Just went to look at nadinka007's chanel. Laugh!!! Explains a lot. Would have thought that age 31was old enough to be a grow up but apparently not. Nvm. I thought you vid was funny, even though I never owned a Spectrum, but I remember them, and that noise!
@Deepsmeg Perhaps you're right. I don't have the original hardware any more to test it, and emulators aren't so easy to try it with (they load games instantly and can't really be disturbed with external noise or altering the loading device's volume/speed in the same way :)
@solcuerda Get Eighty One, it's the most accurate I've found (You can do ghosted TV image stuff and it will even emulate random rampack wobble on the zx81!) As for getting it to throw the error, you should be able to stop the tape (assuming you've turned off flash loading)
The 'Load' error was the icing on the cake for me!
When i think of the number of people who pushed the ZX Spectrum to edge of its capabilities and then created software to push it further to do what SInclair never thought possible - What a generation ! I'm pretty sure i learnt all my patience from typing in pages and pages (and pages) of code only to find there was a typo and it didn't work. lol
I like this, it made me smile. I feel compelled to point out one little thing: the Spectrum, when loading a screen image, loaded the pixel state first (on or off), followed by the attributes (colour etc). The way you have the colours appearing last is correct, but unfortunately the 4 panes of the Windows logo before the colours are applied are shades of grey - this would not have been possible with the Spectrum. It would only have been black/white until the colours are loaded at the end.
It's such a shame the young generation are missing out on such a great piece of history. I am 18 yrs and no one I know of the same age seems to have even heard of anything older than a Game Boy :(
@TheStubdep Don't mention it :) Go to a site called World of Spectrum - they've got billions of games/software there. Download the titles you want, convert them to MP3/Wav, burn to CD and copy to tape :)
I just want to point out that this was a joke, and your response to it was immature, illogical, and completely uncalled for. If you haven't a sense of humor enough to have realized that, than why did you bother to click the link?
Trolling someone's page or video just to be a moron seems a little bit like *you* have the brain damage.
What a scintillating insight into my personal psychological disorders. God, you've really nailed my entire reason for posting this video - it's so clear to me now. You know I was so naïve that I thought that this was a brief, amusing diversion for fellow fans of 80's computing. But thanks to your scarcely-legible comment I realise that I can only have posted it due to reasons of repressed childhood abuse. Perhaps I can consult you for counselling? Please message me back if so.
He's just a scumbag troll. YouTube is full of them, one wonders where he gets the idea of child abuse from in the first place, maybe from inflicting or receiving it himself probably.
@EvilWizardZaks Dude, F&@% him! He can suck farts, straight out of my butt-hole (& like it!). Some people just have a genetic predisposition towards A-Hole'ish'ness. Don't let it bother you. Personally I love 80's computer, tech & especially video games. I like your video post. Thx for the upload. BTW, did/do you have a Speccy & or an emulator for 1? (I have Spectaculator v7.5 emulator)
PS: Just ban/block the twit form this post. (if you haven't already?)
Because he's an aggressive obsessional fucktard. Either that, or he was genuinely looking for proof that Windows XP can run on a machine with no hard disk and 48K RAM, in which case he's a disappointed obsessional fucktard.
@SouthwesternEagle The Spectrum used to have programs on a cassette tape, you had to play the tape and wait for it to load (sometimes took ages! and some even had games you could play while you wait!) the colours and noises are as it was
If only it were possible to really have Windows XP running on a ZX, then I'd ditch my noisy power-guzzling PC. If I ever find myself another ZX I'm going to load the sound from this video into it just to see what comes up.
Yup... That's how my office workstation boots up, only slower and slightly less colourful. :) Eh, I guess that's what you get when the company decides to go with the cheapest computers on the market, and also fire most of the IT personnel. Good executive decision! You all management lot do deserve your large payrolls, for coming with such a brilliant idea on your own!!
@gavenusman The ZX Spectrum loaded games from a cassette tape (ask your parents if you don't know what that is). Basically that noise you hear is the program code being played to the Spectrum. It was incredibly slow compared to modern standards, taking several minutes to load up to 48KB worth of data!
@tomscholes thats really cool. I wonder why it plays it back though? Anyway, yeah i know what a cassette tape is i use one a lot because I don't like digital recorders (their quality is not good)
@WhoWatchesVideos yep. On an off topic note: I really like to program in BASIC. I tried this and i can't figure it out. I know the one-key press thing is supposed to make it faster, but i really just prefer 10 print "booblah" 20 input a 30 if a = 1 then goto 40 else goto 1000 etc
@gavenusman I know i'm replying to my own post and i rudely commented at someone else for doing just that (but it was like a fight with themself) I also would ike to know about the flashing border? Is that related to the sound?
48k spectrum could display this graphic providing the designer was carefull enough not to include more than 2 colors (foreground and background) in each 8bit x 8bit pixel character grid on screen. In this case that could be done by carefully choosing the center of the Microsoft logo on the screen matrix.
Very funny. I'm glad there's still people alive who remembers how to switch on a Spectrum, use a spectrum drawing tool and an old tape recorder. Makes me feel not that old, after all :-D
im not what i find more amuseing. the actual clip which if i do say so myself is very clever and very funny. i loled alot and even psoted it to my fb page.
or

this was a clip posted to bring back memmories of what once used to be top of the range computer hardware.
but they used it as a way to joke more about windows at the same time.
like it how people say fake fake - OF COURSE IT IS! DER! If Microsoft could actually get XP into 48K or even 128K, it would be a sheer miracle of the lord.
-_- i has professional.you cant load WinXP on ZX Spectrum as it wasnt on this time. -_- is it a PARODY of winXP?i dont really know what but this is not a winXP but an OLD OLD TRASH OF DINOS TIME!

No shit Sherlock, of course you can't have more than 2 colours in any byte block on a spectrum, which makes the XP logo impossible, but credit where it;s due, THIS IS PRETTY COOL !!!
I guess you had to be there on Xmas day when you slid the box out off the cardboard, lifted off the lid, and gasped as the Spectrum squeaked it's way out it's box.
