ZX Spectrum emulator (48K/128K/+2/+3). Accurate and cross-platform, with support for tape, virtual disk, and snapshots. It covers the following system: ZXSpectrum.

1. Installation

  1. Grab the latest version from the project's official website.
  2. Extract the archive into a dedicated folder.
  3. Launch it once: it will create its configuration and subfolders.

2. Supported formats

.tap .tzx .z80 .rzx .scl .trd

3. Good to know

  • These machines often boot to a command prompt: you launch the game with a command, not from a menu.
  • Emulation speed matters: too fast and the software becomes unplayable. Look for the speed or cycle setting.
  • The keyboard is the main input device; the emulated layout may differ from your own.

4. Not working?

  • The game doesn't show up → check that its file extension is among the formats listed above.
  • The software runs too fast or too slow → adjust the emulation speed before anything else.
