ZXAM V2
The latest version of the best Spectrum emulator on the market. Features include: - Emulation of a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k. - Stabilized 48k sound. - Load/save to tape, or redirected to disk or to ARexx scripts for use of complex tape formats, like .TAP. - ARexx port with 93 functions. - Fully multitasking. - Automatic speed adjustement. - Optimised CPU usage. The CPU time not necessary for the required speed is given to the others tasks in multitasking (a 1200/030/28MHz can run two copies of Manic Miner in multitasking at full speed, and 10% of CPU time is still unused). - Full emulation of the Spectrum 128k sound (AY-3-8912), with white noise, volume waves and 3 channels of 4 bit samles. - The stereo follows the ABC and ACB distributions used by the AY interfaces for Spectrum 48k (the left side contains the 48k sound and the A channel, and the right side contains the B and C channels). - Dynamic assignation of the noise channel for 48k or 128k sound. - The Spectrum's screen can be put inside a window over any public screen. This is possible even with RTG emulations, like the Retina one. The emulator tries to adapt to the colors available in the screen. - System friendly screens can be used for the Spectrum display, even when disabling multitasking. - Emulation of Kempston, Sinclair (Interface II) and Cursor (AGF/Protek) joysticks. - Includes a transfer to save to tape complete games. - Real border, but not synchronized with VBlank. - Flash emulated (only special AGA version). - FASTER version for more speed, but with a less accurate emulation. - The emulator adapts to the available hardware. If no sound channels or CIAs are available the emulator will disable automatically the options that uses that hardware. - The hardware needed for the emulation is allocated only when the emulation is running. - The windows of the emulator (both the control and display window) are appwindows, so you can drop snapshotsd inside to load. - Custom tape interface, much cheaper than a sampler. - You can run several copies of the emulator in multitasking. The only limit for the number of copies running is the available memory and the CPU power of the machine (or the patience of the user ;-) - Step-by-step execution of Z80 code, Z80 disassembling and breakpoints. - Full emulation of the R register. - Full emulation of BCD. - Emulated all the undocumented instructions of Z80. - AGA version can work in B&W or Color mode. ** WORKS ON ANY MACHINE WITH AN 020 PROCESSOR ** ** FASTRAM RECOMMENDED **
