Yes, but there will be Ebay Nexts for sale or clones like the N-GO.

Its actually a shame you cant just by the keyboards.

I avoid Ebay like the black plague and was interested in this current original version but till christmas no chance of having money for it.
It's ok, sometimes you can't have things you like to get.

Let me spell it out for you. I    have    no    money    atm.
Plus I don't want to get a used version, am interested in this current revision. But thank you for your offer anyway.

[Baggey]

I have two if anyone is the slightly most interested!

All but one stretch goal have now been revealed on stretch goal batch 2. Perhaps 'The Secret Core' will be an Amstrad?

[Steve Elliott]

With my Checkmate Monitor I worked out how to add scan lines and scale up so I have minimal borders.

[MikeHart]

Gorgeous. Simple gorgeous.

[Steve Elliott]

Thanks Mike, I did reset the scaling after and just kept some subtle scan lines (you can set the intensity).

Because some games use screen modes that fill more of the screen - like the Next version of 'Atic Atac' or 'Way of the Exploding Fist'. It near fills the screen because of the more square Checkmate screen (and the larger number of pixels used by some Next screen modes) not something you could achieve with a modern widescreen.

I'm still experimenting with the resolutions and scaling settings.

[Steve Elliott]

Yeah lol they're trying to get the Amstrad CPC running on the FPGA too:

[Steve Elliott]

ok I upgraded my pledge to an accelerated Next from an upgrade board pledge...Anybody want to buy an issue 1 for a great price lol?

It's an issue 1 board, not a 2 or the new 3 board, but all run the exact same software with 100% compatibility.

I'm just asking £50 as 'mates rates'. Now postage will bump up the price and I'm dubious about shipping outside the UK.

And @ Dabz I'm not trying to turn SyntaxBoom into Ebay, this is just a one off, people can pm me in private.

[Baggey]

I seriously think about a issue 3 with everything!? But i have a1, a2 and will there be a4   

I may just hold out theres the rp400 and the rp500. Its a matter of retro fiting into a next case!? There maybe be some Chinese entruprener who may produce the cases.
