This is a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128K emulator.
The emulator is cycle based to provide the greatest accuracy. However, there is an issue concerning contention that needs to be addressed. The only game so far that noticeably exhibits the issue is "Aquaplane".

Designed to be as simple to use as possible:
- Drag 'n drop interface for loading tapes
- No menus; a simple heads-up is provided
- Function keys F1-F12 for external interaction
Use your favourite USB joystick, gampad or the keyboard (Cursor keys & TAB).
- Sinclair interface 2 (both players)
- Cursor
- Kempston
- Fuller
- Programmable (2 players)
Supports both stereo and mono configurations:
- ABC stereo
- ACB stereo
- Mono (default)
Tape loading can be either from an external source via the mic socket on your computer or through the emulators drag 'n drop support.
The only tape file format supported is .tap files. This is the only format to fully support flash loading/saving.
Tape saving is accomplished similarly either through the headphone socket or via drag 'n drop. If saving to a file, data is ALWAYS appended (corrupted files are treated as read-only).
NOTE: It's highly recommended that tape files are marked as read-only in your filing system to prevent accidental corruption.
-fs - Start fullscreen
-ws n - Window scale (default: 2)
-keys - List emulator function keys
-vd $ - SDL video driver: wayland/x11
The video driver is necessary for keyboard input source layouts. If you want
this emulator to use a different layout to other open applications, e.g.
QWERTY instead of DVORAK, you may need this option set. Quite simply, if your
keyboard layout isn't being honoured, try x11 or wayland to match your
display server.
There are no plans to support the X/Y flags.
This emulator is for the best of the Sinclair models only. There will be no plans to add anything else.
No plans.
