ZX Spectrum Next: C64 and QL cores in KS#3
-
In a project update mail to previous Kickstarter backers, Henrique Olifiers set the date for the third (and likely final) Kickstarter campaign for the ZX Spectrum Next project as July 19th, 2025.
The ZX Spectrum Next issue 3 will have two new cores: a complete Sinclair QL core with support for the SD card, WiFi, joysticks, expansion port, Real Time Clock, 65K colours and dual 68000/68020 CPU running at 44MHz, and a Commodore 64 core with HDMI (with sound) and VGA output, joysticks, cartridge and D64 disk images and tape loading via the audio port.
The announcement has yet to hit the official site, so stay tuned if you missed the previous KS.

Note that the QL core is already available (although an improved version is in the works), and the C64 core will also be available to KS1 and KS2 machines.
