This new ZEsarUX version, called "ZEsarUX ",

Sh*t.. obviously the new ZEsarUX version is called "ZEsarUX X" (with the X) not just "ZEsarUX " (and a blank space)

Thanks for the answers @chernandezba, Regarding Twitter, it was supposed to be a humorous comment linked to Twitter rebranding to 'X' https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/24/elon-musk-x-rebrand-twitter-tesla-everything-app :lol: Noooooo.... the X on this ZEsarUX version has nothing to do...

Thanks @chernandezba, Are you following the director of Twitter? I don't know what you mean It's great to have another update. Whilst its an excellent emulator, I have to admit that the sheer number of features can often be completely bewildering (maybe it's my age!). I know you provide help files ...

Thank you!

I've had my ups and downs with ZesaruX, but I still think it's very special and I like the direction it's going.
One of the few emulators, which supports Sinclair QL.
Keep up with the good job.

Thank you!

Happy to announce that ZEsarUX is 10 years old! Let's celebrate it by downloading the new version, ZEsarUX X ! :D https://youtu.be/kpIEw9fi3ZY This new ZEsarUX version, called "ZEsarUX ", is a special edition for the 10th anniversary, so the first ZEsarUX version was born 10 years ago. The...

@chernandezba I see you've created an ID. Will you add screenshots too, or should I do that?

I’m sorry, I don’t know what you mean

Hiya. I've been trying to get to grips with this emu but I always have problems with really glitchy menus and windows: https://i.postimg.cc/WdHc5GSC/Untitled.png No matter the display settings it always ends like this. I'm using version 10.3 on Windows 10 x64 Pro with an nVidia GTX1080ti with the l...

I'm really looking forward to it. If possible at all, please add write support to eDSK files, it would bring significant quality to +3 disk emulation. If you use an extended dsk file for writing and you write “normal” data (something that is not used to write protected disks) it should work. If you...

@chernandezba These days, I've been testing a lot of heavily protected +3 games and when I saw this announcement, I couldn't resist trying it too. Virtually all emulators that support the +3 model work fine with unprotected games and with them the overall stats look pretty good. I narrowed down the...

Hi chernandezba, what are the 15 disks ?

After a long time, I have tested this version, mainly because of the +3 fdc emulation, but this claim is still too ambitious. Almost all protected games which I tried, do not load at all, saving with copy programs doesnt work, similar to SpecEmu and other emulators, which are based on Woody's fdc76...

Hi! You can download a new ZEsarUX stable version 10.3 :) https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux/releases/tag/ZEsarUX-10.3 Version 10.3 - La Abadia del Crimen edition. 10 May 2023 There are lots of changes in this version, but some of them are remarkable: - Added machines Amstrad PCW 8256, PCW 8512...

Maybe because I will try to implement some features for my own? :) I think about font extractor, something like already done in javascript, but more sophisticated: Nice! You can use the Debug->View Sprites window on ZEsarUX, and use the key S to save sprites/charset About that error when compiling,...

New ZEsarUX 10.3 Beta version! You can download it from : https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux/releases/tag/ZEsarUX-10.3-Beta1 Attention Windows users: this release (probably) has the definitive fix for those annoying and ugly audio clicks :) Please test it and see if it's fixed for you. Apart fr...

Thanks @chernandezba, Does this version support the latest Spectrum Next Distribution? Not yet ;) In the last year there have been some Next core changes that use the boot process and the NextOS. They are complex and couldn’t afford it on 10.2. But it will be added on next 10.3. The good news is th...

Download it from: https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux/releases/tag/ZEsarUX-10.2 The changelog for this version is: Version 10.2 - Hysteria edition. 26 October 2022 * New things added: Added configurable icons to the ZX Desktop. These icons can: -Open windows, fo...

Great! I didn't know about this piece of hardware until I found that ZesarUX could emulate it. I wrote an entry for it in the Spectrumpedia, volume 1 page 178: https://www.alessandrogrussu.it/sp.html The photo in that page is taken from a video on YouTube, also mentioned in the book's sources, wher...

@chernandezba I tried again on another PC with Windows 10x64 and ZEsarUX 10.1: After pressing two times F3 (="Pause") the Emulator completely hangs here. Has too kill it via Windows Task Manager. Not yet find time to test on Ubuntu or MacOS. I used ZEsarUX 10.1 this morning (I was previou...

Besides that i view the Z80 export as 'conformant'. The header extension length is correct, it's just not a match to any version produced by the original Z80 emulator. From what i understood at that time, other values would be perfectly legal. Btw. at that time i wanted to barter some extensions to...

Hi These days I'm currently working on fixing HiLow DataDrive Emulation on ZEsarUX. It's very close to be finished: can format, read and write files. I think you should read the article here (in Spanish, but you can use google translate): https://www.elmundodelspectrum.com/se-consigue-emular-por-pri...

Tried myself. Pressing F3 for Pause once is working (and another key to resume from Pause). But there seems a problem with pressing F3 key multiple times: This seems to hang ZEsarUX completely. @chernandezba could you please have a look? Luzie I've tried that and pressing the F-pause key again just...
