Description:
NEW: Zeal 8-bit Computer is now available on Tindie, check https://tindie.com/products/zeal8bit/zeal-8-bit-computer-developer-edition/ Hello, world! Let me present to you the Zeal 8-bit computer, totally built from scratch. You will get a glance at the making process, the memory mapping, the choices of components, and even some problems I encountered. Well, everything that makes it a computer after all! The key features already working: - Native OS fully written in Z80 assembly - ROM and RAM support with banking (both internal and external) - Support external extension card (for adding RAM, ROM, Flash, EEPROM, and so on...) - PS/2 keyboard support (targeting a full 104-key keyboards support) - 16 GPIO pins (some used by the system) - Software I2C - Software UART - VGA graphics support (powered by an FPGA) - *Text mode 800x600 resolution: 100x50 characters - Text mode 640x480 resolution: 80x40 characters - Text mode characters support up to 16 colors for foreground and background - Graphic mode 640x480 resolution: 16x16 pixels tiles, 40x30 sprites on screen. Up to 128 different tiles at once. Supports 2 layers, with transparency for the layer on top. - ** Sound support (powered by the FPGA) - 2 voices tested at the moment - 3 possible waveform: square waves, triangles waves, sawtooth - Frequencies between 20Hz and more than 20KHz Upcoming features: - Embed 32KB I2C EEPROM on the board (24LC256 is the best candidate currently) - Embed the FPGA on the board - Support for MicroSD (powered by the FPGA) - Improve sound: add more voices, add noise waveform - Improve software: add a Z80 assembler, add a BASIC (or similar language) interpreter, add some games, a user API for system libs - Fix some HW & SW bugs, of course It is still under heavy development as you can see, currently I am also working on an emulator that I plan to publish, when stable, on the future website dedicated to the project. Let me know if you are interested in using it, feel free to give me your feedbacks on the project itself. A Discord is now available to talk about Zeal 8-bit project!

Preparing download options
http://unidownloader.com/ website is the best way to download a video or a separate audio track if you want to do without installing programs and extensions.
The UDL Helper extension is a convenient button that is seamlessly integrated into YouTube, Instagram and OK.ru sites for fast content download.
UDL Client program (for Windows) is the most powerful solution that supports more than 900 websites, social networks and video hosting sites, as well as any video quality that is available in the source.
UDL Lite is a really convenient way to access a website from your mobile device. With its help, you can easily download videos directly to your smartphone.
The best quality formats are FullHD (1080p), 2K (1440p), 4K (2160p) and 8K (4320p). The higher the resolution of your screen, the higher the video quality should be. However, there are other factors to consider: download speed, amount of free space, and device performance during playback.
The browser/computer should not freeze completely! If this happens, please report it with a link to the video. Sometimes videos cannot be downloaded directly in a suitable format, so we have added the ability to convert the file to the desired format. In some cases, this process may actively use computer resources.
You can download a video to your smartphone using the website or the PWA application UDL Lite. It is also possible to send a download link via QR code using the UDL Helper extension.
The most convenient way is to use the UDL Client program, which supports converting video to MP3 format. In some cases, MP3 can also be downloaded through the UDL Helper extension.
This feature is available in the UDL Helper extension. Make sure that "Show the video snapshot button" is checked in the settings. A camera icon should appear in the lower right corner of the player to the left of the "Settings" icon. When you click on it, the current frame from the video will be saved to your computer in JPEG format.
It costs nothing. Our services are absolutely free for all users. There are no PRO subscriptions, no restrictions on the number or maximum length of downloaded videos.
