Emulator Comparison Spreadsheet

[azesmbog]

Yes, this is the official Z80Stealth page and, alas, the latest release.
The author disappeared somewhere for a long time, it's a pity.
This is an emulator mainly of clones of the Spectrum, in particular the Pentagon. The Pentagon emulates almost perfectly, classic models are slightly worse, there is no support for contended memory.
Of the unique features - it can compile asm on the fly. file and run it right away
There is also a built-in editor for "pictures on the border" - I took part a little, and all my crafts are done in this emulator and editor

I wrote about the latest updates about the Unreal emulator.
The last update of one of the branches - 12/31/2020

Thanks [mention]azesmbog[/mention],

I misunderstood your original post, but now clearer. Thanks. Peter

Thanks for checking and the additional information.

Interesting you say based on ZEsarUX as I can't get Woody's test to work on ZEsarUX v9.2 even in 48k machine mode, maybe I'm missing a setting. FUSE is fine in 48k (not +2A) and RetroVirtualMachine works in all modes.

RVM (v2.0 Beta-1 R7) doesn’t really work. It shows two yellow stripes at the ground level and no flickering stripes at the top and bottom. This is incorrect.

P.S. Woody’s Special isn’t really intended for testing any machines other than the +2A/+3, so running it in other machines/modes is not going to provide any useful results.

Might not be perfect but definitely better than simply freezing like the other emulators do, I can at least test my new game on this emulator.

A small note and a bit of necroposting: in Eightyone you can select the 8 bits hd interface or the Pera Putnik interface and (manually) swap the +3 rom with a +3e rom and runs exactly as good as the +3e in FUSE. In most of the emulators you can change the +3 roms with the +3e roms, they dont need a hd interface and you can use most of the new features (text windows, etc) without hd interface. Zesarux includes a +3e rom to be used with the mmc interface (surprisingly only without floppy, as +2e).

Xpeccy was updated recently
https://github.com/samstyle/Xpeccy/releases

EmuZWin have an alpha EmuZ GL (but it is too limited)

There is interesting ZX-Poly emulator https://github.com/raydac/zxpoly

ZXMAK2 https://github.com/zxmak/ZXMAK2

And as a bonus

Thanks [mention]Bedazzle[/mention],

I have updated the sheet with the new version of Xpeccy.

We did mention ZX-Poly here, but it's not something I'm considering adding. I would rather stick with general emulators. I may if I have time in the future though.

Whilst writing I have also added a row for the new TTX2000S support in Fuse.

[PeterJ]

P.S. I should probably create a separate list of emulators that support the floating bus on the +2A/+3. My article just mentions a couple and it’s hard to find them as they’re buried in the text.

Did anyone create a list of these? If so, PM me and I will add.

[Alone Coder]

Unreal Speccy and Xpeccy support Z-Controller (SD card) with ZX Evo compatibility (ports #57 and #77 outside DOS, port #57 with A15 control in DOS).
Xpeccy and Es.pectrum support DDp's palette (RGB444 on port #FF in DOS (%grbG11RB with colour bits inverted, least significant bits in A15..A8 in the same order) , colour number selected via border port #fe/#f6 for extra 8 colors).

[Turtle_Quality]

Found this list today on a French site. Many familiar emulators here but some unknown to me and some very new

Dear [mention]PeterJ[/mention] the Link to your Emulator Features List is gone in your signature. Maybe you could add it again or place a fixed Topic/Link to it under "Emulators"?

[PeterJ]

Thanks @Luzie,

Yes, I will find a home for it. I need to spend some time updating it too.

Dear [mention]PeterJ[/mention] I found your "ZX Spectrum Emulator Features" List / "Emulator Comparison Spreadsheet" at: viewtopic.php?p=50045#p50045

I will request change rights to it via PM. May I include a row for "Emulator Unique Features"? (E.g. ZEsarUX is the only one where you can set the "ULA Databus Value").

[PeterJ]

@Luzie,

Thanks, will do that in the morning. Peter

[PeterJ]

The emulator comparison spreadsheet has had quite a few updates.

Updated emulators released since the last update include EightyOne, ES.pectrum, SpecEmu, InkSpector, SoftSpectrum 48, XSpeccy, ZXSEC, and LnxSpectrum.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

If I have missed anything from the earlier comments please do PM me.

@Luzie,

The link to the emulator spreadsheet is now on the page footer.

@Luzie,

The link to the emulator spreadsheet is now on the page footer.

@PeterJ thank you!

I´ve also added #CSpect which features a 128k Speccy mode and a line with SpecNext Video Mode (Enhanced ULA) and a line in System: Spectrum Next Emulation.

Hi to all

About REAL SPECTRUM (REALS)
Do not emulate Didaktik GAMA range but rather Didaktik Kompakt which is a Didaktik M + D80
Emulated: multiprint, specmate and softcrack rom too in hardware configuration / multiface on
Currently is the only one that can emulate MB-02+

Thank you! I´ve added these facts for RealSpectrum / RS32 Emulator to the list.

But not this, as these features are not in the list yet:

Emulated: multiprint, specmate and softcrack rom too in hardware configuration / multiface on

[zx_if1]

excuse me but in this pict I see that specmate exist only not was asociated to REALS
and I think if I'm not wrong about softrom is other name for softcrak rom

Sorry, I was wrong as I thought these things (Softrom, Multiprint and Specmate) are Software-Addon for Multiface. But these are all Hardware-Interface.
I added it now to the Sheet and RealSpectrum´s Capabilities.

Hello
about Jspeccy
can emule spectrum 80k -528k LEC w/. microdrives
is the only emulator that run cp/m 2.2 MDR version for 270/528 LEC

[PeterJ]

Thank you @zx_if1,

I generally avoid software written in Java because of its perceived security risks, but will spin up a virtual machine to give it a test. We will add this to the spreadsheet.

Peter

[zx_if1]

Hi
newly excuse me
only mentioned jspeccy because I see it in the spreedsheet but without MDR nor 528k




now, if anybody want try the cp/m 528k MDR emulation I write about it in
https://trastero.speccy.org/cosas/FLeon ... om_lec.txt
and
https://trastero.speccy.org/cosas/FLeon ... ec528k.zip
