Just like the old Speccy. Controls are a bit clunky but rooms work well with it. Great app
Love this app. I use it on my Chromebook where I can add a joystick if needed or just use the keyboard on certain games. I never had a Spectrum as a kid so have got the next best thing with this app. Games work really well and some of those old Spectrum games are fantastic, free and give hours of fun.
Good emulator but the file selector toolbar only works for the free apps.Developer , I'm not stupid, I have purchased all your apps but the toolbar will tell you that you don't have the app and guide you to download the free version. Please check it out, ps its been this way for years.
Bring the old back to life!! Amazing and nostalgic!! Thanks guys !
This emulator is great just like the ColEm emulator, but didn't you need to update fMSX, like updating the icons, using more stuff, using different versions of the MSX computers, changing it to disk basic and command prompt and more?
There's a huge flaw with this. The colour scheme for the buttons in the screen corners is not colour-blind friendly. I could not read the text on them, I had to get my daughter to tell me what was on them. This isn't a trivial issue, one in 10 men (one in 30 women) suffer some level of colour blindness.
A great Speccy emulator with all the features I require to enable me to play Elite on the go :) I've now upgraded to the deluxe version which I think is well worth the low asking price.
Great app a must have for retro gaming and retro gamers
Charging to play games which they didn't make when there are free emulators around. Hmmm. Edit: Really disgusted by response that you don't have to pay to use this, I tried to play a game and it wouldn't let me without paying.
Not a bad program. Would like to add covers as some of the ones program finds are wrong got far cry 5 for the big sleaze but that is only problem. Thanks for letting me know.
My keyboard issue is fixed i use swiftkey keyboard on my phone I think this was the issue as when i used stock keyboard seemed to work, thanks for the support I've had a play on the app and works amazing, I'm just wondering if i can get this downloaded onto my firestick so i can play on tv 😊
How do i reset a game to start again? i start a game without defining keys, so i open menu and hit reset and it opens basic. It's saved basic as a save state so that's all i get now.
Excellent free spectrum emulator, unintrusive ads (just shows you an option for some full price emulators each time you quit a spectrum game), and also emulates the Sam Coupe :)
Crashes every time I quit a game. Show stopper for me that. Shame as emulation and controller support is good. Will try another emulator
My phone is old but Speccy works well on it. Not many of the games I like are playable on a touch screen but I still like that I can carry them with me.
A retro buzz! I love playing these old games from my youth. So dated but so much fun. Thank you for this way of playing them again!
ace just ace. gives me those good 80's feelings. really great emulator. just takes a little time to work it out. like the real thing. i love it
Maybe it's just me but I managed to get some games and even play them but now it won't load any of the games now so a little disappointed because I was having fun for a while there..
Works brilliantly. Loaded up several of my old favourites, all seem to be working fine.
Poor. No instructions how to change controls. Absolute waste of time! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!
Really like this, has some good features, seems reliable too. :)
Used to work flawlessly with dig running through retroarch, now its completely useless.
Had issue and found out it was me that was causing it developers helpful . Great app :-)
Really good, just about the best Android emulator I've seen. I'm going to get the full version - it would be great to see support for the Recreated ZX Spectrum keyboard. It's fine for most games but it doesn't pick up Symbol Shift. But really. This is superb work.
