Free sinclair spectrum emulator software for linux

libspectrum is a library designed to make the input and output of some ZX Spectrum emulator files slightly easier.

libspectrum is intended to be usable on Unix variants, Mac OS X and Win32. Currently, it is mainly (only?) used by Fuse, but other Spectrum emulator and utility authors are encouraged to use it.

Which formats does it support?

Snapshots:

read/write: .z80, .szx, .sna
read only: .zxs, .sp., .snp, +D snapshots

Tape images:

read/write: .tzx, .tap
read only: Warajevo .tap

Input recordings:

read/write: .rzx

Timex cartridges:

read only: .dck

Compressed files: reading of gzipped and bzipped files is transparently supported.

VT6530 Terminal Emulator is a Java implementation of the proprietary terminal used with Tandem mainframes.
The Tandem VT6530 is a proprietary terminal used with their Non-Stop(TM) series of mainframes. These high-reliability machines are popular in the banking industry. If youve ever used an ATM to get cash, youve probably used a VT6530.
The terminal itself can operate in three different mode: conversation, block, and ANSI (VT100). Conversation mode is a simple scrolling text mode with the addition key buffering and text attributes. In block mode, text is displayed in a formated screen with special edit fields. ANSI mode is only used with OSS, Tandems UNIX wanabe operating layer.
Enhancements:
- Autotools support (./configure, make, make check, and make install).
- New telnet and ANSI terminal implementations.
- Linux, Cygwin, and HP NonStop (tandem OSS) builds are not quite running yet.

Wide Area Link Emulator enables you to set and test various parameters of a WAN access link (also known as a bottleneck link) before testing on a fully-functional network.

Any ISP has a high bandwidth LAN (of the order of tens of Mbps, e.g. Ethernet) and a WAN access link with relatively low speeds (of the order of a few Kbps to a few Mbps). To be able to evaluate the ISPs performance, actual tests will have to be conducted on a live, fully functional network. This would imply enabling certain features in communication equipment which could be detrimental to the proper functioning of a commissioned network. To address such a problem of being able to characterize/quantify the network operation in terms of its performance with respect to various parameters, a test-bed emulating the ISPs connectivity to the Internet would be an ideal solution.

An important factor in setting up such a test-bed, is emulating the WAN Access Link. Using complex hardware is costly. Such a link can however be easily implemented by emulating the scenario on popular physical technology such as Ethernet. By changing the TCP/IP stack on a Personal Computer, the rate at which packets are injected into the network can be controlled and other necessary features can easily be added.

WALE was implemented in 2 phases and the first version can emulated bandwidths up to 8Mbps and uses FIFO queues with drop-tail.

WALE v2 can emulate bandwidths of up to 80Mbps(a 10-fold improvement over version 1) due to the stripped down version of Micro-second resolution timer being used in the Linux kernel. WALE also implements differentiated services are recommended by IETF. A hash-based packet classifier is used to classify packets into one of 3 queues (Expedited Forwarding, Assured Forwarding and Best Effort). A simple priority scheduling has been implemented between the queues.

Version 2 has been implemented in the Generic Device Layer of the Linux Kernel. The kernel version is 2.2.19. WALE2 kernel patch can be downloaded here. An ncurses based front end has been implemented for setting and viewing various parameters of the bottleneck link.

SpectraScan is a little helper program for those unlucky persons, who dont get their spectrums in an appropriate computer readable format, but on dead tree.

This project allows to convert a variety of spectrum types into a comma separated value format, which is suitable to be loaded into Excel or a statistic program.

Another feature is the ability to scan the axes of a spectrum.

FCE Ultra is a NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and Famicom (Family Computer) emulator for a variety of different platforms, based on Beros FCE. Game compatibility is very high, provided you provide non-corrupt ROM/disk images.
It has been tested (and runs) under DOS, Linux SVGAlib, Linux X, Mac OS X, and MS Windows. A native GUI is provided for the MS Windows port, and the other ports use a command-line based interface. The SDL port should run on any modern UNIX-like operating system(such as FreeBSD) with no code changes.
Enhancements:
- Latest code found on the net.

zblast project is a simple but manic shoot-em-up game.

There are versions for both svgalib and X.

Theres also a cut-down port/rewrite for the Sinclair Spectrum, which fits in 4k. :-) I did that one as an entry for the 2003 Minigame competition.

Qemu Launcher is a GNOME front-end for the Qemu x86 PC emulator based on GTK. Qemu is a command line application so I wrote this so that Qemu is more accessible from the desktop.
Main features:
- Create and save multiple VM configurations
- Disk image creation from the GUI using dd, qemu-mkcow, and vmdk2raw for raw, COW, and VMWare converted images respectively.
- Provides Qemu console access via xterm
- Configurations stored in users home directory in ~/.qemu-launcher
- Disk images can be stored anywhere
