1. Does anyone know where I can find a Spectrum Emulator Cartridge?

jhiggins327 · 19 Jun 2015 23:37:19 -

I've had a TS2068 sitting on my shelf collecting dust for some months now.  I'd like to actually play some games on it, but I haven't been able to find a Spectrum rom cart anywhere.  The old 8bit.yarek.pl site is dead, so that's a no-go.  Am I just out of luck here?

 I own a Spectrum emulator cartridge that was manufactured in Argentina in the mid-80's, as all ts2068 sold here came with one. Currently there is only one selling in sales portals, ask around u $ s 50 for it, but it's not easy to find because most are near the machine with which they were sold.

I replaced my ROM directly with a TS2048 rom and it works perfectly as a Spectrum.

That sounds interesting.  How, exactly, would I go about doing that?

I found a ROM from the "TS2048" and burned that to replace
the "home" ROM. I didn't bother to do anything with the "EX" ROM, it's
still in place. The 2048 ROM is 99.9% a Spectrum ROM, with only a small
patch to the startup code to send the OUT255,0 (like Richard's patch
does).

I didn't cut any traces, lift any pins, or anything- a 27256 (doubled up
2048 ROM) just worked fine without modification. I get full Spectrum
compatibility and it boots every time.

Well, that sounds like what I need to do.  And you're talking about the unreleased TS2048, not the TC2048 that was released in Europe, right?
