That's a TurboSound version of the song (ZX Spectrum with 2 x AY chips = 6 channels).
The improvements are rather cosmetic but it does sound a little bit different (more... 'depth' with 6ch instead of traditional 3ch). Also, at last it's possible to listen to it on headphones, hahaha.

Thanks again, guyz.
Regardssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss,

Hehehe. There's a strong&heavy possibility of it. wink
I wonder btw, how strong the Japanese beer usually is (also this "artificial" beer I'm interested in too wink ).

My reasoning is - here the standard light beer is being sold in cans 0,5 L and it's 5,6% of alcohol strong. Usually I take 7 of those while some bigger party and so on. For instance our ZX coder Hellboi takes for a night 12 beers in 0,5L cans, but beer in his country is usually 4% strong (more/less).

But % in JP might be different, not to mention the cans might be smaller (I don't recall those small capacities of cans, they're not popular here).

I mentioned about it somewhere but it was so long ago.
Hence -

my friend wrote a SF story once, about a peasant called "Yerzmyey" (hahah). The peasant was mowing wheat, one day. And suddenly the wheat cried and screamed: "Yerzmyey, ah Yerzmyey, why are you mowing me???!?? It hurts me so much!!"
But Yerzmyey was inexorable and impassive - and he continued to mow the wheat.
So the wheat attacked Yerzmyey - and ate him.
THE END.

And hence is my nickname. smile

Goodnight, children.

Hahah thanks for all infos dude, although when I was little telephones looked like this -

and my brother still has one of those, for fun. wink So THAT IS a *telephone* for me. wink Just for making callz: I don't even have an account of the Facebook, hee-hee. wink

So I am rather interested in, hm, "permanent possibility of acoustic wink contact with organizers, just in case, if anybody gets dead or a comet approaching or Godzilla is coming" and so on.

My niece said the "i-phone" should do the trick after all, when the JP sim-card is bought. Hm.

Wow! A good finding indeed. I love it. A case/box with the TV screen. wink

Although it's only for the second PI version, I notice.

Hehe, many thank mates.

Well, some people complained there was nothing about the Atari Falcon 030 (and they were right) but Matt hasn't asked so I even didn't think about it.

Maybe on some other occasions, heh. wink

Thanks a lot dudes. It's really informative stuff.

I also got from Lazerbeat infos about renting cell-phones. Hm.
http://www.air-s.biz/CellphoneEng.html
But what kind of oxymoron is that - I dunno:

"If you want to pay by cash, you need your credit card number". Hahah. So it could be not very helpful option.

Also, seems like they require to 'pay in' a deposit like 30 000 yens? Arrrrrrgh. So I'd have to quickly resign from it, hehe.

Oh the other hand, I was wondering about the cell/mobile phones.

As far as I know, our EU phones have no use in JP. And now I wonder if it would be enough to change the SIM-card into some Japanese one (if they're the same) and get some JP number - and use, or -
maybe our GSM phones are in totally different frequencies? And will be useless as machines in general?

Then - my niece has something like "Iphone 4s Model: A1387 EMC 2430" and she claims it should work in Japanese frequencies as well as the UE/US ones.

So finally I dunno wink whether to get some number and the SIM-card for her machine? Or - if it's impossible - is it reasonable to get some the cheapest cell-phone there, with a number? (And what would be the cost there).

Hm. What would You guys say'bout it?

Have a good week,
Y

Well, maybe it's a good decision. (But You will have to buy a case/box and a power-supply unit for it).
Not all demos work but usually games & utilities work just fine.

You can change the video output with a keyboard (RGB, VGA and so on) and You can change in options (F9) if You want to use 2 AY chips or 2 YM chips.

I recorded a song from my Speccy 2010 (using the "2 AY chips" setup) and it sounds like this:
http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/Yerzmyey-Sailor_Moon_Star.mp3

So - I'd say - not bad.



The stickers for the case I made myself, hehe. All the rest is standard. PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, standard Kempston / Atari / Amiga / C64 joystick.

PS:

Unless You want to avoid all of this, and get Yourself a new Spectrum. With everything on-board (plus VGA output). And even 2 AY chips. The Speccy 2010.

Well - yes, but 2068 requires a hardware emulator (a cartridge) to handle ZX Spectrum programs.

Also - all of them send music to AY ports typical for ZX128. So it wouldn't work on 2068.

Considering that ZX Spectrum had a modular construction (something like modern PC that uses cards)
and keeping in mind that TK series of Spectrum is NTSC, You might take a look below:


TK90X:

(requires AY interface - might be from Lotharek, I imagine - http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=40 ).



Or TK95 Spectrum -

(Also requires the same interface of AY).

So maybe You'd have to chat with dudez from Brazil. Someone might have the device.




...and of course a CF-card interface (divIDE) -
http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=56


But there might be some special system for it, You'd have to ask guys on WOS about it -
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/
The system 'on-board' the divIDE doesn't save, as it was supposed to be only a browser for games (tons of them, on Spectrum, all the most famous titles present - at least to 1993 or so).
Remembering about modules for the machine, the joystick (Kempston) module would be desirable.
But the modules are often combined, so people usually get

Joystick with AY chip -

or

divIDE with joystick -




Another thing is, Spectrum modification from PAL to NTSC should be rather easy, to some electronic type of guy.

What I found about Spectrum in NTSC countries wink is -
