ZX Plus is a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K and 128K
emulator written for Windows 95 / 98 using Direct X. It is programmed in
C++ and 32-bit Assembly. It is complied using Microsoft Visual C++ Version
5.0 with Direct X SDK 7.001 libraries. Eventually it will support other
systems such as the Sega Master System and Nintendo Gameboy / Colour Gameboy.
We have written this emulator because we are interested in emulation and
wanted to contribute to the emulation scene. We thought the Spectrum would
be a reasonably easy choice for a first emulator. We also wanted to see
if we could write one. We have tried to make ZX Plus easy to use and the
most visually stunning Spectrum emulator around. The current Z80 emulation
still has bugs in it which we are attempting to fix. A lot of games work
perfectly (or so we think) including Aufmonty, Batty, Underwurlde, Manic
Miner, Bruce Lee, and Joeblade 3.

Please email us at the link below
with any comments, suggestions, and bug reports of ZX Plus. If you have
found a bug please include the relevent information about your computer,
i.e. processor, sound card, joysticks, Windows version, and Direct X version.
However, do not email us saying that games do not work unless you can describe
where the bug is and preferably what you think is wrong with the emulation
of the Spectrum. We are very interested in spectrum hardware emulation
and interface errors as we already know there is a lot of Z80 emulatin
errors.
