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.

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

The Morning Star (2026) by Dareint for ZX Spectrum.

A letter from Yvain. A village where news vanishes. The Void is advancing, and only you can help. Classic 8-bit text adventure with dark undertones, puzzles and inventory management. Originally a 2017 project, now reborn via DAAD.

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.
