Je lattendais !!! Enfin...

Superbe émulateur. Tout y est sauf le téléchargement de softs. On peux programmer en 48k ou 128 k. Il y a un clavier virtuel et une manette qui apparaissent à la demande. Introduction de pokes ou cheat mode. Jai joué et programmé sans plantage. Allez...je donne la 5ème étoile si on peut télécharger les .sna ou .tap quon trouve sur World of Spectrum car je veux jouer a manic miner qui nest pas encore dans la liste des jeux de Spectaculator (la liste est petite pour linstant)....

Bien

Génial , jai retrouve mon premier micro de ma jeunesse. Jaimerais bien pouvoir utiliser des fichiers de worldofspectrum....

Parfait !

il manque juste une compatibilité ICADE sinon cest que du bon, vive le rétro, et vivement un emulateur Amstrad CPC ça manque sur le store ….

Pas mal

Jaime bien il faudrer plus de jeux quan pour émulateur masteur system

Monstrueux

Pour ceux qui on envie de jouer à plusieurs jeux rétro bien chiant ce jeu est fais pour vous !

Excellent émulateur

Faites revivre un ZX Spectrum dans votre iPhone ou iPad. Lintégration est parfaite et les jeux sont prêts à être utilisés. Il est possible den acheter dautres que ceux fournis dans le cadre dun achat inapp. Vous pouvez biensur envoyer limage sur un Apple TV pour jouer sur votre écran de TV comme au bon vieux temps !

Gelungene Umsetzung, leider mit Apple Restriktionen

Die eingebauten Spiele sind typische Vertreter der 80er Jahre Spiele( Spielstände sind speicherbar). Die Umsetzung des Emulators finde ich gut gelungen. Man kann endlich auf dem IPad/IPod Basicprogramme im Sinclairbasic schreiben... Fan-tas-tisch!!! Es gibt 4 freie Speicherplätze für Basicprogramme. Wünschenswerte Verbesserungen: - Mindestens 20 Speicherplätze(Slots)für selbstgeschriebene Programme - Kopiermöglichkeit von Programmteilen vom einen in den anderen Slot - bessere und komplette (mit allen Schlüsselwörtern) Darstellung der Spectrumtastatur ----> ist erledigt! - senden und empfangen von selbstgeschriebenen Programmen per Email! -HD Version für das IPad ----> ist jetzt eine allround App für iPod und iPad Wenn das umgesetzt würde, gibts 5 Sterne plus einen extra. Weiter so!
