Ratings and reviews

I'm an emulator fanatic. On android this is THE best Spectrun emulator available So simple to use with ace compatability and competitively priced too The author should take great pride! Suggestions: 1: When the menu comes up, make it wrap round...ie when you are at the top of the menu, push up should wrap you round to the bottom, instead of you having to scroll all the way down... 2: Have a favourites folder AND the ability to click on a game in the list and add it to the favourites folder

Works great. Now if only we could search the current directory instead of the whole storage. Or better yet, The option to pick the directory your games are stored in & scan the contents to a cache. Then searches would be instant. When you have a very large collection of games, endlessly scrolling right to find your game is a chore. A quick search would be so much easier. Im using the Nvidia shield tv. My games are in folders a-z with many games in each folder. It takes forever

Best spectrum emulator I've tried. I didn't understand how the cursor keys worked on the 128 spectrum for menu control and basic editing so I thought there was a problem with the emulator. The Developer got back to me and gave me the info I needed on the same day! "Of course you can. Remember that in a real Spectrum, the cursor is controller by pressing CSHIFT+. Try pressing these arrows while holding CSHIFT. They will work. You can also configure them to "press" CSHIFT automatically, see "Settings | Emulation | Joystick Type | CSHIFT + CURSOR". Thank you Garage Research;)
