Happy to see people appreciate all my explanations.

You’re welcome

Anything they WANTED it to do, I mean. Yes. Lots of people are doing things using ZEsarUX, not just me (the author) ;) Anyway, it’s difficult to answer all the questions you have in your thread, I recommend you to read Next documentation. But I’ll try to answer the important things: -tbblue and Nex...

What I not have seen in the past are the Icons to interact with ZEsarUX. I must have a look on how to enable this. But it will make usage of ZEsarUX much easier. Example-Menu:

Just go to settings-gui-ZX desktop and enable it

OK - I got this to work! Thank you for the instructions @chernandezba You're welcome! I will try to make a video capture of the process that might help others. Thanks! One thing I notice on your emulator, the sound effects my game makes are quite different than on the real hardware. Yes, it could b...

3) if it’s a file you need to copy on a eprom card, you can insert an existing eprom image file or create a blank one from the storage menu. Then use the same menu to copy a file from your pc to that eprom image for the life of me I can figure out how to create a new eprom here. All it lets you do ...

Hi You can load a file on a Z88 ZEsarUX emulated machine by different ways: 1) if it’s a Basic txt file, you can open the Z88 basic and then use the ZEsarUX debug-spool menu to load the txt file. ZEsarUX will then send every letter in the file as key presses 2) if it’s a eprom image file (.epr, .epr...

Hi Folks, I'm new to this forum and I'm having a problem with this emulator. When I try to use a Dandanator ROM as storage the program crashes. I have tried on 2 x Windows 10 PC's and both have the same problem. The Dandanator ROM works fine on my 48K Spectrum with Dandanator. Is there anything I c...

Yes! A game name for all my favourites: Version 9.2 - Cliff Hanger edition. 05 April 2021 Version 9.1 - Toi Acid Game edition. 26 November 2020 Version 9.0 - Turbo Esprit edition. 17 August 2020 Version 8.1.1 - The Great Escape edition. 2 March 2020 Version 8.1 - The Great Escape edition. 25 Februar...

@chernandezba

Can anything be done about this?

I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it. I don't add any version restriction, blame Apple about this

You must compile it by yourself

Oh I've just seen a previous post from someone else viewtopic.php?f=23&t=4653

Hi! I have uploaded a new ZEsarUX stable version 9.2! You can download it from the releases page: https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux/releases/tag/9.2 There are compiled versions for Linux, Mac, Windows and FreeBSD. The source code is available (as always) Changes in this version: Version 9.2 - ...

Both RVM and ZEsarUX emulate the zxuno the same way: only the Spectrum core is emulated. Otherwise, we would have to emulate the full FPGA, which is completely beyond my goals

Hi! I have uploaded a new ZEsarUX Release Candidate version 9.2. The final stable version will come in a few weeks, so stay tuned! You can download it from: https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux/releases/tag/9.2-11032021 There are compiled versions for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac and Windows. The source c...

Well the UI has been improved a lot. See for example: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chernandezba/zesarux/master/screenshots/screenshot_zxdesktop_buttons.png Don't get me wrong, @chernandezba., I like it a lot. I know :) I was just showing to people that a lot of work has been done to improve th...

I've never tried ZEsarUX, I'll give it a go, thanks! It's got a very different UI to what you may be used to and you have to invest some time with it, but @chernandezba has written some excellent help screens and it's very powerful. Stick with it. Well the UI has been improved a lot. See for exampl...

Anecdotal I know, but I believe it to be true and not a story.

It's a small world!

Yes, I know it’s true, when I said a “story” I meant a real fact, not invented. My written English is not as good as I thought, and that word it’s maybe a literal translation from Spanish

Cheers

Hi there I've just discovered a very curious story from years ago that I would like to share with you... If you remember the great Spectrum emulator by Gerton Lunter (called "Z80"), maybe you also remember it had something called "SamRam interface". Well, this interface was a rea...

You’re welcome
I’m glad you like it

Oh I see

But if he has downloaded the binary version, all the commands he tried (configure, make) have failed (because they don’t exist in the compiled version)

Thanks Peter for mentioning me :) As you see, ZEsarUX has some video drivers that are text based (curses, stdout, etc) and some others that are “pixel” based (sdl1.2, sdl2, xorg, cocoa...). No matter what operating system you use, if all compiled well, you should have a full “pixel” based video inte...

Can't make XBox One controller or my arcade Hori Fighting Stick Mini 4 work: only buttons do work but directions are ignored... :( Windows 10 20H2 SDL Go to settings->hardware->real joystick support Try first joystick information and press directions. Are these directions shown on the window? If th...

Hey! Great news! The Dacia Sandero... Sandero? Really? Are you trying to compare ZEsarUX with the ugliest car in the world? I mean, I've given ZEsarUX 9.1 a shot and the QL emulation does seem to be getting there - though my main gripe is now that the "Setting mode 412x256" splash screen ...

Hi You need to set machine Spectrum +3, go to storage- +3 disk menu. Select the dsk file , enable dsk emulation, enable plus3dostraps and pd765 But this +3 disk emulation is in beta stage, only programs that use standard rom calls to access the disk will work (I hope), but not anyone that use direct...

New ZEsarUX stable version 9.1 🙂 You will find, as always, compiled versions for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac and Windows. The source code is available, as always. Remember ZEsarUX is open source software, licensed on GNU GPL, and no cost! This new version comes with QL and TBBlue (Spectrum Next) fixes, impr...

Welcome. I'm sure @chernandezba will come back to you. Thanks Peter for telling me :) Sadly this is a quick answer: No, you can't use two joysticks at the same time. ZEsarUX will only recognize one of them. There need to be done lots of changes: joystick driver changes, emulation core, etc... so it...
