It does what I need it for, running the odd Speccy game. I've had some other emulators installed before like ZX32 and Spectaculator (commercial). I may have tried FUSE but didn't stick to it for some reason. The market for Speccy emulators seems far wider than the one for Commodore emulators.

I ran the program on my PC with my favourite ZX Spectrum emulator Spectaculator turned up to 20 times normal Z80 speed in the drop down control menu. I initialized a new variable v$ at the start and wrote to it at line 236 onwards. At the end v$ held 1864 printable digits all perfect. MAGIC!
The slight alterations to the original program (posted by Eric Schraf on Facebook) enable the ZX Spectrum to store the output in a simple string. No 255 character restrictions on any ZX machine. This can be printed to the screen and the variable is saved when the program is saved. The BASIC starts slowly using two nested loops but quickens as the loops work downwards. Original BASIC runs on any computer with enough RAM e.g. ZX81, CPC464, C64 etc. This is now my favourite BASIC program.

Madre mía, cierto es que siempre quieres que vaya más fluido pero estoy tan solo probándolo en Spectaculator en el móvil y es un pasote.

Pues tras unas cuantas partidas al Mazinger Z de Clanbyte, he grabado este video con el Spectaculator 9 mientras jugaba la última. Hace largo tiempo que no subo ninguno a mi canal de Youtube...

Two pages of Colin’s paperback give some love for my favourite ZX Spectrum emulator, the PC version of Spectaculator by Jonathan Needle. It is so accurate with the ZX Microdrives and the ZX Printer. Well worth the small payment for so many models emulated.

Otros emuladores comparten las ROM originales de los varios modelos de Spectrum en alguna subcarpeta, pero en el Spectaculator parece que no es así.

No entiendo qué le pasa ahora al emulador Spectaculator... Acepta líneas con errores muy claros, en modo 48K, que no debería de ocurrir. Ver las últimas cuatro líneas.

¿Tendría que reinstalarlo desde cero?

Game changer (literally!). Spectaculator supports adding your own .tap/.tzx files.

I was inspired by your post earlier! I’m away from my Speccy but I thought I’d knock something together in mobile Spectaculator “over lunch” …but now I see it’s gone 5pm! 😅
