FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

Guys,

I've compiled FUSE - Spectrum Emulator for our tablets. It's not hildonized but it has gtk2 ui and works ok (n810 or bt keyboard is a must though as it does not work well with xkbd). It depends on libspectrum and libdsk which I have also provided. The packages are very rudimentary. They can be downloaded from:

That's pretty funny. Anyone remember a Spectrum game that featured the River of Venom, which I now call the freeway that crosses Mulholland in the L.A. area? You also had to avoid giant cockroaches.

Unfortunately, I think those old games are buried several strata below the civilization I live in now.

Dear old Speccy!
Can't wait to get home to try it out!

Will it run on 770 OS06 ?

Have fun!

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

This might be a good time to mention my spectrum emulator:

http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/maemus/maemus_0.1.deb

It only emulates 48K spectrum, and is less accurate than fuse, but it is faster
and has on screen keyboard.

It also has per snapshot hardware keys configuration.

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

Yay! This is great news, as I couldn't get the Fuse port to install on 770.
Will I need any other libraries, or is everything in the .deb ?

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

For 770, use this deb:

BTW, the source is also in this directory.

I get "Unable to install, Incompatible package" :(
Running OS2006

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

Sorry, that package is for OS2005. Please try the first package.

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

Yay, it works! And what a neat-looking emulator with a nice keyboard!
What formats does it take tap/zxs/txz/scl/sna/z80/dsk ?
I've tried a few, but most I've gotten is a garbled loading graphic followed by a quick reset. Have you found any images that worked with it?

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

z80 and sna, but only those for 48K spectrum. If you have such an image that fails, please send it to me, and I will investigate it.

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

Speccy-Maemo will support .tap, .tzx, .trd, .scl in both 48kB and 128kB modes. See my signature for the link.

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

Cool! Does it happen to run ZX81 software?

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

Yeah, but it's OS2008, I am running OS2006 on 770

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

No :) Mostly because it has never been a goal.

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

I remember a few people reporting that they ran VGBA on 770. Speccy uses the same Maemo-specific code, so it should work too. Try it (you may need to install it manually or ignoring deb dependencies).

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

I'll try it, but I am a bit concerned that the gui tool reports that it's missing:
libatk1.0-0(>=1.12.2)
libc6(>=2.5.0-1)
libcairo2(>=1.4.10)
libdbus-1-3(>=0.94)
libdbus-glib-1-2(>=0.74)
libesd0
libglib2.0-0(>=2.12.12-1osso3)
libgtk2.0-0(>=2:2.10.12-0osso15)
libhildon1(>=1:1.9.46)
libosso1(>=2.13)
libpango1.0-0(>=1.16.4)

Quite a long list there, so I doubt it would work.

Anyway, should I just use: dpkg --install /media/mmc1/install/spectrum/speccy_1.6.1-1_armel.deb

Re: FUSE - ZX Spectrum Emulator
 

It installed (from the console) but wouldn't start.
