Date: Saturday, July 23 @ 02:22:31 UTC
Topic: Xbox Emulation


' This is the first public release of FUSE for the xbox. It is a port of FUSE (Free Unix Spectrum Emulator) '
I am planning on adopting a new name but can’t think of a good one (suggestions to crabfists -AT- gmail.com).

Features:
- Spectrum 48, 128, +2 & Pentagon emulation.
- Most snapshot formats supported.
- Rzx playback (for playing back replays of spectrum games).
- Snapshot quick save & load.
- Virtual keyboard.
- Mapping spectrum keys to joypad buttons.

- Kempston, Sinclair & cursor joystick emulation.
- USB keyboard support.

Features it does not have (but hopefully will have in the future):
- Settings for each game.
- Load/Save emulator settings.
- A pretty UI.
- RZX recording.
- Tape browser/Tape Playback controls.
- Proper support for NTSC Xboxes.
- Letting you change which directory snaps are saved in.
- File progress/Loading message when loading RZXs.
- User friendliness of menus.

Known Bugs/Things to bear in mind:
- There is a vertical and horizontal line running through the middle of the screen.
- Some tzxs don’t load.
- Some tzxs will slow-load (ie take the same amount of time as a real spectrum).
- Big rzxs cause an out of memory error.
- Big rzxs take ages to load.
- I think there is a small memory leak when loading rzxs but you will need to load 100’s before it affects anything though.
- The keyboard emulation may be slightly unresponsive and buggy. Try pressing keys very quickly in basic and it seems to miss some keypresses. Can anybody confirm if this is real spectrum behaviour?
- Running the emulator on an NTSC xbox (or in PAL60) will cause the sound to stutter and cause it to not run nicely at all. At the moment I recommend you put your xbox into 50hz mode. I know this is a pain but please bear with me.
