Great app, although I have a problem with it. When I go into landscape mode the keyboard goes across the entire screen and I can barely see what I'm doing in game. Searches through settings, couldn't find how to make it smaller. Other than that, this app is really amazing. Edit: yes, I knew there was a joystick mode, but the game I'm playing on this is elite which can only be played with a keyboard.
Works fine on my phone, but not on my Nvidia shield(even if it says it is compatible) , because I don't have a touch screen so there is no swipe down option. If there is any other way to access the menu would be great. Edit, I actually found out that it works, but forgot to change the review. Still in zx spectrum emulator I couldn't find a way to use the Nvidia gamepad, no matter what settings I change. It only works with keyboard.
Brilliant! Great emulator. For those who say they can only see the main screen and keyboard, you need to swipe the top of the screen and it should give you options on which games to load. The only small downside is that there's no sound when the games are loading. I'd love to hear the good old Speccy 'noise' just to re-live the childhood memories again.
Excellent for getting a little ZX on the go, and the author has been working hard to improve it over the years. One of the first apps I install when I switch to a new phone. With screen filter turned off it looks quite crisp and it loads (virtual) tapes with far less hassle than the aging real hardware - which in any case wouldn't fit in the pocket! Also the flexible joystick mapping is quite handy since it seems no two games ever quite agree on the mapping
The app looks great, works great, brings back to good old days... However, I miss the save state option that works. Namely, there is the star in the menu, but by clicking it, no state is saved. So there is the option, it's clear how to use it but it does not work.
Really good emulator has worked with everything I've tried on it so far and connects to websites for you to get games. I feel could be improved with more control options while the touch screen joystick does have a good selection of option for the various interfaces and the commonly used qaop it would be nice to be able to redefine it and some extra definable buttons would also be useful in portrait mode do get a space and enter key with the joystick option but only single button on landscape
I used to use this app often, to play one of my favourite games using a TZX file format saved on my phone. I took a break from playing, and returned to find the UI changed beyond recognition, and I'm unable to find a way to use my TZX files any more. There is a range of games listed inside the app, none of which can be 'found' or used. This was by far my favourite mobile emulator, which I recommended to my pals often. Almost feels like the end of an era again, hitting uninstall. 😥
Yet another emulator which doesn't allow virtual keyboard and chooses to give a rubber keyboard key entry instead of the 48k+ model. This makes it a nightmare to play adventures. Try as I might I could not get the keyboard to delete, space is inconvenient and I have no idea how to save, even though there is save state. Good functionality for downloading games though.
The best and smallest Spectrum Emulator for Android. I have used it for years. New version confused me on new phone with sdcard. On my phone I had to copy my games to the directory mentioned on the internal memory not external sdcard. All my favourite games are under 10Mb in total so not a big issue. I keep a backup on external card so I can reinstall again quickly if I need to.
A very "Meh!" emulator. Compared it to my real stereo-modified +2 and ZXDS (which I deem to have perfect emulation). This emu: 1. Has no multicolor support(or any color tricks of real thing); 2. The sound is wrong (center channel should be quieter than the sides); 3. Really blurry. Nearest neigbor magnification is uneven and annoying. No integer scaling. Overall experience is even poorer even than the real device (which is a feat!). I still have to carry my DS for proper Speky gaming on the go.
Doesn't seem to work after pie update. Impossible to access the controls or buttons. Tried swiping from all directions. Can just about see the fast forward button (dark gray on black?) but that's all
Good app. Unfortunately, had to uninstall as I no longer have access to my game files. Also, cannot move files to required folder. It would be nice if the app could allow user to select folder.
great app, love it! just one small thing missing when you toggle to "joystick control" with the mobile on horizontal it should have one more button on the right side. having problems playing allot of games on my phone because of that...
This is awesome. Is there any way of changing the interface of my bluetooth controller (i.e. between kempston/sinclair/cursor etc)? It only registers as qaop, and on some games this isnt ideal. Thanks for the great app.
Used to be amazing, but now the three dots menu doesn't appear so you can't load games
Would be excellent if you could swap port for Sinclair joystick interface and define keys for joystick. As is Space Raiders is not playable, for example.
Awesome, just awesome. One thing, I would allow user to reduce keyboard transparency in landscape mode of full screen. And add donate button into preferences. Thank you guys.
I have a Galaxy Tab A 10.5 , I can't access the menu ...I have tried swiping top to bottom and the black bar appears but no menu options ...it works on my phone just fine . Any ideas please?
Looks the part, but I can't play the games with a game pad. All the original spectrum joysticks are options??? Is there a way to set it up to use a Bluetooth game pad?
This is excellent. I wanted to play Professional Footballer on WOS, it stops the tape to enter your details. How do you start the tape again?
Excellent and easy to use spectrum emulator. Works with my gamepad as well - perfect!
Good emulator, with extremely good file repository browser. But not enough options.
Was a great emulator and still is,but since the update it's impossible to locate your roms,this needs sorting asap
Amazing, such a blast from the past! Played Jet Set Willy for the first time in many years... 👍😊😁
Ignores the back button when you try to quit, which is unforgivable UI design. Instant removal.
Childhood revisited, virtually every spectrum game ever made plus new ones, thank you!
Did not managed to work woth it, no instructions, no help, keyboard not working.... Useless
This is a fantastic emulation. Small (big) problem on Chrome OS tablet though. The 3 dots menu (to get to the file manager/snapshot selection) doesn't appear at all. No way to load games. Could a way to force this to show be added? FYI the double >> go faster icon in the top-right of the screen DOES appear and work ok. Just not the three dots menu. No way to bring it up with Chrome OS keyboard either. Many thanks for such excellent work!
