Gigatron Hackers

Nice find!

I made some changes (throttling requests), hope that'll make it better. Coming July, the server will move.

You might encounter some difficulties with the forum site/main site. Especially when automated queries are made (bots) the current system is unable to cope with the amount of requests and will throw server errors.

The clock speed will not change the edge of the video, it will only make the Gigatron spit out the signal slower or faster. The more it deviates from 6.25MHz, the more trouble it will give the TV/monitor to sync to the image. But when sync fails, you will get nothing, not just part of the image. Whe...

Maybe you should reload the page or empty the cache?

https://gigatron.io/emu/ now uses ROMv6.

Yes, these are all great blasts from the past!

Here is the first release of Manic Miner written by Mathew Smith in 1983 for the Spectrum. It requires a 64k Gigatron. Wonderful! Many congrats, it's been a journey I believe :-) Unfortunately I haven't got a Gigatron here with the correct specs. Maybe somebody can upload a video of the gameplay?

That is fantastic. I just ran it on my hardware. Marcel would be chuffed to bits. MSCP was a bit part of his life.

Manic miner!! Looking forward to this!
