Title: Build your own handheld ZX Spectrum with Raspberry Pi Pico
Post by: R6GYY on January 24, 2024, 04:13:04 PM
I was intrigued until I started looking at prices to buy all the bits. The Raspberry Pi Pico is only £4, but the custom boards and faceplates don't half push the price up. Well over 100 sovs I think, and that is without shipping to the uk and import taxes.

Still - good work  :D

Very nice! But I dare say there's an emulator online somewhere.

Ah yes, there is ..

Never had one myself. I'd love a physical ZX-81 though.

Actually I do have an original one in the loft, but no old-fashioned telly to connect it to.
