Great article. I remember early 80's, seeing 'Centipede' for the first time in an arcade in Blackpool on holiday, and not waiting to get home so I could try and make my own version on my ZX81. The closest the kids get nowadays is level editiors or such like. But I think over time the importance...

Thanks for the info! I forgot about Paint shop pro, messed with it years ago... one very cool thing about it was it could load/save as ilbm, the de facto standard amiga image file format - that impressed me no end. I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to windows or wine... I gave up microsoft...

@Tempel Had a look at those utilities... they were a little bit too basic! I've used a nice one called tilestudio (http://tilestudio.sourceforge.net/) - it was both a tile editor and map editor. A really useful thing about it was you could create new tiles on the fly. Windows only though. And...

Thanks for the reply, and for correcting my understanding of these terms! Yes, I was having a look. I don't think anyone is in any hurry to port these to the Pandora though. GLBasic looked interesting, I especially liked the fact that it is compiled (like Blitz Basic), rather than interpreted...

Well, since going Microsoft free I do not have MSPaint! I don't think it has a grid option like DPaint had for lining up tiles etc.

Hello! I am frustrated and irritated! I am going to get a pandora through the post at some point between today and 2015 (estimates vary) and have always wanted to write a game for it since ordering it. I am an amateur computer user, know my way around but no professional training. I am also...

I loved my Zodiac (rubbish analogue stick aside - take note GPH!) and if my Pandora gives me as much pleasure, I will be very pleased. The community over at Tapland were always helpful and friendly so I am very pleased to see others take the Pandora on board. As for 'splitting the community' -...

I'd much prefer a Palm OS emulator. Have loads of Palm stuff that I can't use properly because of EVIL Vista. I'm certain Microsoft deliberately made sure hotsync screwed up under vista to bugger palm users. But then I (a) am paranoid, and (B) hate Microsoft. Edit... That is supposed to be a...

A1200 with 68020 28MHz +4Mb Blizzard Expansion, and 512Mb HD... still going strong. Have cloned it onto laptop (WinUAE) and PS3 (EUAE), and if I can clone it fully onto my Pandora, I will wet my pants!

Then that is indeed a shame. Hindsight is an amazing thing. Don't get me wrong - I ordered my pandora on the first day, and desperately want it too succeed. But this is just the sort of thing that will mean that its appeal will be more limited to us sort who visit here, and not to a wider...

Okay, this is now officially ridiculous. Someone has surely got to come to the conclusion that this mould company are simply not able to produce the cases to the required standard. Time to consider cutting losses and finding another mould company. I take it not all the money was handed over...

Yes, I did the same about April when I realised the Pandora was not arriving anytime soon! The Wiz is a lovely device, still use it regularily, but there seems so little support or love for it by the community. Nothing like when the GP2X arrived. A real shame.

Very sad news. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

Great work on this - and nice to see the wiz getting a bit of love for a change! Just a minor point/bug... I prefer to play the older games (SOMI, S&M etc) in their original resolution, but if I switch off 'Aspect Ratio Correction', the menus mess up. The parts 'off screen' disappear, but I can...

I'd love to play Warcraft and Xcom-1 again, But my copy of XCom (or UFO as it was then!) is for the Amiga, and my copy of Warcraft for the PSX!

Hehehe... well, that is more of a 'feature' than a bug... There were many 48K games which were incompatable with the later 128K spectrums. Oh, and by the way, *excellent* work on this. It is my new favourite Wiz app, yes, even above MAME! Nothing beats a good spectrum emulator! Thanks again.

Good stuff... may have to get a Dingoo now!

Excellent news! Is the old GP2X version config compatable/transferable? Save me sorting out all the keys again!

This will be top priority for me! Even my pandora (if I ever get it before I die) will be 'meh' until there is a good spectrum emulator on it!

Hello there! Just got a new Wiz \o/... but my age old problem with Mame has cropped up again. I've still not managed to get my head round this. I only want some games, say 100 from the whole set, but some files are split across various archives for many of the games. On moving my best guess of...
