Hi Shedsters!
It’s shaping up to be a really busy time in the Technoshed. We’re busy working on new games which we hope to share with you lovely people very soon – some of them will be on display at Crash Live, talking of which, if you order and select the no post option, and say you’re collecting from crash you’re reserving your games/cables/controllers to be collected at Crash sans postage, but don’t forget to actually pick them up!
We now have 3 different cables you’ll find really useful for your next!
- The Scart cable for using analogue video – the next looks amazing on a CRT. SCART
- The tape cable for loading games from a cassette deck Tape Lead
- PS2 Splitter cable for connecting a PS2 mouse and a PS2 keyboard to your next/ngo/xberry-pi at the same time. PS2 Splitter
We look after games for a whole bunch of developers now:
Rusty Pixels for Rusty Pixels
WASP for WASP
Cavern for Cavern
Greenman for Greenmansoft and Bret’s Amiga MOD version of the music.
Last but definitely not least:
TX-1696 for Technoshed and Lucky Red Fish’s TX-1696 and Music collection (including limited edition vinyl – there will never be another run!)
We also still have the fantastic 8bitdo M30 2.4G controllers which are perfect for the Next (and the sega Megadrive!) 8bitdo
Torvin: Echo of the Realms is progressing well – I’ll just share this to whet your appetite :
If you’d like a gameplay taster don’t forget theres a demo available at:
https://technoshedsoftware.com/torvin-echo-of-the-realms – the graphics have moved on massively thanks to the amazing talents of Zingot. There are multiple pieces of AY music in progress for the later levels. We can’t wait to share more with you!
I’ve written a simple plugin for searching for Spectrum Next games. I’ll be sharing this with all the other sites that are written on wordpress. I’m also working on a version that Fusion can use with their shopify based site too.
You can try it out here:

I’d love to hear your ideas and suggestions. The intention is to keep all the next sites in sync so wherever you find you games list, it’s complete. I’ll be sharing the plugin soon!
We will be taking a few Nextduinos in the next style case – it has a couple of extras with it only for the show!
Thanks for reading, and remember,
Keep it Techno!
