Emulator for Android

Apologies if this has been asked before.

Are there any ZX81 emulators for Android?

And are there emulators for any other old computers for Android?

Re: ZX80 Game - Shop Steward

Just played through two games....it's quite diverting for a while, like most turn based strategy games. In these difficult times I could see a re-written version according to current employment law/practices. Works fine on Eighty One in 16K ZX80 mode. I'd love to see the political game you wrote aft...

Re: Web-Browser for ZX81: ZeddyFox V1.0

Once I get my display issues sorted I really must put my Zeddy online.

Re: A stupid but useful tip for TV-sets users

I have access to oscilloscopes at work (indeed I was using 5 today!) but the Zeddy works perfectly on both TV's at work. I'm not really in a position to lug a 'scope home though I suppose I could run the Zeddy at work for 30 minutes and observe the changes on the scope. First I think I'll add a 10uF...

Re: ZXpand Specific Keyboard Membranes

I've been lucky with my old Zeddies and the original keyboards & connections work fine. Until and unless I need to replace them I'm not in the market for a ZXPand 'compatible' overlay. There are only three new commands and I can remember them easily. However, if I did need a new overlay I would defi...

Re: A stupid but useful tip for TV-sets users

That composite mod works beautifully with some TV's. However my main TV at home (AOC LCD model) doesn't like it much. I get a perfect picture for 10 minutes or so but as the ULA heats up the picture breaks up. I get nothing at all when going via the composite input of my VCR or DVD recorder....and I...

Re: What ZX81 game are you currently playing?

City of Xon is a challanging game, it goes so fast! But it's a real programming achievement.
