Well, its been on my HD for over a year but I thought I should release it. Its improved a lot since the first release. I noticed Xport released DidntXSpectrum (based on the same source code as FuseX) and this inspired me to release my emulator too.

Oh, and this is fully open source...

Hope somebody likes it.

Ace! thanks very much.

Saw a couple of posts about this on the WOS forums, but didn't really expect to see it here

*goes off to search 'the usual places'*

Thanks again
Ebsy.

Fusex is fantastic! It playes every game I've tested, and plays them perfectly!

Thank you so much, for such a superb emulator. Manic Miner (and rewrites) , Fairlight, Head Over Heels, 3D Deathchase, ZX Heroes, Split Personalities, Atic Atac, Jetset Willy (and the rewrites), the Monty games, and about a million more...

The XBox was missing a perfect Spectrum emulator, and now it's got it. Didn't XSpectrum is very good too, but I prefer the feel and menu system of Fusex.

But why did you make us wait a year for this?  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grr.gif)  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grr.gif)  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grr.gif)

This is what we like to see, a little bit of competition!  

This is excellent news, I'm gonna check it out now.

BTW does it have sound when loading a tzx file?

Cheers!

Excellent emu btw,
I have a problem with the game bounder by gremlin graphics, the game freezes when you die, but on xports spectrum emu it works fine, know why ? , i actually prefer your fusex to didntxspectrum apart from this problem.

Hi. Glad you like the emulator.

Try messing with the "R Register Save & Restore" option. This should fix it. Not a great solution but it should work.

Great Emulator, looks and feels exactly like the real machine when running in 50hz on a CRT TV  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

IMO, runs and feels better than any PC based Speccy emulator, due to the Xboxes 50Hz mode.

thanks, that works, so what is R Register Save & Restore, what does it do exactly  

also are you still working on this emulator ?

 if so how about an option for having the spectrum run a bit faster somehow, as some of the games could do with a bit of a speed boost, probably interfere with the sound but that wouldnt matter too much.

btw I like the small font, its like the one from the hobbit adventure

Hey skratchy, what hardware filter is fusex using?

Also I've found that found that .rtx compatability is better in fusex than it is in didntxspectrum.

Thanks again for your excellent port.

When I try to launch a .dsk file FuseX complains that I need lib765 and thus the game doesn't load, none of the disk image games work. Where do I get this lib765 file and where do I install it?

Thanks!

Nobody knows?

Sorry, I can't help you, but the author of FuseX regularly posts in the emulator forum of the World of Spectrum (      http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/   ) under the name Crabfists, see the post at:

http://www.worldofsp...ead.php?t=11043

so you'd probably be better off asking him. If you find a solution then please post here.
