It's mostly laid out and just needs routing. In the meantime, here's a render of the in-progress development board. Ideally, we just want a handheld done that'll do Rick's design justice rather than just be lost. However, we'll be transparent about progress (or lack thereof). Graham should be able to supply more details soon.Īpologies in advance if this sounds perhaps a bit vague, but we wanted people to know there's maybe something recoverable out of the situation and we're working on it but, since it's basically a labour of love rather than a funded project and there will be bumps in the road, it'll take a bit of time. I've identified what I suspect the issue is and we should be able to rectify those issues as well. What "near term" means is probaby a few months as there'll be fit issues and tweaking required.Īlso, I've been looking at the issues with the Vega+ specifically around the shambles that was the buttons.
This is a considerable rework from my original "spite" handheld (videos available on the Hermit Retro page) but basing this new board off that old design means there's a solid chance it'll work and be available in the near term. However, as per other Hermit Retro boards, it'll have a Raspberry Pi Zero W onboard to make modification easier, development quicker and be a bit more transparent. plus reuse the original LCD, battery spec and speaker. The board has been designed to fit the existing Vega+ shells and match buttons, ports, etc.
“Following on from Graham's post about ex-RCL stock, I'll announce that Hermit Retro Products is working on a replacement board for the Vega+. Someone has bought the remaining stock and another has taken up the challenge to put new boards in them Now what would be the evidence behind this? Why would RCL give £600k to a sales agent? That makes no sense whatsoever.Īre these the original Vegas that were unsold? If so, what on earth happened to the 5,000 consoles (previously in possession, so they've disappeared like the money). It's not as if we wouldn't have noticed 5,000 appearing on the market or like they wouldn't have realised they'd been lost, or sold to someone else! Malcolm Cooper was the guy behind Cornernstone, the sales agent for the Vega and the one RCL made various claims about. One creditor? That's owed £1.2m? I wonder who this creditor is? Is it someone representing the backers? Or did RCL owe £1.2m to someone like SMS? £1.2m in unsecured creditors? They raised £500k on Indiegogo, even if every single backer applied as a creditor, then that still brings in £700k in debt they've accumulated. Here is a picture of the insides of the ZXSV.A bit more about that liquidators document (screenshots, because it looks like it's a scanned document). RCL was run originally by Paul Andrews and Chris Smith of RGL,They left the company to make TheC64, they had to come back to sort out the mess and lies David Levy made,he should never ever run another company again, and he was appointed by Clive Sinclair.? anyway enough of RCL. So I am going to post all the sites I can find and documents on it, RGL (Retro Games LTD) used the key mapping from the The ZXSV on TheC64 Mini.
#Sinclair zx spectrum vega plus handheld ebay ps3#
TheC64 Mini I pre-ordered from Game not Indiegogog,I would never use them,I have used Kickstarter.(The Pinball Arcade and the Terminator 2 Table For PS Vita and PS3 and Shenmue 3, Can't wait for that game. If the console is good and it ends up on ebay then I buy it. ZX Vega+ should of never been made,well it wasn't in a way,its only a prototype that some people got,was it a scam but it wouldn't make scene it was cause of ZXSV was a good product. I noticed there is no support for The ZXSV, it lasted about a year(2015 to 2016, Released on 24 of April, 2015),cause of the ZX Vega Plus,the 2 consoles should not be connected to each other,One is a based on a ZX Spectrum and the other isn't, The ZXSV was a hit,its not its fault its RCL and bad management. Sir Clive Sinclair and Retro Computers Ltd announce the launch of the Sinclair ZX Sp Check out The Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega Plus Console on Indiegogo.
I am going to call the ZX Spectrum Vega The ZXSV for short so I don't need to keep typing it.
