It's been over 30 years since I had a Spectrum but I want to get back into it. Partly for some nostalgic game playing but also to hopefully do some coding, and to have a platform for my daughter to learn coding the "proper" way.
My options seem to be:
1. Buy a refurbished Spectrum;
2. Buy a Recreated ZX Spectrum and rely on their app and any other (probably) Android based emulators that I can use with it;
3. Option 2 plus buy a Raspberry Pi 2 and install RetroPie onto it.
I think that option 1 would be too restrictive and non-portable. So, currently, I am thinking that I should start off with 2 and then get the Pi 2 and setup option 3. This would then give me a portable Android based solution plus a hardware based system which I could use for other things (by having a second OS image on another SD card).
Has anyone tried the Recreated ZX Spectrum with the RetroPie? If so, which emulator(s) would you recommend? Also, are there any other Android emulators which work with the Recreated ZX Spectrum?
