ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

Scrolling on the ZX is hard, as you have to do all graphics in software.

You get a frame buffer with weird addressing and that's it.
<ValleyBell>
And the KC-85/3 built in GDR made it worse by increasing the frame buffer size from 256x192 to 320x256 while *halving* the CPU clock to 1.75 MHz.

The KC-85/3 was the computer I learned programm with, btw.
<andlabs>

I wonder how many spectrum clones were enhanced like that
<andlabs>
now that I know that was a thing that happened
