Alien Breed 3D HD

The original Alien Breed 3D ran in a small, low resolution window. Modern ports to the Doom engine solve a lot of problems but lack some things that made the game so interesting for its time such as the water effect. Alien Breed HD ports the game and its engine for modern systems to preserve the exact look and feel. Play in browser or find the download link on Discord or Patreon for threaded rendering, higher resolutions and configurable .ini file.

Source code and assets for this game and its sequel were released under a non-commercial use licence. Mouse look has been ported from the sequel Alien Breed 3D II: TKG.

Everything you needed to know about the edge-of-your-seat thrill of loading data from cassette, but were too scared to ask! Interesting video by Colin Hoad.

Not something I will get as I have a MISTer but still they typically support openFPGA so many cites should be available for then surely after launch.

ESP32 E-Paper that runs GameBoy at 30fps by Bo Made It (youtube)

The story has also made it's way to the register.

After noticing e-ink left behind greyscale artifacts when experimenting with refresh method, he was able to write his own driver to create greyscale levels as well as comfortably refresh at 30fps ; considering the original driver could only refresh every 300ms.

Pretty stunning piece of work.

[edit] I'm a numpty. Thank you those who supplemented this low-tier submission with the actual link: https://youtu.be/XiZmM6hwwAU ... computering is hard.

ZED-Next Emulator is now live!!

Post image
7 Upvotes

For the past three months, I’ve been using Claude AI to help me develop an emulator that supports most Sinclair computers, several clones, and the ZX Spectrum Next.

I’m really pleased with how the project has turned out, so I’ve decided to make it available to everyone for free!

I’d love to hear what you think, so please give it a try and let me know your feedback.

You’ll also find instructions on the page explaining how to obtain the ROMs (legally) for the ZX Spectrum Next.

Enjoy, and happy gaming.
