Yes, absolutely. I will release it here soon. We now have 8910 sound sort of https://www.dropbox.com/s/myh5c7q2l72xpbs/videoAquariusSound.mp4?dl=0 Keyboard and cassette load to finish off and 1 bug that prevents some ROMs from working

A bit over full speed at the moment so it will be made an option Full speed or Maxspeed. It has the ability to do more in the way of graphics by poking into the memory area between text and colour RAM these include hi-res primitives with a 64 colour pallette but it is still being reviewed as I need to make sure that this area of RAM isn't ever used by anything else. AY8910 sound emulation should be possible too.

Finally got round to the ESP32 VGA version, https://www.dropbox.com/s/rmp4ew29mijyge6/AquariusVGAESP32.mp4?dl=0 Still a bit to do like full keyboard support and sound but getting there.

I really didn't find it and I'm so annoyed Many house moves I guess. I know I never took it with me when I left home so I hold my mother totally responsible

I'll get hold of one and try it. I have an ESP32 version ready so shouldn't be too hard. I'll keep you posted

Still very much a work in progress. Aquarius Emulator running on ESP8266 attached to a 4D 7" Touch screen. Supports ROM and Cassette loading and saving to ESP8266 using LittleFS filesystem https://www.dropbox.com/s/ghgykqfq3vrk4cq/AquariusESP8266Emulator.mp4?dl=0

Hi again, Anyone know if a DOS version of Virtual Aquarius exist's. Just an idea, I have a HP thin client and used it as a BBC Micro emulator under DOS. It was totally solid state and supported USB as that is what it booted from. An ideal candidate for Aquarius emulator, getting the sound card maybe a bit tricky though.

Hi, Thank's for your comments, I should receive the cassettes from my mother in a few day's so hopefully it is there. I will check out the Aquarius user site and will have to find an Aquarius again.

Will do, and thanks for your help.

My mother has informed me that she has found some cassettes, maybe master's (fingers crossed). I've never converted a cassette before. Am I right in thinking that I record to my PC and then convert the .WAV to CAQ.

Hi, I am new to this forum purely because I was unaware of any Aquarius collectors. It's good to see things move on, I can remember when I had my Aquarius over 20 years ago, programming machine code in decimal (no assembler's to hand then). I had a go with the emulator yesterday and it all came flooding back, good work. I wrote Aquapede back then, but it didn't sell in great number's as the Aquarius's life was pretty short. It's possible a copy still exist's at my parents house and if so I will make it available to all. Mattel or Radofin were very good to me then by giving me all the tech info on the machine which made the job a bit easier. If memory serves me correctly, taking into account the memory constraint's I had to work with, movements were done using screen memory scans and moving characters either left or right or up and down and a storage area for the screen so I could replace the items under moving characters, All good fun. It would be good to see it again. I also modified a zx81 memory expansion to fit my aquarius. It wasn't at all elegant but done the job. I didn't mind that the Aquarius wasn't high res, but user definable character set would have made a difference. I always remembered it as a solid reliable machine and quite a lot of fun at the time. I am following this thread with great interest and will probably have a go at programming z80 code again. Keep up the good work.
