Is Enterprise capable of running games from cartridge (if yes, then are there any?)? I think that I've read a long time ago that there would be problems with that... but don't remember why...

I think there should no problem, just it should be done like a normal EXOS_ROM. It could be called from anywhere (Basic, WP, EXDOS, ...) by :game name, like I made a ROM version of SPEmu. I did not think there is any cartridge game, at least i have never seen

There are also the Pasians.rom and the Cyrus.rom.

And of course as Geco says, the superb Spemu is an emulator on Rom playing games on Ram with the Spectrum Rom protected.

I think Pear can help you in an about cost of the cartridge If you make a recartridge from your game, I will buy one

Thanks Gflorez I did not see any game cartridge earlier.

But talking only about Roms, not of cartridges, there is already address memory and phisical ways to put them on the Enterprise... Ask Zozo.

For example you can remove the internal stock Rom and put a bigger flash Rom.

Or, if you are the proud owner of a SzörG's Sd-reader, there is still a little space on the flash inside the cartridge to put a homemade Rom.

New versions of Exos made by Zozo even let you emulate Roms if you have the necessary spare Ram. They pervive a soft reset.

Owners of Microteam Exdos clone cards have also space to put Eproms or flash Roms on it.

As you can see the Enterprise is not closed to Roms.

Cartridges are and where very cool, but it is a fact that cassettes worked very well on the Enterprise, compared for example with tape loading on a Sinclair. I suffered it for years as my previous computer was one  ZX Spectrum .

Even so, how much Spectrum cartridges do you know?

Ok, it was not the same case as you needed an additional  ZX Interface 2, but for the common user a tape offered more advantages than a cart. You could copy the game to a friend on a cheap cassette.... even modify it or add pokes...

For a user the real upgrade that far times was to have an Exdos card and be able to load a game in seconds instead of minutes. A box of floppys was more desirable than a cartridge, and cheaper(not counting the expensive interface...).

But that where only my thoughts, is adventurous to say why things had happened.

I understand you, cartridges are a concept, begin and end in their selves,  closed boxes of fun.




Is for that I have emptied one of my two Basic cartridges to put inside my lovely SD-reader.....
