Reviving an old thread -- I'm working on a Spectrum emulator as a pet project -- based off vbSpec. I started it because I wanted to play Count Duckula and vbSpec was the easiest to work -- started up without any problems, and on top of that it was made in Visual Basic. It lacks things like snapshots, intuitive windows, debugger, etc. -- So I'm taking over. I don't know if I'll ever release it, it's for my enjoyment.
