Beyond The Scanlines Extra #008: The ZX Spectrum Next - Diving In Several Months After Launch!
317At long last, the ZX Spectrum Next has finally made its way Down Under and into my little workspace. Instead of putting together a review, this video focuses on my experiences playing around with it over the last few weeks.
From enjoying classic ZX Spectrum games, to checking out new titles the community is working on, plus some of the lesser discussed capabilities (such as loading additional cores). There's also some talk about some of the gotchas with video display and loading images - which may be handy if you're new to the Spectrum in general.
Gameplay footage recorded from a Spectrum Next in both HDMI mode, as well as RGB connected to both an XRGB-Mini and RetroTINK-2X SCART. Watch this video at 1080p50 for the absolute best quality!
