The random pickler often chucks up some utter crap, but every so often it gives me something incredibly unique. Last night it gave me a game called Europe Vision 2015, which turned out to be quite epic! (Headphone users beware)

@gazsp@mastodonapp.uk a terminal emulator is key by key, sounds like I may be in for a whole world of pain trying to get it working 😆

Your printer port method is definitely much friendlier than trying to attach to an AY

@gazsp@mastodonapp.uk I've been trying to get SnapCTerm working with the ESP12, and I've managed to get nihirash's asm wrapped up in C functions nicely but only works with Z88DK's newlib AND is currently blocking.. SnapCTerm requires classic lib with ANSI and of course a terminal cant run on blocking mode.

I LOVE the Spectranet but it is a bit of a faff (and its BASIC extensions can be an issue for some games)

@gazsp@mastodonapp.uk I have a ZX Omni which has the ESP12 on AY, and the Spectranet for the other machines - one of which is a +2B. I'm nearly tempted to grab one of these as yet another thing to tinker with.

Am I right in thinking its less of a pain in the arse through the printer port than it is on the AY?

Despite having no energy and feeling a bit bleh I quite enjoyed last night's stream.

Really am very drained this week, but am still going to stream - nothing too troubling though!

Aztec Adventure on the Master System is a nice chilled game, so I think that is what I shall play.

8pm GMT over on twitch!

Upon reflection I think I need to give 1983 a second go. This time using my tried and tested live random pickler.
