@Gryzor 
The Raspberry pi keyboard, almost identical to the pi 400 except scroll lock is power for the 400, it is also a usb 2 hub giving 3 extra usb 2 sockets at the back.

The wiki articles for Demoware 1 and 2 were written by CRTC (Richard Fairhurst).

I may know who the Sorcerer is who coded some of Demoware 2 

I'll be in touch for some more information then! 

I've seen @ChaRleyTroniC on here occasionally so perhaps he can remember some of the story. I'm happy to take private messages from any one.

Those are seriously nice. Can one use a 400 as a PC keyboard? 😁

Demos / Info about Bitmap Vandals (UK ...

Last post by Interrupt - Today at 17:12

I was in contact with Obi just before he left the CPC scene and wasn't aware of the criticism surrounding him and Demoware until relatively recently. I'd like to do a video covering Demoware I & II but want to deal with the controversies, criticism from as broad a perspective as I can. 

I'd be interested in hearing from any involved in The Bitmap Vandals, or those who knew anyone involved. I'd also be interested in hearing from those who interacted with them. 

The wiki entry for Demoware I seems to have been written by someone with inside information on the controversy for example...  https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php?title=Demoware&redirect=no&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop

If anyone has any pointers to magazine, fanzine or demo mentions that would also be appreciated.

@Gryzor thanks

Ok to make things clear, this I a complete overlay to show where the emulator maps the keys on a standard pc keyboard, it can be removed when not needed and stored away until you need it again, being silicone printed there is little to no wear and tear making them long lasting and no limitations to the number you own, if you change to another emulator like fuse for the spectrum as an example, just change the cover, no sticky residue left behind yuk.
