I loaded up the BBC version of Football Manager just last night :) The match highlights aren't as good as the Spectrum version, but they were still nice to see

Now onto regular BBC games. I love old loading screens. Arcade Soccer seems to be about footballers chilling in the park.

Already had a 3.5 mm cable splitter, so I needed to then get:
- a 7-pin DIN to 3.5mm cable for the BBC
- a 3.5 mm female-to-female cable
- a BBC/Electron game where both versions of the game were on the same side of the tape.
It worked well though. :)

Such is the state of apps now that 'stupid AI bullshit' doesn't remotely narrow down which app you could be referring to.

As the miSTer BBC core doesn't support real cassettes, I resorted to buying an actual BBC, so now I can test BBC games on the TV and Acorn games on the miSTer.
Not sure where I'm going to store the BBC when I'm not using it though... it's a rather beefy setup.
