Lol, that's the best emu name I've heard for a long time.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

And thanks for porting this and for continuing your work on the Xbox. It's great to have another XPort-quality emu to add to the already impressive collection.

Thanx a lot for BEING the scene....

If u give us a Sam Coupe and a BBC emulator we have most of the 8bit greatness completed!!
If u can port an Archimedes emu as well...it will be awesome!

OMG!!! XPort, wow!

This is the only thing I felt the Xbox needed. Spextrum is good and everything, but it was unpolished and charcarius grew bored with the project. Thank you SO much. I'm off to try it now.

OK I've tried the emu out and it's just lovely. XPort what I am about to say is really picky, but I just wanted to know why there is no sound when loading a TZX image, like the horrendous noise it makes when loading, I like this little detail to be there is possible (like in Spextrum) just to add that little bit extra authenticity!

Also, when playing games from tape in tzx format, (I know not many people do it, but it's nice to have the option for the hardcore Speccy fans) do you think it would be possible to add the controls for play, stop rewind tape etc like in Spextrum? maybe add the tape counter too that's in the windows version of FUSE. I'm quite sure it's there anyway.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks again XPort!

Whoops, forget what i said about the play/stop buttons and tape counter I've played a few games that require multi-load and it seems everything loads automatically.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

It's pretty much perfect really.  Cheers

XPort, thanks so much for v2! Didn't know it was about till I read this thread. With the tape sounds now working, this is without question the finest Spectrum emulator out there on any system! Perfection once again.

Cheers XPort! you've made us British Speccy fans and oldskool gamers alike very happy indeed.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

About the +3, +3a emulation, it seems that it doesn't accept .DSK files, only .TAP. Does anybody know if there's something wrong with Fuse?... and inherited to didnXspectrum perhaps

About the GPL thing pak21 is right. If he/anyone wants the source, the license should be respected, but pak21, knowing a bit about xport releases, I'm pretty sure the source will be published when it's pulished and ready. He is doing this winning nothing , just  people's 'thanks for the work' and their respect for a port that nobody else has done in many years. Isn't it the time for a perfect spectrum emulator? Come on, let him a little space to breathe please.

Thanks (a lot) to both for making this nice thing possible

(sorry for this engrish)

@ Pak 21, Without the Xport port I wouldn't being playing this Spectrum emulator at all, cause I don't as a rule play any games on PC, surely the most important thing is that as many people as possible play this superb emulator and I think much respect goes to both yourself and Xport.
The source will get released in the fullness of time - relax dude and enjoy the fact that we're all praising your emulator.

After playing this emulator a little more I've ran into the same problems a few other epople are talking about. Namely the problems with the keyboard controls. It seems when you have the Joystick - Keyboard option enabled some of the keys on the keyboard don't work. This means some games arn;t playable with a kempston joystick, so you either have to use keys or try to use a sinclair joystick if the game allows it.

I'm not really sure why the Joystick-Keyboard option is there, or what it does, but it seems like theres 3 different options just for using a kempston joystick, why is it not just as simple as choosing what joystick you want to use and be done with it?

Has anyone else worked a way around this bug?
