    ZX Spectrum Emulation

    in Emulation

    Posted

    @zorkiii you will find a lot of systems are a pain in the ass to get up and running , but zx spectrum is pretty strait forward. For a start I would advise you to extract the Roms from the archives, I know this helps a lot in my experience with the speccy . The fuse core in retroarch is ok but you need to bring up the on-screen virtual keyboard to input. The Sinclair research screen you mentioned is the default basic operating system when you turn on a spectrum , just like the c64 blue screen with commordore 64 basic v12. Which means the emulator has not loaded the Rom you selected.

    I've looked into Amiga, and as far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be any discernible commonalities between the game box covers. Unless I'm missing something.

    you are correct , Amiga did not have a standardised theme for boxart. i just made a generic overlay for systems like thisamiga-View.thumb.png.ebebc5d2865bd696b497c53c3bf92cd3.png 

    Almost at 100 systems BUT......

    FmTowns works in mess/mame just make sure you have the matching bios files for your version of mame.

    i was using old bios files from .151 but had MAME.193 installed and they are not compatible, they change the files.

    For mame .193/194

    I use Spectaculator emulator , but that's just my preference.

    Its not free tho , but is the best speccy emu imho.

    of course there are ways to get it for free if you know where to look ?.

    Google is your friend ?

    It supports all major zx formats , .tap .tzx .sna .z80 etc.... 

    Has a really great GUI is easy to use.

     

    About to ask for a refund....

    I think the issue here is you're trying to do this massive massive operation on an external drive.

    Why wouldn't you do all of this on an 8 TB Internal HDD instead? If it were me I'd do it on an internal and then copy over everything to an external drive as a backup option if something goes wrong.

     

     

     

    it has nothing to do with external hdd , my collection is on external and never had a problem.
