I didn't get much sleep, but I got lots of bits! And now it's time for a good nap.

Probando las ROMs oficiales en Español. A continuación voy a estar agregando otras ROMs no oficiales para varios otros idiomas.
Testing the official Spanish ROMs. Up next, I'll be adding extra unofficial ROMs for various other languages.
In a second pass, unofficial ROMs will go under the "Custom ROMs" menu, so the mechanics will be: start any supported machine you like, then replace the ROMs as desired.
Third pass: compose your own Spectrum from the set of hardware features implemented, and call that a new "Machine".

The ZenZX emulator used to have not even a semblance of user interface beyond what the ZX Spectrum itself displays. I'm now bringing into ZenZX the vaguely Spectrum-inspired GUI toolkit I had created for Zenimate. With a little luck I'll be making it easier to use for human beings.

This is starting to look more polished.

I've been doing a little cartography work for the ZenZX emulator, mapping out what compatibility features exactly are yet to be delivered.

ZenZX is getting Timex Sinclair 2068 emulation. Just because.
This may not look like much but it's the output of a small programme plotting on the screen in so-called HiColour mode.
Also adding Kempston and Sinclair joystick emulation, plus Kempston and AMX mouse emulation.
A Timex Sinclair 2068 is like a Spectrum with extra graphics, and the same AY sound chip that was later inherited by the ZX Spectrum 128k, plus Kempston joystick ports, and some fancy memory modes.

Bow Commander
by Shrek / MB Maniax, 2026
https://shrek128.itch.io/bow-commander
BC looks genuinely interesting, it's a file manager and viewer inspired by Midnight Commander / Norton Commander for the ZX Spectrum 128k + EsxDos

What ZX Spectrum project should I push later this week?

Have you used zenimate yet? It runs, and from the looks of it, it walks!

This is not a keyboard, this is a little miracle.

Auf Wiedersehen, Monty!
Auf Wiedersehen, Arbeitswoche – willkommen, Wochenende! -
I tried Swordwork, by Inufuto (on my emulator) and I'm favourably surprised! The most notable, and frankly absurd metric of this game is that it runs on 119 different platforms (primarily 8-bit platforms but also some 16-bit ones like various IBM PC configurations). 119!! And according to the developer's log it was developed between April and July this year.
But judging this game by that metric alone would be doing a disservice to retro fanatics, it's a simple but quite entertaining old school game, the graphics are competent, and it even has music in 128k mode! It's not the smoothest sprite movement I've seen, but still more than acceptable in almost every category and it fits in only 11 Kb, which is an impressive technical feat, especially for a game ported across so many platforms!
Its simplicity is a feature, not something against it, and It's better than average in technical achievement and in game design. That has to count for something.

NEW: ZSP is now the umbrella website for all my ZX Spectrum stuff
Wrapping up a full week of refactoring, patching, and releasing several projects that had sat stalled in various states of completion for the last two years. Their documentation, notes, and artefacts now live in one central place.
A few older projects — zxa, zxgotools, and zxdisk — are now deprecated, superseded by this new set, which I intend to keep maintaining for the foreseeable future.
A blog is next, along with a few other things on the backburner, but they didn't fit into one work week. These projects had already waited long enough — the genuinely new stuff will just have to wait a little more.
Here's to the next two years of ZX Spectrum development!
