The Free Unix Spectrum Emulator (Fuse) 1.6.0
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
Fuse (the Free Unix Spectrum Emulator) was originally, and somewhat
|
|
unsurprisingly, an emulator of the ZX Spectrum (a popular 1980s home
|
|
computer, especially in the UK) for Unix. However, it has now also
|
|
been ported to Mac OS X, which may or may not count as a Unix variant
|
|
depending on your advocacy position and Windows which definitely isn't
|
|
a Unix variant. Fuse also emulates some of the better-known ZX Spectrum
|
|
clones as well.
|
|
|
|
What Fuse does have:
|
|
|
|
* Accurate Spectrum 16K/48K/128K/+2/+2A/+3 emulation.
|
|
* Working Spectrum +3e and SE, Timex TC2048, TC2068 and TS2068,
|
|
Pentagon 128, "512" (Pentagon 128 with extra memory) and 1024 and
|
|
Scorpion ZS 256 emulation.
|
|
* Runs at true Speccy speed on any computer you're likely to try it on.
|
|
* Support for loading from .tzx files, including accelerated loading.
|
|
* Sound (on systems supporting the Open Sound System, SDL, OpenBSD/
|
|
Solaris's /dev/audio, CoreAudio or PulseAudio).
|
|
* Emulation of most of the common joysticks used on the Spectrum
|
|
(including Kempston, Sinclair and Cursor joysticks).
|
|
* Emulation of some of the printers you could attach to a Spectrum.
|
|
* Support for the RZX input recording file format, including
|
|
rollback and 'competition mode'.
|
|
* Emulation of the Currah µSource, Interface 1, Kempston mouse,
|
|
Multiface One/128/3 and TTX2000S interfaces.
|
|
* Emulation of the Covox, Currah µSpeech, Fuller audio box, Melodik and
|
|
SpecDrum audio interfaces.
|
|
* Emulation of the DivIDE, DivMMC, Spectrum +3e, ZXATASP, ZXCF and ZXMMC
|
|
storage interfaces.
|
|
* Emulation of the Beta 128, +D, Didaktik 80/40, DISCiPLE and Opus Discovery
|
|
disk interfaces.
|
|
* Emulation of the Spectranet and SpeccyBoot network interfaces.
|
|
* Emulation of the TTX2000 S Teletext adapter.
|
|
* Support for the Recreated ZX Spectrum Bluetooth keyboard.

Help! <xyz> doesn't work
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you're having a problem using/running/building Fuse, the two places
|
|
you're most likely to get help are the development mailing list
|
|
<fuse-emulator-devel@lists.sf.net> or the official forums at
|
|
<http://sourceforge.net/p/fuse-emulator/discussion/>.
|
|
|
|
What you'll need to run Fuse
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Unix, Linux, BSD, etc.
|
|
|
|
Required:
|
|
|
|
* X, SDL or framebuffer support. If you have GTK, you'll get
|
|
a (much) nicer user interface under X.
|
|
* libspectrum: this is available from
|
|
http://fuse-emulator.sourceforge.net/libspectrum.php
|
|
|
|
Optional:
|
|
|
|
* Other libraries will give you some extended functionality:
|
|
* libgcrypt: the ability to digitally sign input recordings (note that
|
|
Fuse requires version 1.1.42 or later).
|
|
* libpng: the ability to save screenshots
|
|
* libxml2: the ability to load and save Fuse's current configuration
|
|
* zlib: support for compressed RZX files
|
|
|
|
If you've used Fuse prior to version 0.5.0, note that the external
|
|
utilities (tzxlist, etc) are now available separately from Fuse
|
|
itself. See http://fuse-emulator.sourceforge.net/ for details.
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X
|
|
|
|
* Either the native port by Fredrick Meunier, or the original version
|
|
will compile on OS X 10.3 (Panther) or later.
|
|
* On Mac OS X Lion you will need to use clang as gcc-llvm-4.2.1 fails to
|
|
correctly compile z80_ops.c.
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
|
|
* The Win32 and SDL UIs can be used under Windows.
|
|
* pthreads-win32 library will give the ability to use posix threads, needed by
|
|
some peripherals.
