Those are not joysticks, see: Inicio - TOAD (http://www.toad.es/)

Basically a fancy box for a Raspberry-Pi 3B + emulators.

Darn, there's so much interesting stuff shown off there, and only articles in Spanish exist... I'm frantic not to miss anything, but I'm not optimistic :(

I can help you translating any piece if you want.

It was a local event after all, and not may people can actually write English. The struggle is real! :)

Just out of curiosity: What's the most spoken 2nd language in Spain? Is it French? Or Portuguese? Both would make sense to me.  :)

Several regions in Spain have a local language, and in some of them Spanish could even be the 2nd language. In my case, and because of that, English is my third language.

Just because a country shares a border there's no reason to be exposed to the language, I guess. The main foreign language at school is English, but is pretty much to pass the exams and read some texts (if you're smart enough).

[ot]That's like where I come from: The blessed kingdom of Bavaria. At school the force us to learn German, but Bavarian tongue is so much more beautiful.


Here is a session of Bavarian for beginners (in German), one can hear the difference.  ;)

Just jumping on this thread to ask where you're finding pics and other info about Amstrad Eterno? I almost went to it, but couldn't really justify it in the end, but I'd love to see what I missed :-b
