and one guy is like
'awh ok... i made that'

@Eccles one of your Speccys?
is it a 48K, a 128K, or an Amstrad Version?
They're both rubber-keyed 48Ks, got em about 10 years ago for spares, finally got round to trying to fix em
i would love to get a Speccy

*when the Welsh make a microcomputer*
It was possible to increase the speed of the computer by using POKE 65495,0 which accelerates the ROM-resident BASIC interpreter, but temporarily disables correct functioning of the cassette/printer ports
i understand *some* of it! proud 😛
The Dragon's main display mode is 'black on green' text (actually the black was a deeper, muddier green).
omg the matrix
funny enough
some games used that poke
and when they made a new model
the CPU was made of shitter components, so it couldn't do the poke.
so that meant a good chunk of games wouldn't work on certain models of the Dragon computers
