Blerk! :: raww.org :: zx spectrum demoscene news

Due to a distinct lack of "major" news today, here's some bits'n'pieces cobbled together from what I have (mostly from an email I received from Mac Buster -- but not all):

First off, Martijn van der Heide of WOS is disappearing for a few weeks, so I'm not expecting any updates for a while. Of coz, I could be surprised, and he may have found someone else to do the dirty work. We'll see.
More GMX info... seems that the emulation isn't quite like a real Pentagon. As I mentioned earlier, it seems more robust, hehe. But I want to know why we can't all use standard grey-case +2's, eh? On that note, if anyone has one for sale... <g>
About my suggestion for a .AZX-player for the Spectrum, MacB says that the final files would be just too damned big, and require mucho processor power (more than the 3.55MHz we have to play with). Of course, I was thinking of the .VTX format (nice and small). Checking out the specs for .AZX, I can see what he means. It's the quality/filesize compromise. Good for "desktop"-players, tho'. Hmm.
Lastly, MacB also pointed me to a (hopefully better) Russian online-translator, over at Promt. If all goes well, there should be less gaps in the news. Failing that, I'll just ask a few people to translate for me... it'll enhance the "community spirit".

So, there ya go.
