FBZX is a ZX Spectrum emulator originally written by Sergio Costas. Now, a Wii port is being handled by 'Oib', and it just got its first version, which uses SDL Wii. These are so far the emulator features:
* Emulates acurately the Original 48Kspectrum (both issue 2 and issue 3), the classic 128K, the Amstrad Plus 2, the Amstrad Plus 2A and the Spanish 128K. This include screen, keyboard and sound (both speaker and AY-3-8912 chip). * Screen emulation is extremely accurate, so it can emulate border effects and even attribute effects. * Supports Z80 snapshots, both loading and saving, and loading .SNA snapshots. * Supports TAP (both read and write) and TZX (only read) tape files, supporting normal speed loading and fast speed loading. * Emulates up to 2 joysticks: kempston, cursor and sinclair1 and sinclair2. * All the wiimote, nunchuck and classic controller buttons and joypad are fully configurable. * Virtual keyboard support. * Emulates the Interface I and Microdrive. * Emulates the ULAPlus * Based in a new, fully free, Z80 emulator (Z80Free). |
And here are the installation instructions: Untar the binary release on your SD card, which gives you a structure as follows:

Put .z80 and .sna files in /fbzx-wii/snapshots or .tap and .tzx files in /fbzx-wii/tapes on your SD card.
The rom are in /fbzx-wii/spectrum-roms. Although Amstrad is the current proprietary of the copyright of the original ZX Spectrum ROMs, they have kindly given their permission for its redistribution with Spectrum emulators. |
