ZX81 emulator for Mac OSX?

Post by Simon_Carr »

I tend to mainly use the original hardware to play around with all things ZX81 (I like the authentic feel), but I am thinking of doing some 'proper' programming. I have bought or downloaded emulators for the QL and Spectrum (and BBC, ahem), but wondered whether there is an emulator that is specific to OSX? Most of the ones I have seen seem to only run on Windows (yuk)...

Howdy. I'm using ZXSP which does a passable job at emulating ZX81. It's very easy to crash it though, which I find a bit annoying. You can also use JSZeddy - it works really quite well.

thanks for that: I downloaded ZXSP a while ago, but found it was a bit unstable as well. I'd forgotten it could emulate so many different systems though.

Are there any others out there?

Forgive me but I don't know how well Linux & Mac play together. Can you use this unmodified on an OSX system? Or would you have to build it and perform some code magic to get it to work?
