I spent a bit of time playing Valkyr this evening, and recorded my efforts.

This is the version from Geroge Beckett with fixes for the Minstrel 4th and RC2014 YM2140 sound card addressing.

This is a slightly loaded Minstrel 4th with a Jester Ace SD reader, Shiela Dixon's USB/serial keyboard interface, the RC2014 YM2149 sound card and Tynemouth Software's Boldfield compatible joystick card all attached via a RC2014 Backplane 5.

All cards used in loading and playing the game.

It's interesting that everything apart from the YM2149 is now standard on the Minstrel 4D Turbo.

This joystick card has had a Royal Mail journey worthy of an X-Factor contestant.

Put together yesterday and tested in the Minstrel 4th. Works a charm.

However, space problems with the RC2014 means I need to rework the Pi Zero Serial terminal and lower the card height to fit all the cards on.

I have a plan.

A picture of a Jupiter Ace displayed hires by my #minstrel4th . In the background is the .png and my conversion utility, all made possible by my keyboard adapter. I have some left, just ask if you’re interested. #RetroComputing #jupiterace

I love Forth! Grand Theft Cygnus needs to use Pythagoras to calculate the distance from you to the Queen. Here's a secret: the Vic version of uses an approximation because... assembly. But here's real pythagoras in Forth and isn't it elegant?! #minstrel4th #Forth
