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...

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...

Maybe... But I see the last version is too old (2015-05-18 - Version 0.8.0pre27) so I assume he is not updating it anymore

Tested on QAOP emulator and the z80 snapshot also fails. Also tried to save a 48k snapshot from ZXSP and same error on trying to load it on other emulators

Update: I've talked to Andy and the snapshots are saved using ZXSP. So it's probably a bug on that emulator...

i wonder what emu/tool produced that file. yes, it looks sane, and simply omits some info almost nobody is using anyway. but as Z80 has no signature, accepting all "sane" header sizes doesn't look ok for me, it is better to fix the tool. Yes, fixing the tool seems logic. It's an AGD game ...

Any idea what is in the extra 8bytes? I have seen custom z80 snapshot formats before like with the z80stealth emulator but it didn't load so can't be that. I also thought it might be SAMRAM but that should follow the standard format. Sorry I'm no help :-) Looking at these 8 bytes: 4F 08 01 00 00 00...

Hi I've recently purchased the itchio 40years speccy bundle. One of the games included: https://payndz.itch.io/dungeon-raiders Has two downloadable files: tap and z80. The z80 file can't be loaded on Fuse (gives me a libspectrum warning), RVM (crashes the emu) or ZEsarUX (my emulator). Looking at th...

Remember ZEsarUX is free software and gratis Download it from: https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux/releases/tag/ZEsarUX-10.1 Changelog: Version 10.1...

Hi You should try compiling from last source code. As @Luzie said, I’ve made some changes in the joystick code recently; also added support for hat joysticks and I guess yours is one of these. But remember: I can’t give any warranty that ZEsarUX could work with any kind of joystick, I should have p...

Thank you would be very appreciated, I don't have a dev environment on this machine You can download "zesarux.exe v10.1 Windows compiled from Source 2022-04-19" from it here: https://forum.tlienhard.com/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=13746 I assume that’s a custom build made by yourself. Be ...

Thanks a lot!

I answered the previous posts but haven’t seen this message. What did you do to fix it?

Woody wrote a game that only works OK if this thing is correctly emulated, it's called Super HALT Invaders . The score counter only works if HALT is OK. I don't remember what the second one tests, I think Woody can provide a detailed explanation if you ask him. Oh that’s very interesting! I’m plann...

Can I run this on my Pi400?

Of course. Compile it from source code, or wait a few days and I'll upload a generic raspberry compiled version

Hi I've already talked to Alone Coder about this subject ZX Baseconf emulation is not working on ZEsarUX. I've spent lots of hours trying to emulate but I haven't suceeded. Need to have complete documentation in English (when I tried almost everything was in Russian) and spend more hours again. Sorr...
