In the colour LAB space, without changing any other settings, you get a pretty cool result.
And thanks for the feedback.
I just realised that I broke the export...

edit: the export has been fixed

i managed to get further in the build changing the code to more ANSI style.  I will test it soon.

(Stands up) 10 minutes of applauses

Man I love when people do great stuff and they share it with the community. I wish there were more people like you out there!

Thank you!!

Many thanks. I'm humbled.

Please do let me know how you get on. I'm still not comfortable with the options I have for connecting to a mainboard. Although if you're using a new build board and mounting externally you have the freedom to choose connector types which will make things easier.

Amstrad CPC hardware / Re: CPC464 Mechanical Keyboard

Regarding the gap problem: Couldn't you just spread the gap across the entire keyboard by spacing each of the individual keys just a tiny bit further apart? All the same parts (a new PCB of course), but a much less obvious / visible fitment issue. If you get the PCBs made in black I doubt anyone would even notice it.

I did intend to put some mounting holes so you could fit a blanking plate, but forgot before I submitted the second revision  Changing the key spacing might feel a little 'odd' to type on. And it would also lose the alignment with the spacebar row. Probably something which is cursed either way. And red is my colour code for Amstrad projects. Others are free to choose something more sensible :grin:

I've been experimenting with Pixsaur occasionally for past few days, and I'm incredibly impressed by how much better it is than ConvImg, especially in Mode 1. Here's an example: a scene image IMPdoc by Kris on CPC+, another is my sincere desire to find replacements for a few beiges and grays in old 27-color palette to display this image on old CPC, another is a conversion from Plus to CPC by Pixsaur, and another, this time to MODE 1, although I chose colors myself because the defaults were terrible. I didn't even touch sliders.

Aaargh - I should have done this before.  I checked my copy of the system on it's disk.

The MF8000??.COM files may be all valid, maybe overlay files.  They are all small, largest one is 5k

The active program file, MF8000.COM should be 40k.  The disk you show the DIR for does not show the file sizes, but there IS a MF8000.COM, but it's at the end of the list rather that up near the top, so this file seems to have been messed with.  Maybe this file is damaged.

Is one of the MF8000??.COM files 40k.

If you've got a working version of MF8000.com, then you could copy that file to your purchased disk, but other files may be damaged as well?

Smooth scrolling and fast action. Can't wait to play it on my CPC.

Nice background style. Looks like ASCII characters.

As a real CPCist, I use M4 board's snapshot feature a lot. Fast and realiable. Didn't try on Heart of Salamanderland though.
