Description

Spectacol (in Romanian means show) is a free (GPL v3+) ZX Spectrum emulator based on FUSE Spectrum emulator(http://fuse-emulator.sf.net)

FUSE emulator has, by far, the richest ZX features list. Spectacol enables the following features:

- Loads all ZX Spectrum files
- Accurate 16K, 48K, 128K, +2, +2A and +3 emulation
- Quick load & save snapshots. It is quite useful when you play games
- Easily select the Joystick type
- Poke finder, disassambler & inline assambler. Allows the user to crack the games and gain infinite lives quickly
- Last but not least, FUSE is very high-efficient, it needs only ~15% of CPU on a Nexus 10 to emulate your games

In addition to FUSE's features, Spectacol adds:
- Online search allows the user to access thousands of ZX Spectrum apps & games! The search results are downloaded locally and they can be used to start the games offline
- The UI is design with gamepad controls in mind. The user will be able to play all the games that support Joysticks using the gamepad.
- On screen numeric cursor (available only when a gamepad is present), allows the user to quickly start & control the games
- On Screen full/simplified 48K Keyboard needed when the numeric cursor is not enough
- On screen virtual Joystick (available only when no gamepad is present), allows the user to play the games

Be aware that, Spectacol is in BETA stage!

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

2 ★Found that need to press {CapsShift+6}, to get the light blue line to "Spectrum 128" (or other), then press {Enter}. Yes, but it's still very buggy: won't let you save outside the Spectacol directory (has permissions) - always goes to tape loader, making sure program is lost. Waste of time, undocumented. Time to give up.
2 ★Kempston does not work on bluetooth joypad
4 ★Fix the Kempston controller please, doesn't work.
5 ★Kempston does not work, but cursor works. Has xbox 360 support using android box. Games which work with cursor joystick are 3d tank, the dark, jet set willy, space walk, space racer, sabre wulf and 1942 mission. You can get these games from the game. If you use an xbox 360 wired controller: Hit x and keyboard will be displayed. Left trigger for save state, and right to load state. Start on controller will display spectacol menu.
1 ★Absolutely garbage avoid like plague
5 ★Opens my creations from 1983 effortlessly. Unconventional UI, but once you get used to it, it is fast and responsive. I like the virtual ZX keyboard, quite large for my chubby fingers thank to transparent overlay approach.
5 ★Best ZX Spectrum Emulator for mobile! I wish to have it for iOS too.
5 ★FOSS + ad-free = ❤️
5 ★EXCELENT! POT SA SCRIU UN PROGRAM IN BASIC, SI CHIAR IL SALVEAZA CU COMANDA SAVE "nume", APOI POT SA-L DESCHID CU COMANDA LOAD "nume" dar dupa ce inchid tableta si o pornesc iar, nu mai incarca :(
5 ★Finally I finally found the perfect zx spectrum emulator
