Can anyone recommend a decent Speccy emulator that's free? Spectaculator seems great from the trial, but they want a ridiculous £16.50 for the full version!!! WTF??? Ok, so it includes a copyrighted ROM, but hey...
I have utterly brilliant Commodore, Amiga, Sega, Nintendo, even Playstation emulators that work excellently and are all free and most of them open-source, why should I pay that whopping price for a Speccy emulator?
So, any recommendations? A great +2 or +3 emulator would be fantastic.

Search for ZX Spin. It's free and emulators all flavours of the Spectrum. It also allows the recording and playback of games which was very helpful to me in making 'Dream Home' & 'Yolkfolk'.

It is rather retarded having to pay for an emulator, especially a Spectrum one.

But yeah as Andy said, go for ZXSpin, and there's also EmuZWin which doesn't seems to work well on Vista.

{yolkfolk}:rofl:

I know, I got a REAL +2 cheaper than that, with about 300 games... Including the two Dizzy box sets, still with boxes!

Right, I'll give ZXSpin a whirl.

Thanks guys...

Hi Mataeus,

I noticed the topic isn't that old so I wanted to recommend a very good Speecy emulator that I use. Check it out here.

Btw, hello to you all!
