  • Uses Video drivers: X-Windows, SDL, Cocoa (Mac OS X), Framebuffer, ncurses, aalib, cacalib, stdout(console), simpletext(console)
  • Uses Audio Drivers: PulseAudio, Alsa, SDL, DSP(OSS), CoreAudio (Mac OS X).
  • Supports dumping audio & video to file
  • Supports real tape loading of file formats: RWA, SMP, WAV, TZX, CDT, TAP, P, O. It handles loading of turbo load tapes or any type of tape loading for standard/non standard loading routines
  • Handles binary tape format files (TAP, TZX, O, P) on standard BASIC ROM routines for ZX Spectrum, ZX80, ZX81
  • Handles real audio loading (RWA, SMP, WAV) on standard BASIC ROM routines for ZX Spectrum, ZX80, ZX81
  • Simulates real tape loading on standard BASIC ROM routines for ZX Spectrum, ZX80, ZX81

  • Supports Input spool text file to simulate keyboard press
  • Supports reading Pokes from .POK files
  • Debug functions: Registers, Dissassemble, Breakpoints (PC, Conditional, Peek), Step-to-step, Hexadecimal Dump, View Sprites, Find byte (useful to find POKEs), CPU Transaction log, View BASIC
  • Accessibility support: Print char traps allows to capture generated text from almost any program or game, using standard ROM calls (RST 10H) or even non standard print character rutines. Can send generated text from a game to a text-to-speech program. It's ready for text to speech support for blind or visually impaired people. Menu emulator can be also read by a text-to-speech program.
  • Simulates upper RAM memory refresh on Spectrum 48Kb, losing its contents when changing R register very quickly
  • Other features not enabled by default on compile process: MEMPTR emulation, Visualmem menu, CPU Statistics
