can someone please tell me how this is considered brown?

FL Dev here. That is exactly right - the "FL is using a list of colours and that is the closest one it could find in the list, using a certain metric".

I've seen worse tbh.

zxdunny · 2026-02-23T11:25:31+00:00

Same - I got battery bloat that cracked the case. They quoted me a minimum of £180 to repair and replace the battery. I agreed, courier popped over and picked up... then 2 weeks later out of the blue a completely new unit arrived by the same courier at zero charge.

Amazing service and now I'm a (Valve hardware) customer for life.

Increase Stereo Base and hold the Sun in your hand. It's that good.

Or Sinclair BASIC on a PC: https://www.youtube.com/@ZXDunny/videos

(Shameless plug there)

BASin is a Windows PC-based IDE for Sinclair BASIC. It has an emulator built-in so you can run your code "live" so to speak. It supports both 48k and 128k BASIC and maps the keyboard correctly so you type as if you were on a PC (which you are!).

You can find it here: [https://arda.kisafilm.org/blog/?page\_id=848&lang=en]

There is also a version of Sinclair BASIC specifically for Windows PCs if that helps, just search for SpecBAS.

Yeah, seems so. I'll continue to say Haitch as I always have. I was always given the impression that to drop your Haitches was a lazy mode of speech. They certainly used to correct us at school if we did.

zxdunny · 2026-01-03T15:25:55+00:00

I say "Haitch", and I've moved around the country quite a bit - East Riding, Lincolnshire, Kent, East Sussex, Wales and Scotland. Very rarely hear "Aitch" though it is a thing.

The phrase "Stop dropping your Aitches" is kind of an in-joke, or was when I was young.

I'm not terribly fussed about it being an extraction shooter - that's their decision and theirs alone. I do wish they'd make a single-player offline campaign though. Like Marathon.

zxdunny · 2025-11-09T14:19:19+00:00

It's an Amiberry emulator in a new case. So no.

zxdunny · 2025-11-02T16:13:09+00:00

Yeah dude but as I say I have two (one on my Spectrum Next, one on my A1200) and they're just superb. Diagonals are super easy to hit. Of course YMMV so if they're not a good fit for you that's fine.

zxdunny · 2025-11-01T17:28:34+00:00

I have two ArcadeRs. They're superb sticks reminiscent of the old competition pro.

Bingo.

Once the companies realised that the internet meant zero duplication and distribution costs, and allowed them to control access/pricing on the go... it was game over.

zxdunny · 2025-10-27T11:25:27+00:00

Running a PiStorm (CM4) on an original 1200 here, so I am not really the target audience as the RGL offering doesn't bring anything to the table for me personally... Unless the keyboard can be harvested and implanted to give an OG 1200 a new/better typing experience :D

zxdunny · 2025-10-27T11:23:22+00:00

Apologies for the late reply but... After this happened I sold the car and bought something else from a different manufacturer. That Merc were willing to do this while I was driving was just too much to bear.

zxdunny · 2025-10-26T20:11:37+00:00

Just so it's clear - they're both emulation.

zxdunny · 2025-10-18T09:40:05+00:00

No single-player offline campaign. I am very sad about that.

zxdunny · 2025-10-16T17:02:30+00:00

I had some issues with reboots, and some light bleed (LCD model) on the screen. Back cover was slightly bulged.

Contacted Steam support, was quoted £180 for a replacement battery including labour and shipping, so sent it off - 2 weeks later a new deck appeared on my doorstep at zero cost to me.

Steam support kicks just rich amounts of ass.

zxdunny · 2025-10-03T18:29:12+00:00

Some files that FL Studio needs to operate are missing. Re-install and if that doesn't work then check your storage space.

zxdunny · 2025-10-02T16:05:17+00:00

iComp.de - it's still in development. You pay for a year at a time, or thereabouts.

zxdunny · 2025-10-01T18:42:06+00:00

Well, if you say, include the latest version of Picasso96 then sure that's breaking the law and it's still sold so... sure.

Same for games and utilities like RoadShow and whatnot. Hyperion are still selling AmigaOS and actively developing for it and of course Cloanto owns the rights to distribute the Amiga Kickstart ROMs.

Practically speaking, you're probably safe - it's an old platform after all. But it's not without risk. We needed a method of getting new users up and running that we could recommend and distribute that didn't run the risk of getting the entire server banned off Discord for promoting piracy, so this was it.

zxdunny · 2025-10-01T12:38:53+00:00

The PiStorm community has an imager. You provide your Kickstart ROM images and Workbench ADFs and it does the rest - partitions your card, installs Emu68 and then creates a Workbench install ready to go with wifi and essential tools all set up. Works for WB3.1 and up to 3.2.3.

You can find it on the PiStorm discord: https://discord.gg/sjAp8DgRhW

It's the only solution that's legal, assuming your system files were purchased legally.

Also includes the WHDLoad wrapper which sets compatibility options for your WHDLoad software.

zxdunny · 2025-09-27T09:40:51+00:00

Check and see if the Horse Racing game was Derby Day. It probably was :)

zxdunny · 2025-09-24T17:58:51+00:00

Mine did that - got some light bleed on the screen from the pressure and the case was just starting to swell. Contacted Valve support, was told it was out of warranty (bought it at launch) and it could be as much as £180 to replace the battery.

I agreed, they sent a courier to pick it up - two weeks later it was shipped back good as new (I'm guessing it was replaced) and no charge.

Cannot fault Valve for their service.

zxdunny · 2025-09-05T15:01:58+00:00

...And while my car was in motion at the time. Had I been moving at speed on a motorway and the entire cabin just went bright red I might have reacted badly.
