*GOOD* ZX81 emulator for Android?

Post by yerzmyey »

Yo dudez.
I know I'm too old for all this "mobile" sh*t ;) but I got myself a tablet. And I was wondering - was there any good ZX81 emulator for those hellish machines?
Byez,

Hi Yerz,

I think this topic is a (the?) answer to your question.

Jesus, this stuff is a horror. I'm far too old for this. I installed those progs but can't understand anything. The 'virtual' keyboard mostly doesn't work, seems like it can't press two keys at once (SHIFT+0 for instance), so I will stay with my PC and the real ZX81 after all.
Those tablet-things are clearly for youngsters.

Thx for the links and Your help anyway, mates!

Hi there, I think the SHIFT key is supposed to be 'sticky', so you press SHIFT and it stays down, then you press the other key and both of them release. It's a pain, but in the old days Android touchscreens weren't much cop. It's a shame, because on a decent tablet nowadays you could actually have a full-size multi-touch ZX81 keyboard I would have thought.

Hehe, I'm rather afraid I'm just too stupid and too old for the modern hardware. :) :)
But anyway I will be exploring all those possibilities and thank You guys again, for the help.
Regards.
