ZX-Spectrum / ZX-Evo / ATARI 1024Ste / PS2 / PSP / PS3 / PS4

I have got a Russian clone of ZX-Spectrum which was made in Russia, exact model of my very first computer. It is a “MAGIC-05”, also known as “KVORUM” which looks identical with some hardware adjustments. It has some very cool hand-made improvements as 128K (vs original 48K) and a music co-processor AY-3-8910. It also has a BETA-Disk controller and GOTEK-emulator with mods such as rotary encoder and OLED-display. In addition, I have ZX-Evolution (ZX-Evo) which is a next generation of ZX-Spectrum. ZX-Evo is not an "old machine", but it continues the proud tradition of Spectrums in the 21st century. It is a new computer model based on the z80, compatible with Spectrum and Spectrum-related models. In addition to ZX-Evo peripheral I have GS-Sound card and WiFi-module (ZiFi module). I have also ATARI 1024Ste with 4MB RAM and floppy disk emulator GOTEK with OLED-display and rotary encoder. In addition, I have a few Play Station gaming platforms PS2 / PSP / PS3 / PS4. I have built a Batocera Debian-based all-in-one retro gaming operating system which holds a collection of 80000+ games/images in all-in-one console for Retro gaming such as Sega, Nintendo, Wii, Atari, PS, PS2, PSP, Gameboy, SNES, DOS, MAME, and others games.

ZX-Spectrum NEXT, an original ZX-Spectrum and some new features for ZX like DIVMMC, ATARI/AMIGA, any Play Station related platforms and peripherals, NES, SNES, Sega.
