Spectrum Computing

Hi there! Version 1.1 of ESPectrum, our ESP32 SoC based ZX Spectrum and Pentagon emulator, was released this saturday. You cand find detailed info about its features at the Github project page: https://github.com/EremusOne/ESPectrum and download latest binaries at the release page: https://github.co...

I might be getting confused from the video (which is in Spanish, with I don't speak sadly) Can you connect a wiimote and use it as a controller? Yes but not directly, I use this adapter connected to the ESPjoy: https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bitdo-retro-bluetooth-receiver-for-the-original-sega-g...

*Threads merged by admin* Hi there! We've launched recently version 1.0 of our ESP32 SoC based ZX Spectrum 48, 128 and Pentagon 128 emulator.

No stand alone emulator for Windows? There's a quick and dirty port to SDL done by David Crespo here: https://github.com/dcrespo3d/ZX-ESPectrum-SDL2 It' based on a now outdated version of ESPectrum and audio and video output and timings are not quite precise. It was made mainly to help with develop...

Its a great emulator - I am using it too :) I think there is a joystick add on in the works? Tyvm Jbizzel :) Version 1.0 has a new joystick system that supports two joysticks of up to 8 buttons through ESPjoy adapter (which is a DB9 to PS/2 adapter sending ESPectrum special scancodes which will be ...

@Eremus released version 1.0 of ESPectrum a few days ago. https://github.com/EremusOne/ZX-ESPectrum-IDF/releases I was lucky enough to get the Olimex ESP32-SBC-FabGL board from Santa, and found flashing the board really easy. I'm looking forward to the full documentation appearing soon. Hi Peter! G...

What about adding keyboard to joystick remapping too? For games requiring extra keys like Z, X, for jump, grenade remappable to button 2, button 3 of modern arcade sticks like 8BitDo... That's exactly what's on the roadmap as "Joystick revamp" for 1.0 ;) https://i.postimg.cc/v42KR6fF/ESPE...

Thank you for making it.

Tyvm Jbizzel

There are nice improvements coming soon for version 1.0: folder support and real joystick support through Antonio Villena's ESPjoy board.

I'll update as soon as we publish new release

Hi! It's difficult to say I think. I can only tell you about my experience: I started to work on ESPectrum about one and a half years ago. I never had written a line of code for Arduino, ESP32 or similar platforms and the last time I started a C IDE was about ten or more years ago. Now, ESPectrum is...

Hi again,

Habi has told us that there is no problem on his part and has explained that when he named his emulator, he realized that there was already a website called espectrum.speccy.org.

Luckily, the owner of the website also had no issue with this coincidence.

Regards!

Great work, Tyvm :D but this is not the same thing as es.pectrum is it? That question was answered here, to an user with the same name as you, some time ago: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=120495#p120495 because if they are different, I really think you should consider a dif...

Hi there, We've just published the latest release of our ESP32 SoC based emulator. These are the release notes: New features: - New Spectrum model: Pentagon 128. - Betadisk emulation with read/write TRD & read only SCL support. Available in all Spectrum models. - Dual PS/2 keyboard support at bo...

Hi Peter, Great project! Tyvm ;) For the UK readers, please could you confirm this is the correct board from Olimex board that you mention? https://thepihut.com/products/olimex-esp32-sbc-fabgl?variant=42484410253507 That's the right board yes :) Are there any plans for English language installation ...

I just installed my Lilygo board with the video and info @ Github, @PeterJ. If you like you can also turn on CC with auto-translate. As the instructions in the video are only for the Lilygo and Antonio's board, I think the Olimex one needs different instructions anyway. Hi there! My teammate, David...

I like this project, really nice job. Antonio's offer is currently out of stock, Is the price of 39 eur with or without the Spectrum case ? Is it possible to load from an audio source, like ZX-Uno or at least pzx/tzx for custom loaders ? Thanks Pegaz! 39 eur is the price for the board only. With re...

Then give it a try, I'm sure you'll like it

Even if your board is a 1.2 version (older). ESPectrum runs on TTGO VGA 1.2 and 1.4 boards because it doesn't need PSRAM.

Hello! After a few months of work and preparation, and after presenting the project on Saturday, June 3rd, at RetroReal (Ciudad Real, Spain), we are proud and excited to introduce: https://i.postimg.cc/5Hvpx21G/ESPectrum-logo.jpg What is ESPectrum?
