[Frequently Asked Questions] [Resources] [Emulators] [Where Is...?] [File Formats] [Technical Information] [Pinouts] [Acknowledgements]

• 11 Aug 2000: Moved to the main site for the FAQ to its new location. Also, the Italian mirror of the FAQ has moved, and there is now another Dutch mirror, another American mirror and a brand new Polish mirror.
  World of Spectrum has moved. Hopefully I've fixed all the links, but tell me about any I missed...
  Split the DOS/Windows emulators page into DOS and Windows pages. Merged the BeOS, C64, MSX, NeXT and SAM Coupé emulator pages into the Other Platforms page.
  Added the new Windows emulator SEM, TI89/TI92+ emulator Tezxas and Mac emulator zxsp; updated the information on ASp, JX-Speccy (formerly known as `JX-Spectrum'), RealSpectrum, Sinbas, Specci (Atari), Speccyal, vbSpec, xzx and Z80Stealth. Removed the entry for the Atari emulator 'Spectrum' as this was just version 1.1 of Specci.
  Changed my e-mail address throughout the FAQ; the old one will still work, so don't worry too much about it.
  Burnt all .gifs. A bit late for Burn All .gifs day, but still worth doing.
  Unsurprisingly, new and updated Resources and Where Is...? information.
  A small clarification to the shadow screen information in the 128K Memory section.
  Added a new page on Peripheral Ports.
• 2 May 2000: Updated the information on ASp, Finspe, JASPE, Mac Spectacle, R80, Spec128 (RISC OS), xzx, Z80Stealth, and zx32, and added the new emulators vbSpec (Windows), JX-Spectrum (Java) and zxsp (Unix). Also renamed 'Suzanne's Spectrum Emulator' to its proper name of SSpec.
  Added Dinamic to the Where Is...? section.
  New and updated Resources, as always.
  Added a pointer to the new .AZX sound format.
  Changed the copyright conditions to make them less restrictive.
  Other changes I forgot to document... sorry!
• 6 January 2000: A major overhaul of the Resources section, as well as the usual new and updated bits in there.
  Added David Anderson, Charles Cecil, Alan Laird and Clive Parker to the Where Is...? section, and updated the entries for Stuart Campbell, Jonathan Nash, Richard Naylor and Dominic Robinson.
  Added the TC 2048 and the TC 2068 to the Power Supplies section.
  A huge number of back-end changes; this (hopefully) won't be too obvious in the rendered HTML, but will make the FAQ much easier for me to maintain :-)
  Updated the information on Hob, R80, Sinclair Spectrum Emulator (Psion), Spec128 (RISC OS), UKV Spectrum Debugger, x128 (DOS), Yet Another Spectrum Emulator, Z80Stealth, ZX Emulator (DOS), ZX Plus and ZXSpectr, and added the new DOS emulators Finspe, RealSpectrum and JASPE, the new Windows emulator Speccyal, the new Amiga emulator ASp and the very first Windows CE emulator Sinclair Spectrum Emulator. There are now (in some senses) 100 different Spectrum emulators available!
  Mentioned the new binaries newsgroup in Question 2 and the Newsgroups section.
  There is now a German mirror of the FAQ; thanks to Stephan Slabihoud for hosting this.
  Mentioned xzx's Pentagon and Scorpion extensions to the .Z80 snapshot format.
  Updated the Emulator Benchmarks and moved them to a separate page. Thanks here due to Samir Ribic.
  Updated Question 19.
