I guess it just works if you flash it ( or buy it flashed ) with the HxC or flashfloppy firmware . There are also 3D-printed bays to install the Gotek in the place of the 3" FDDs https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2850367 https://hobbyretro.com/en/retro/adapter-for-gotek-amstrad-pcw

Ok guys, it's nice to see Triaxos working so well, but it also party time for a new game. As requested by @overange , here is a new conversion thanks to the work of @Urusergi and @dragon  with my humble involvement:

RED HEAT from Ocean

Controls:
J1B1  = Fire
J1UP  = Head butt / fire gun
J1DOWN = Duck / Pick up
Pause button = Pause game (any button to resume)

Modifications for the GX4000 version:
    - Original title screen but also a new one in mode 0 based on the C64 version,
    - Wait for fire on title screen,
    - Patched keys,
    - Joystick as default controls,
    - Plus incompatibility fixed,
    - Modified disk access routine,
    - Pokes: Unlimited lives and health

Many thanks to @dragon for the modification of the disk access routine to make the game work converted in CPR. You're a real master, dude

Fantastic to all those involved

Thanks again everyone.

Looks like a false alarm. Opened up to check capacitors, but no signs of failure.

Sprayed contact cleaner into the volume knob, let it dry and tested again. Sound is fine now! 

Can play Brick Rick again!

Only 50 people reading this forum?  Come on!

There are currently 3,725 registered users on the forum, but it would be an interesting exercise for @Gryzor to analyse how many of them are currently active (i.e. have logged in within a certain period of time).

Last post by squelch41 - Today at 11:33

In the end, I just converted to running on USBC PD.
12V feeding into the 12v line and a buck converter to derive 5v and feed that into the 5V line - all at the analogue board connector.

3D printed a new peice to cover where the mains cable used to come out.
Available on thingiverse for anyone who needs in future
(https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6595466)

No 24V supply but I dont have a printer.
Could be generated from a boost converter but I'd imagine the wattage is quite high.
