1984. I programmed Coal Collector when I was 14yrs old using Sinclair basic. I called it Percy and the Picketts; it was during the miner strike. I got £10 for it

I think I will frame this and put it on my wall

Another Rubber Keyboard Wonder for the Collection
More retro for the collection, these machines are getting harder to get in good quality. Can’t beat the rubber keyboard, iconic. #RETROGAMING #RetroComputing #ZXSpectrum
Thought it would be wise that, although I have a few different versions of the ZX Spectrum (including the rubber one), that I get a copy more Rubber Keyboard versions
