Loving it, Leon!

That was one of my favourite Speccy games in the day (before they all got to clever to play!)

Galaxians clone more recent version

I play much better with my right hand not holding the phone/camera :)

Looks like a whole reason for owning a QL fitted with your developments!

Thank you, I received new parts and I am waiting for a new pcb to try a faster cpu.

Hi Leon,

Video is excellent.

Does your games work with QL Joysticks? I used to make QL CTL to DB9 Joystick cables. I think have some paarts left.

I have your 2 boards working on Issue 5 QLs, one with QLSD and QIMSI.

Hi again Leon

Just thinking now about how future QL software could be written to readily detect the presence of your FPGA ULA.

Ideally a simple PEEK that wouldn't require an additional Resident Procedure.

Perhaps you've already thought about that?

Oh, and I want at least 3 units, when they are ready :-)
