ESP32 Rainbow Loader

see also Firmware

Hidden feature: on the About screen, press T to get a Test screen which allows you to also test keycode input on the touch keyboard / attached peripherals. It also (loudly!) tests the speaker and mounts the SD card if present. (requires updating to firmware 0.0.9 from the esp32rainbow web page)

ZX Spectrum emulator

  • 48K
  • 128K

Note that the menu presented when you start the 128K emulator has to be navigated with CAPS/SHIFT held and 6/7 as UP/DOWN. This differs from the Main Menu / Loader menu where 5/6/7 work as arrow keys regardless of CAPS/SHIFT being pressed.

LOAD/SAVE

LOAD and SAVE currently will trigger attempts to access tape files. Z80 and SNA files can't be loaded by this method.

Tape loading is rudimentary at the moment. We don't handle any games that involve multi loading (eg load the first level from tape and then load later levels as required).

SAVE - won't do anything right now - but you can use the snapshot feature for that - just push the "boot" button and you'll get a special menu.

This area is under investigation for improvement.
