If you bought this magazine, maybe you know which issue had something about Amstrads.

Trust Google translate to spout bullshit.
The magazine is in Serbian. There are little differences between these "dialects" as I'd call it (but that would put us on the slippery slope of politics on the Balkans), and all of them can understand each other easily. People usually avoid stating the language by calling it "naš", our (language). And I can usually buy magazines from every part in the other parts of former Yugoslavia.
Anyway, on the title "mesečno" would be written (and pronounced) "mjesečno" in Bosnia and Croatia. In Croatia you'd say "računalo", plural "računala", in Serbia it is "računar", plural "računari". The latter is the title of the magazine.
They livened up the pages of a dry computer magazine in this way in a typical Slavic manner, I'd say.
BTW, "Amstradov" means "of the Amstrad" or closer to the original adjective "Amstradian".

If you are interested in an internal 1MB DIY RAM expansion for the CPC 6128 you can now find all required information on Github to build one yourself:

Last post by deadmeat - Yesterday at 15:29Hi Bryce,
I didn't open my other CPC, that can be an option as soon as I have a little time... however I've found an ebay listing for a replacement that really looks identical but it's crazy expensive (smaller gear on the right). In any case if a non original part can be good enough I think I'll go for it, rather than trying to 3d print it. If any other tape brand of the era can be compatible maybe it's easier to source the part.

The PDF is OCR-enabled, and you can select text and translate it with Google Translate. It recognizes text as Bosnian. The first issue is an article about how interrupts work and how to switch ROMs. Even after translating it, I'm not smart enough to understand it.
The second issue only contains news about new C64c, ZX+2, and PC1512 computers, as well as an article about using inline in machine code. When I saw the assembler mnemonics, I gave up reading. There's also a mention of games for Amstrads.
Perhaps there would be something more interesting in other issues without Amstrads on the cover, but I don't feel like looking. I have better things to do.

Whole scan PDF low quality, and CBZ (jpg every page inside), good quality.

As a big pong fan, I can't wait to give this a go when I get home later this evening!

Quote from: Gryzor on Yesterday at 08:44Well, it looks nice and very faithful, but I don't know why it would need colour? Also, what GX tricks does it use?Regarding the colour, with 4 paddles moving on the screen it starts to get a bit confusing so the colour is there to help distinguish them. I kept the colours flat and fairly pastel so it didn't end up getting too far away from the Pong 'look'.
