Back to 8-bit with Hermski. (Paul Davies)
United Kingdom
Приєднався 3 січ 2021
Let's go Back to 8-bit with your host Paul Davies, AKA Hermski. Playing through old retro games on the ZX Spectrum, CPC, C64, consoles and more, using real hardware, Emulation and the MiSTer FPGA system. Looking at some of the technology, software collections, new and old, helping to keep 8-bit history alive. We may even sneak in some 16-bit goodies too. But hey, anything retro will still be included.
We also cover many retro events out there too which incudes Q&A chats with the folk that made our hobby so fantastic back in the day. We're proud to be the official channel for the Crash and Zzap Fusion Retro Events.
We aim to catalogue as much as we can, along with many others to keep the candles burning after we are long gone. We don't do this for profit or fame, and we don't claim to be professional You-tubers, but we do this out of our pure passion for our hobby.

"Primary 6 pupils at Bearsden Primary school (Aged 10/11) have once again been working incredibly hard to code games for the ZX Spectrum using Jonathan Cauldwell's AGD (Arcade Game Designer 4.8)" "They have learned so much about basic coding along with debugging, animation and level design. They have also created their own loading screens and learned how to attach these to their games." dougie9...

At Wolverhampton Racecourse. Most footage was recorded fairly early in the day before being tied up in the talks area. I managed to get some limited shots done in between the talks. However I did set up another camera on time lapse shown at the end of this video. Enjoy. Were you there ? Let us know. See you next year.

Two legends are still missing! One from Germany called "Chris Huelsbeck" and the God of 6581 Martin Galway.
I absolutely loved this as a kid. Wow
Definitely had a Stamper on it. When they did Gyruss, they certainly set a new standard in British arcade gaming
Reset is easier to find using the up key as the menu is circular!
Shit man full colour!! Zx Spectrum 128k had great graphics but the games could only hold a few colours
I just used to listen to the tape in the end. The game was superfluous to the wonderful soundtrack.
I like the zedx.
I would definately buy this.
Damn I totally missed this (I live about 3 miles away and never knew...). Will definitely head over next year....Used to work with Dave at Psygnosis and Acclaim. Unstable times for sure (both studios closed down). Dave's a top bloke!
@@psprogYea Zzap is back next year. Also the Crash event is in November this year.
I used to work with Mike at DMA Design. My programming pawprints are on GTA and "Wild Metal" (aka "Wild Metal Country" on the PC) too -- although I apparently liked it rather more than he did! ;-)
@@PatKerr1 oooh, good work. Thanks for the comments.
Thanks for recording these. It really brought the memories flooding back. It's honestly strange how well I remember some of these things from 40 years ago, when I was only 10 years old!
@@PatKerr1 Cheers. I loved these back in the day too.
Haha, I’m a vampire - I don’t come out on film.
I love Uridium, what a classic.
"I didn't ask for this..."
Thats amazing ..i absolutely loved the game and the box art wow ..this is just perfect with the spectrum feel
Such a great little management game. Although the longer you play the more advanced you'll get until you're completely unbeatable.
@@hazy33 Yea agreed. One of my favourites.
why is this guy whispering? are you bob ross? trying to molest me?
really wish I could hear whats being said :(
@@mcdiskett2003 yea that's the reason why we have stopped streaming them now. We now record it so we can edit the sounds from the difficult surroundings.
footage was fine don't know what the fuss was about 🙂
@@speedbird737 cheers, the edits improved it, and was probably only noticed on a larger TV screen. Thanks for the positivity buddy.
@@Hermski thanks! Keep up the great work!
I loved this text adventures back in the day. I was playing this series on the Oric, as it was released on virtually every format of the time.
Quite popular on the C64 too IIRC? I particularly loved it's concept of having NPCs that have a background of their own, in that they move around the game map, if that's me remembering it correctly?!
Wow
I love watching these live events.
@@colinthomson7518 cheers, glad you enjoyed them
Ive messed with the key/remap options on the neo geo core and now have two buttons recognized as C and no B button anymore. Cant figure out how to reset it
The IMG International Tour Tennis music that Rob said was bad...oh boy...it is: ua-cam.com/video/ILw8vOO9-Sw/v-deo.html
@@RichAnderson00 brilliant, thanks for sharing that. Enjoyed listening to it again 🤣🤣
Great little video again you're always first to post ,lol fastest UA-camr on the planet😂😂 your friend and fellow UA-camr Retro Robbins 😅
@@retrorobbins I try my best not to keep people waiting 🤣🤣. Keep up the great work on the Retro Robbins shows.
Always look forward to seeing your little videos, from the events you do a fantastic job as a UA-camr myself it's good to see other UA-camrs promoting 8-bit , sorry I didn't get to chat to you more hope you enjoyed the rival section Retro Robbins
@@retrorobbins Thanks Wayne. Your channel is golden, and I fully recommend it. I didn't get much of a chance to chat as I'm just too busy between talk room and event filming. I am planning to leave the camera rolling unattended in the future. I tried that method for the Graftgold talk. Thanks for the kind words.
Many thanks for sharing all your recent ZZAP Live videos so quickly, is there any chance of a copy of the photo you used in your thumbnails please as I made the artwork for the guest speakers to sign and would love to have a copy for my portfolio, thanks so much in advance :)
@@gazarnott Sure, your artwork was amazing, great work. Happy to share the original photos I took. I've just sent you a friend request on FB so we can exchange email addresses to send them to you, or over messenger.
@@Hermski Thanks so much for this, so very greatly appreciated! :)
@@gazarnott no worries, look forward to catching up with you at Crash in November.
Superb! What a fantastic event it was. This was the first time I attended with a stand under my The Design Droid alter ego so it's great to see this time lapse of the day. Nice one!
@@StooCambridgeArtist Thanks Stoo. Your stand was amazing too. Caught it on the tour video too.
@19:37 Had to pause the video to go look up Leitch's Chicken Song on deepsid :D
Thanks for uploading. I missed this talk, so great to enjoy this front row seat 👍
@@newdlesmusic cheers, glad you enjoyed it. It was a fantastic talk too. Thanks for the kind words.
Great video and great talk! I was there yesterday sitting down at the back wall seats beside Jeff Minter and Giles, I kid you not 😮 he was laughing all the time and loving the banter
@@marksherman73 wow great company for you. Glad you enjoyed it, and yea, that talk was golden.
there i am at 26:58, musing over the immortal joysticks edit: i really should have had a go at rouge declan and cecconoid, ah well edit: 32:55 as well, playing ridge racer, and sliding all over the place
Great event I enjoyed the day and thanks for the videos! The raffle was a FAIL for me - I had purchased lots of tickets but was sat in the large Talks room and didn't realise they were drawing the numbers in the Retro room until I saw this time lapse - a number for the grand prize was drawn too and not claimed (because the winner was probably in the same room as me) hope Chris reads this and improves it for next year.
@@speedbird737 yea fully enjoyed the day too. I really appreciate your thanks. I was in the talk room too, but there was a pre draw announcement in the talk room and corridors about 5 minutes before the draw. Sorry you missed it.
@@Hermski ah well thanks
@@speedbird737 what were your ticket colour and numbers by the way?
@@Hermski don’t worry I checked with Chris partner later at the main hotel entrance and she said it was a 2 series number that won mine was 47x series in green I think - don’t have the tickets anymore threw them away (had 4 strips) thanks again
@@speedbird737 that's a relief then, you've not lost anything as I can confirm that only one set of green tickets were drawn and that one got claimed.
me at 7.05 in the back there, looking at the plus4 :) edit: video ends just after 3.30pm when the raffle draw happened, after that i tried the c16 and exorcist to the left of the plus4, tho the stick was broken, i couldnt move left!
Wow, good spot.
I was sat in the audience - great talk!!
@@speedbird737Yes, agree. Hope you enjoyed the day.
Hermski you are on fire, brother! Nice work on all this sweet video!
Is there a recording of any of the talks today? Would love to listen to the Rob Hubbard talk.
@@stevepoynter1975 yes correct. The talks will be uploaded one at a time over the next couple days.
@@Hermski Fantastic, thanks (+1 Sub from me for that!👍)
Is there any progress? It sounds strange (I don't know if that's my feeling) thanks
@@JFML1974 yea it was recorded when the BETA version came out. It's now fixed
Thank you for creating this video. I am replacing a bad capacitator in a Casio ct770...thanks to your video I know a conversion to a modern option is safe and cheap!
I played this back in the day, got so far then lost my way and never managed to finish it. Nice to see it played again 40 years later.
I need to know where to go to repère in london
It's not working for me. I keep getting an error screen after the main loading screen. It's says "Exemption Error Handling" and it's green. Either that or I get a white screen or one with red writing that says "Warning: Bank Error." I have followed everything you've done I your video. I even checked me ram in MemTest and I have 128mb and it passed all cycles so no issues. Any ideas? I used Darksoft though which is recommended. Maybe I should try the same set you have? You didn't have an XML file I noticed. Don't need one for Neo files right?
"One hundred yew eff" Sorry but I couldn't watch any more after that 😞
shame this isn't a talk-through as well as a walkthrough - would be very nice unintentional ASMR with your voice
Primary school memories right here
Man you are WAY better at this then I am Hermski!
@@AmigosRetroGaming Cheers Aaron, looking forward to your take on this later on.
You can run the same code at 2.4x speed on a sam coupe with 1mb external ram or use sim coupe emulator on the pc
