Fuse is a free Unix Spectrum Emulator that has been ported to the Wii.

I'm releasing a preview of FUSE for the Wii. It still has a couple bugs and lacks a couple features, but it's very useable. FUSE is the Free Unix Spectrum Emulator by Philip Kendall, an emulator for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, a home computer that was very popular in the 80s. For more information (and thousands of games!), see World of Spectrum.

 

You can download it here. Just unpack the archive under /apps on your SD card and run it.

 

Most Spectrum software assumes you have a keyboard attached (since the original Spectrum is an all-in-one home computer). FUSE for the Wii supports USB keyboards. You will probably need one.

 

When you run FUSE, you get the Spectrum 48K boot screen. You can now attach a USB keyboard and write BASIC programs!

 

You can also push the HOME button on your Wiimote. This brings up a menu that you can use to load Spectrum games from SD card. The A button selects a menu entry, the B button brings you up one menu. You should also tell FUSE to use your Wiimote as a Sinclair Joystick: Options->Joysticks->Joystick 1->Sinclair Joystick

 

Now, when you start a game, tell the game to use the Sinclair interface. Hold the Wiimote sideways so the 1&2 buttons are on the

right. The directional pad is your joystick, 2 is Fire button 1, 1 is Fire button 2.

 

To quit FUSE, bring up the menu and select File->Exit, press A on the question whether you really want to quit.

Thanks to EmuBoards for the news!

Dosbox for the GP2X has been updated to v0.72-3.

No more OSD flicker

Some mouse emulation fixes

OSD color selection fixes/improvments

Readded the MMU hack and profiled, about 1 fps more in one test i did. Every little bit counts i guess.

BearOS released a new version of its GTK for the Super Nintendo Emulator: Snes9x for Linux.

* Fixed memory leak in Xv driver.

* Xv driver now prefers adaptors more formats. Fixes a regression that causes use of lossy modes when lossless are available.

* Fixed a few small bugs

Script PC is a IBM PC (286, 386, 486, 586 and XT) and Spectrum 48k Emulator for Windows.

- fixed couple of x86-32 CPU emulation bugs, so it is promoted to "alpha"

state (i.e. it is mostly workable, but not completly - and hardware debug

registers not implemented yet).. Main obstacle to correct OS and software

working is incomplete emulation of PC devices and BIOSes (some soft

better worked with virtual BIOS, some with real/binary - so better to try it

on both, if something failed to work). But take in account, that currently

x86 CPU faults processed quite slow (because lack of optimization - they

every time trash own block of recompilation cache to provide correct

restart of instruction). So "virtual-8086" mode EMS emulators

(emm386/qemm-like) will slowdown DOS in SPC (currently).

- small fix in VGA "double line" modes detection;

- speedup of script´s CASE construction (table-based for integer "cases" now);

- added two recommended ("Best") x86-configs to simplify emulator usage:

fast real (with binary BIOSes) and slower virtual (with scripted BIOSes - not

complete yet, because scripted VGA BIOS is under development currently);

- added support of Z80-configs to debug console (disassembling etc.);

- added support of some BIOS-es (PC/5150, Phoenix-386);

- fixed couple of bugs in emulation kernel (synchronization etc.);

- fixed some broken script error messages (now show correct scipt name);

- some fixing and cleanup in scripts of several devices and in virtual BIOS.
