HI, y'all! Thats yankeespeak for hello. Does anyone want to talk about zed-ex emu for Android? I just wrote to wofspeccy and was told to bugger off! Arnt we all on seeking the same end result? The preservation of sinclair computer information mainly?

Hi zappadog, and welcome

That's britspeak for ... err hello and welcome

I think the most likely place to start with an emulator on Android would be the SZ81 emulator source; http://sz81.sourceforge.net/

I wouldn't be surprised if someone is already working on it, though I haven't heard anything...

Hello Zappadog,

I can't believe that at WoS you are asked to bugger off. In fact I can't even find your name on the memberlist.
There is a Android thread on WoS, but I can't see posts about zed-ex. But welcome to RWAP.

Indeed, welcome to the forums.

A ZX81 emulator for the Android would be excellent

Hallo zappadog! That's germanspeak for hello and welcome to our forum.
Zed-ex seems to be an existing emulator in beta state for android (as google said). Are you involved in the develpoment?
Well I don't have any android thing, but I like zeddys very much.
If you have any questions just feel free to ask. We will try to help as good as we can.
Is there a good working android emulator for mac out there so I could try zed-ex on my desktop?

A colleague of mine has an Android tablet. He downloaded it and the ZX-Basic works.
I entered a mini program, saved it.
After new and load "test" the sceen had lines, I think it was trying some audio load?
Then I found the load function under the virtual keyboard and found the previously saved programs. It loaded ok and worked.
Seems to be a bit slower than original, but I'm not shure
Is there also a ZX80 mode?

Sorry, I am not involved with Zed Ex developement. You see, I own an "El-cheapo" tablet that doesn't allow Android Market apps to be downloaded. I had hoped you chaps already knew where I could obtain it without a 'droid phone. I guess my next step is to find somebody with a smartphone and is "smart" enough to download it to a SD card for me.

I'll ask my colleague. He already has it on his tablet
Wouldn't it be more interesting to get your tablet opened to the market? There should be alternative firmwares. Is it rooted?
I always wonder what use tablets and phones are if they aren't allowed to connect to the markets, not only android. Well, except for making phone calls of course
Is this emulator in more than one market?

[zappadog]

My chinkatronic tablet can download from some app repositories like Slideme and App Planet directly--sometimes. For instance, I have a speccy emu and atari 2600 emu. I can also download .apk files from WOS onto an SD card then "side load". I would probably pay to get a goodzx81 emu. Without ads, of course!

He didn't get it to his SD, sorry
