[zx][beta] ZEsarUX Version 7.2 BETA. 19 December 2018 - Neula edition

ZEsarUX to kolejny 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.

Emulator, autorstwa Cesara Hernandeza (to jego drugi projekt, po ZXSpectr) powstał z myślą o Unixie, jednak z czasem dorobił się również wersji pod Windowsy - patrząc na listę możliwości, to całkiem interesujący kombajn, którego warto mieć pod ręką jeśli potrzebujemy all-in-one z tęczą na pokładzie - sprawia, przynajmniej mi, trochę problemów, ale cóż może da się polubić.

W extrasie znajduje się sporo materiałów testowych, więc jeśli ktoś nie bardzo pasjonuje się sięgania tam, gdzie żaden jeszcze nie sięgnął, nie musi tego ściągać;)

Ostatnia pełna wersja tego multiemulatora sprzętu z Z80 na pokładzie to ZEsarUX Version 7.1 - 24 August 2018 - Anniversary edition
