LaterAfter that, it standardized the possibility of ports from the ZX Spectrum to PCW: ''Movie''; ''Fat Worm''; ''Nonamed''; and ''Phantomas2/Vampire'', which used the PCW's buzzer as the Spectrum's beeper. Some of these also incorporated AY music.
The conversion trail was followed by Kachorro in its Spectrum ports of ''Barbarian'', ''Coliseum'', and ''Xecutor''.

Port $80 is used to send a value to select a register. Port $81 is for associated data; both support reading and writing. Similar to the operation of integrated circuits such as the PSG or a VDP, it allows sending many values ​​with a minimal interface.

This is how '''KachorroSoft''' created the incredible colour ports of '''AMC''' and '''MadMixGame''' with graphics from the CPC; '''Phantis''' from MS-DOS CGA and CPC; and '''Hundra''' from the ZX Spectrum. But with new colour palettes.
