Yep, yet another Spectrum emulator, this one being for Mac OS.
Writing my own Spectrum emulator has been a bucket list item for a while. While I'm really enjoying it and have written it with my requirements in mind, its not much fun if you don't share it. For that reason I thought there was no better place to post it there here :)
The emulator supports the 48k and 128k along with the beeper and AY sound. It loads SNA and Z80 snapshots and TAP files. It also saves to TAP files from BASIC and allows for the creation of SNA and Z80 snapshots from what's running. I've also added some fun (for me) effects to the screen, including a realtime screen reflection using the Macs camera.
So far its passing all Z80 and timing tests I've thrown at it, so let me know if you break the timing.
For those who are not Mac users I made a little video which can be viewed at https://www.dropbox.com/s/nzfm06bzt228hpa/SpectREM.mp4?dl=0
The app can be downloaded from https://www.dropbox.com/s/ix702j8fiw0z0m3/SpectREM.zip?dl=0
A huge thanks to those emulator authors who have gone before me and provided great advice including Woody, Mr R Chandler, Adrian Brown, Paul Tankard and Juan Carlos Amestoy and last but by no means least Polomint :D
All feedback welcome :)
