【特集】 【PC Watch 30周年特別企画】あの頃、僕らはSocket 7に夢中だった。CPU栄枯盛衰30年史& 2056年の現実的未来予想図 2026年、PC Watchは創刊30周年を迎える。この30年間、PC Watchが追いかけてきたPCの進化の中心には常に「CPU」があった。もちろんHDDやメモリ、SSDなども進化してきたが、やはりPCのスペックを語る上で「CPU」の存在はいわば「華」といえる。

サイリックスがオールドCPUだって？ゼッパチかモトローラ68kだろ💢

とか言い出すから老人は嫌われるんですよ。（自分は初老なのでセーフ👍）

Round 1 of proofreading issue 03 of FREEZE-ZX is now complete and it’s now with my dear friend @gamesthatwerent.com to work his magic.
The issue will be available to pre-order next week.
Keep an eye on: freeze64.com/freeze-zx/

Last year’s April Fools became a reality 🤣
Actually — to be honest with you, it wasn’t an April Fools, but the timing certainly suggested it was 😉
Issue 03 is out in a few weeks time.

For too long now, 8 bit retro computers have been largely targeted at boys. I didn't think that was fair, so I have created a new retro computer kit just for girls, the MENSTRUAL 3.
This is still ZX81 compatible, but has a new mode which is Petticoat 5 compatible.

Producing this issue has been an absolute blast 😊
Anyway - time to start proofreading FREEZE-ZX issue 03.
Full details and preordering available soon at:

Most of the day to track down a single z80 bug.

A single call going to the wrong memory bank.

Not crashing. But ‘sometimes’ corrupting a section of map.

Everything pointing at something else.

And now? Guinness Foreign Extra 😅😎

Photograph of a little blue box that appears to be bigger on the inside. The front panel is adorned with toggle switches, LEDs and a green LCD glowing brightly. Text on the small screen reads RomWBW V3.6.0, Z80 CPU 7.372 MHz, RC2014_std, Ready. Also pictured is a ROM programmer.

A desktop computer screenshot showing a white-on-black terminal emulator application. The text shown in the terminal window is the boot message generated by RC2014 RomWBW. It is headed by an ASCII-art RC2014 logo, and a comprehensive dump of system information indicating the attached media and so on. The text ends with the prompt: Boot [H=help]

Upgrade day! My blue box #RC2014 Pro gets a bump from 3.5.0 to 3.6.0.

My hand-illustrated designs are #maker focused, including popular #retrocomputing boards or chips.

Today I share the venerable #Z80. I made a few variations, too.

What do you think?

(hm, all three together looks cool, too)

I can uhhh

Speak cat, Dutch, English and a wee bit of German and French, on top of tinkering with computers, and at the very least; not fully drown in Linux.

That being said; I still want to become proficient in #6502 or #z80 assembly, because..meow.

I wrote a retro Snake game in Z80 assembler. Still needs some work but the basic functions to move and grow the snake when it eats food are there.

From 8086 To Z80: Building A NASM-Inspired SDK For 8-Bit Retro Computing Assembler syntax is a touchy subject, with many a flamewar having raged over e.g. Intel vs AT&T style syntax. Thus when [Humberto Costa] recently acquired an MSX system for some fun retro-style ASM programming, he was dismayed to see that the available Z80 assemblers did not support the syntax of his favorite ASM tool, NASM. Thus was born the HC SDK project, which seeks to bring more NASM to the Z80, 8085 and a slew of other processors. There’s both a project site and a GitHub repository, from where both source and pre-compiled releases can be obtained. Supported host platforms are macOS, Windows, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Linux, with currently supported targets the 8080, 8085, 8086 and Z80. Support for the 6502 is currently in progress. The Netwide Assembler (NASM), targets only the x86 architecture, being one of the most popular assemblers for Linux and x86. It uses a variant of the Intel ASM syntax, which contrasts it strongly with the GNU Assembler (GAS) that uses AT&T syntax. Of course, in an ironic twist of fate NASM now also supports AT&T syntax and vice versa, albeit with some subtle gotchas. Regardless, if ASM for these retro architectures is your thing, then the HC SDK may be worth checking out. [Humberto] also says that he’s looking at adding higher-level language support to make it a more complete development environment for these old systems and new takes on them. Thanks to [Albert Wolf] for the tip.
