I've been in touch with you before regarding XZX, but I was just browsing the page to check for version updates and thought I would leave a note. Thanks once again for a great emulator. It's great to relive the good old days. All your hard work on the emulator *IS* greatly appreciated. Thanks.

XZX kicks ass ! It's the best Speccy emulator for UN*X' and soon enough' for all platforms ...

Nostalgia.... too bad the computer industry isn't what it used to be...

Great work!

Hehe, had a spectrum long while ago. Just compiled and tested the emulator. Can't wait to try it out!

Yes I remembered that old times when I was young and my father brought home my first computer - ZX 80, then it was Spectrum, Delta... and then PC...

You would not believe it, but in times of socialistic government in our country Sinclair was used as an industry computer for controlling production processes... because of embargo and prices of "real" computers, Spectrum was used as cheap computer in state companies...

But best were the games, of course...

Well well well... you definitely are *hard* to find. When I first saw XZX 0.5.4 on sunsite I grabbed it immediatly... only to find that the thing would not compile.

One and a half years later (!!!) I found the new XZX home page... and d/led the new XZX, fervently hoping that it will compile and run on my machine... a dual PPro is somewhat different from a Z80 :).

Great job on keeping the Spectrum - the first PC IMHO (C64? What's THAT?) - alive and well (err..) after all these years.

Many thanks for a great emulator matey. I can get back to playing Formula 1 by CRL now :-)

Just wanted you to know your work is appreciated.

Makes me remember the long nights my brother and I passed together while trying the latest games we (he actually) collected somewhere. I loved it then, I still love it now. Now, if I can just locate that box where I put all the old spectrum tapes...

I remember the ZX computers from back then. I always wanted to own one. But I mostly fancied the Jupiter Ace. Do you know it? It's a Forth based computer somewhat like the ZX. I would love to be able to find one.

Thank for keeping computing alive.

I think youīre doing a great job with this page! As a former ZX Spectrum user, Iīd just want to say itīs good to know the platformīs still alive (if only in a few corners of the world). I got my ZX Spectrum 48k 14 years ago and that first impression still lasts! *l* I also got me a Discovery I and made an external keyboard as well as a joystick. Sadly I sold all my equiptment many years ago to buy and 8886. :-(

Well, keep up the splended work and keep on playing those good old games; They donīt make anything like them anymore!

Best regards Henrik.

Please Help Me!
I had my first ever computer for Christmas 1987, an original +2 (grey model). Very recently I have resurrected it from the loft and despite my best attempts, the sme fault still appears that I had about a year after I had it. Whenever I use 128K Tape Loader or go to 48K and press J"", the flashing cyan/red border does not appear. In the old days I would blow into the tape deck or slam it down really hard and this would fix it. However I need a permanent remedy. If you can help please Email me.

Thanks.

Can I just say.... a most excellent piece of software. I'm in Nostalgia Heaven. Don't think my boss will see it quite the same way though.....

Thank you!

I own a ZX 48k and a +2 with +D interface... So I already registered the Z80 emulator under DOS... But I switched to Linux and now, my machine runs most of the times under Linux...

So I discovered Xzx... It's nearly as great as Z80... In fact, as it runs under X, it's a little bit slower... But it's more portable and I think that on SUN or other similar it'd be a lot faster ;-)

It's a great job too... continue this way...

Hallo,

freut mich, zu sehen, dass es noch mehr Kunzes mit Sammlertrieb gibt. Wir haben im Dachboden das Kunze Museum of Technology, natuerlich auch mit Sinclairs und Zubehoer und C64s, aber auch noch mit mechanischen Rechnern (das sind so kleine Dinger die aussehen wie eine Registrierkasse, oder auch schon groessere, mit Drucktasten - einer mit und einer ohne Elektro-Antrieb). Auch einen der ersten Notebooks haben wir natuerlich - Tandy 102.

Allerdings habe ich z.Z. noch keine Tausch- oder Verkaufsambitionen, aber falls sich die Lage einmal aendert - ich hebe die Adresse auf!

Herzlichst,

WK

Actually, I was looking for the debugger instructions. I have some important coding work to do with XZX - gotta get infinite energy into Glider Rider...

Thanks for a seriously funky emulator, allowing me to relive those days when I had an Issue 1 ZX Spectrum 48k. (Ulp...)

Hallo !

Immer wieder schoen zu sehen nicht der letzte zu sein der sich noch mit dem Gummi Speccy abgibt.

So einfache Gassenfeger wie JetPac oder AticAtac sind er heutigen Jugend zu langweilig. Vorbei sind die Zeiten der 8mal8 Curser, den 8farben auch der BEEP Befehl fehlt mir! Ich hatte das Glueck mit meinen Speccy erwachsen zu werden, gibts sowas am PC auch? Wenn ja dann sicher nicht im Sincliar Basic!

Your XZX is the BEST ZX emulator all over the world in SOUND of AY chip! Great! But should be ACB stereo and next version should have better sync and border and multicolor effects (see OverScan demo from BusySoftware)

it seems as if english were the usual language here in your guestbook, so why not write in english? To us: We are the leading team of Germanies biggest Spectrum Club called SPC with its domain in Cologne/Germany and better known as WoMo-Team in the scene. We do "our job" since January 1990 and we still edit a papermag since then monthly with 16 pages DIN A5.

We use of course an original Spectrum 128, +2 and +2A, however not a +3. We also use several Emulators for ZX81, Spectrum and the very unknown SAM Coupe. On some meetings we saw your Emulator, not knowing that you are the autor of this. We cannot omnid to say: its superb!

So we will download first your shareware version for testing it out. Therfore we have a lot of connections to ex-USSR Speccy owners and programmers who all work with Pentagon (avaiable for 149 US$) we think the full version could be good for us.

Till next and yours sinclairly, your WoMo-Team

Your emulator sounds wonderful!

Any chance of making an Red Hat Linux RPM of it, for tidier installation?

David Davis

Since version 2.9.1 XZX is also available in RPM and SRPM format. This includes the contribs and the demo version.

31.07.1999 18:40:48

I have a zx80 computer, - upgraded to a zx81 ,probally have the original chip tho'- i t has the white original case etc.

Also ( I think ?)there is
 a 3k ram extension,
 a 16k ram pack
 a 3 channel sound pack

It's been in storage for some years ..it 'Should" work but I can't say for sure right now.

ZXlink sounds marvellous! Emulation is great, but I agree that to have the whole experience one needs to use the real thing. Loading from old tapes that have nearly demagnetised is not fun.... so ZXlink sounds like my dream come true.... if I can find a lead long enough to reach to my speccy and TV from the PC in another room!

This really does take me back.... All I need are some old copies of Computer and Video Games and Crash.... oh and get my mother to drive 100 miles to get me a cup of tea and biscuits:)

I hope someone starts a windoze port to take this to a wider Spectrum loving audience.

Thanks for your contribution

I'm very happy to see there are still people who love the good old games and machines. I had a C64 long time ago, now I'm playing all the games (like Bubble Bobble, Jet Set Willy, Chase HQ,...) on my Psion Series 5 with the z80 Palmtop- Emulator 3.1. It feels like falling back into my carefree childhood. If someone wants to send me selfmade POK-, SCR-, Z80-, TAP- or SNA-Files: YOU'RE WELCOME :-) (unfortunately I never wrote programs so I don't know nothing about Sinclair Basic, and it's hard to still find something about it in German language).

Many greetings from Austria, Mark HERMANN

I never actually had a real Spectrum , but a romanian clone called MicroTIM+ , who works as well as the original thing, but I'm a great fan of that little machine (ok, i do own an original but it's damaged ..

Anyone got the electronic schemes and the PCB layout of issue 3 please mail me!!)

This emulator works very well , and as soon as I get my hands on some money I'll order the registred version!
