ZEsarUX to multiemulator maszynek ze stajni Sir Clive'a - znajdziemy w nim praktycznie wszystkie modele począwszy od ZX80, przez tradycyjne modele Spektrusia, łącznie z tymi, które pojawiły się już z logiem Amstrada, aż po egzotyczny Z88 Cambridge, gdyby nie brak QL można by było powiedzieć, iż emuluje on wszystko z tej rodziny. Obecnie udaje również maszynkę Sam Coupe, czy też CPC464 (o innych egzotykach nie wspomnę, jak np. w tej wersji dodanej emulacji CPC4128, czyli CPC464 + 128kb). W tej edycji oprócz wspomnianego już 4128, pojawia się również emulacja Dandatora - czyli uniwersalnego carta dla CPC.
Nowa wersja testowa oprócz sporej ilości zmian i modyfikacji, pozwala na grę poprzez sieć czy to lokalną, czy też poprzez Internet.
Ostatnia pełna wersja tego multiemulatora sprzętu z Z80 na pokładzie to ZEsarUX 9.0 - Turbo Esprit edition 17/08/2020
