ZX Spectrum emu, heres what it does & doesnt:
-Spectrum 48, 128, +2 & Pentagon emulation.
-Most snapshot formats supported.
-Rzx playback (for playing back replays of spectrum games).
-Snapshot quick save & load.
-Virtual keyboard.
-Mapping spectrum keys to joypad buttons.
-Kempston, Sinclair & cursor joystick emulation.
-USB keyboard support.

Features it does not have (but hopefully will have in the future):
-Settings for each game.
-Load/Save emulator settings.
-A pretty UI.
-RZX recording.
-Tape browser/Tape Playback controls.
-Proper support for NTSC Xboxes.
-Letting you change which directory snaps are saved in.
-File progress/Loading message when loading RZXs.
-User friendliness of menus.

Known Bugs/Things to bear in mind
-There is a vertical and horizontal line running through the middle of the screen.
-Some tzxs don’t load.
-Some tzxs will slow-load (ie take the same amount of time as a real spectrum).
-Big rzxs cause an out of memory error.
-Big rzxs take ages to load.
-I think there is a small memory leak when loading rzxs but you will need to load 100’s before it affects anything though.
-The keyboard emulation may be slightly unresponsive and buggy. Try pressing keys very quickly in basic and it seems to miss some keypresses. Can anybody confirm if this is real spectrum behaviour?
-Running the emulator on an NTSC xbox (or in PAL60) will cause the sound to stutter and cause it to not run nicely at all. At the moment I recommend you put your xbox into 50hz mode. I know this is a pain but please bear with me. ...

Neo CD emu for the Xbox, heres whats new:
<ul>The "only" new is iso/mp3 support, there are some limitations :
<li>1) you must name the cue the same name as you rep (for example d:\isos\kof96\kof96.cue)
<li>2) you must edit path.txt to select your paths (can be edited in d:\ and t:\ if you want)
<li>3) each images must be in a folder in the iso folder (as for the example -] d:\ is the name of the folder which contain emu -] \isos\ is the isopath -] \kof96\ is the kof96 iso folder and \kof96.cue is the cuesheet file who has the same nam as kof96 iso folder.
<li>4) Interface is really limited, I don t know sdl code and dont wanna mess with it, the main limitation is that you will probably all your isos if you have more than 10.
<li>5) your cue must be named as the iso folder but not the files, no problem with their original name (except xbox fatx limitation)

How to use :
<li>1) simply choose CD-ROM/ISO
<li>2) choose your iso (if all works correctly)
The menu is limited to player D-PAD (up and down) and A button, again I don t really know SDL sorry</ul>

According to maxconsole the size info for the 360 has been announced, bit smaller than the Xbrick then, I was bored & used a nearby tape measure to check out the measurements ...

Direct from the nfo:
'This quite simply, is a video poker game based on Double Double Bonus Poker.
It was written for my personal bar setup and a custom controller with big
buttons in a line, like a real video poker machine. Playing on a regular
controller is a bit odd at first, but isn't too bad once you get the hang
of it.

I released this because I wanted to give back to the community, and maybe
someone else wanted to run this kind of setup themselves in their own bar
setting.
