Title: HTML5 ZX Spectrum Emulator

From a coders point of view this is impressive stuff, it even works on the iPad! From a nostalgia point of view, being an ex Spectrum owner, this gives me a warm cosy feeling all over!  =D

I agree. I love the Spectrum too - and that emulator is a great technical feat.

Btw, since you're into Spectrum games...have you seen the two games I just released for the Spectrum? ;)

The Speccies looks amazing! Really great in game inferface and fonts and everything else!
The cassete audio version probably has those kriii kriiiiiii krrriiii sounds so pre 8-bits!
Great work!

Wow, pure Z80 assembly, good for you man, no easy job!  :nw: I'll try and spread the word on your games too.

BTW what was your dev set-up for coding on the Speccy?

LONG LIFE TO OUR LOVED ZX MACHINE!!!

:enc:

Thanks for the link....


For all people interested in ZX "real" machines, some guys we are working on a cheap ZX machine on a FPGA... more info at my blog... search for ZX-UNO or select zxspectrum tag for filter ZX.

:good:

I'm using Pasmo (the assembler), ConTEXT (the editor), SevenUP (for graphics work) and finally Spin (emulator).

I love spectrum too, when I was child, well too less colors, but the games are really playable more than a CPC.

In Spain the people are doing a real Spectrum with a FPG very cheaper if anyone wants one comment me, or I think Hark0 have more news about this...

Stay alert for the next year Relevo videogames lacunh to the market the sequel of "Temples of fire" seems will be a great production, very very huge project and always Relevo give the best quality in Spain in the 8 bits.
