FBZX is another Sinclair Spectrum emulator for Linux, but with an special feature: it works with the framebuffer, so it can work at full speed and full screen. Its main features are extremely accurate emulation of screen and sound (both speaker and AY-3-8912 sound chip), emulation of joysticks (kempston, cursor, and Sinclair), and emulation of 48K (both issue 2 and issue 3), classic 128K, Plus 2, and Plus 2A. It supports Z80 snapshot files (both loading and saving) and TAP files (allowing normal loading or fast-speed loading).

Recent releases


Release Notes: This release fixes CPIR, CPDR, INI, INIR, IND, INDR, OUTI, OTIR, OUTD, and OTDR instructions, fixes RETI and RETN instructions to better mimic the original behavior, and rewrites the AY-3-8912 code, greatly improving the emulation.


Release Notes: This release fixes CPIR and CPDR so Ant Attack works fine, makes CPIR and CPDR set the N bit, makes access to the ULAPLUS registers produce memory contention (as it should be), and initializes some registers when loading a .sna snapshot.


Release Notes: Fixes OUTI, OTIR, OUTD and OTDR: now decrements B before doing OUT. The snapshot management functions no longer use so much stack memory. A bug in screen painting with big endian machines has been fixed. Key order for Sinclair Joystick #2 has been fixed. The Z80 emulator tests have been fixed for big endian machines. The annoying sound when reseting the emulator has been removed.


Release Notes: This release adds support for 320x240 mode. It remembers again the last mode used (48K, 128K, etc.).


Release Notes: This release adds ULAPlus support, fixes a little bug when loading ROMs, and allows going to submenus from the HELP menu.
