Description-en: Fast 48k ZX Spectrum Emulator for X11
xspect is the X11 version of Spectemu which emulates the 48k ZX
Spectrum, which uses the Z80 microprocessor.
.
It emulates the Z80 processor as well as the 48k Spectrum's other
hardware: keyboard, screen, sound, tape I/O. The emulation is very
close to the real thing, but it is still quite fast (It was reported
to be working well on a laptop with 486 at 25MHz!). On the other hand,
the user interface is not the best.
.
Features include:
- Sound support through Linux kernel sound-card driver.
- Snapshot saving and loading (.Z80 and .SNA format)
- Tape emulation: loading from tape files (.TAP and .TZX format)
- Optional quick loading of tapes.
- Saving to tape files.
- Separate utility to save tape files to real tape
- Configurable with config files and from command line
