Thanks, they will be up asap and you will be our newest emu on the middle bar on the site :)

Hey - I asked this over at DCEmulation - is it legal to include the "roms" with this download? On Tyrell's site, he has a link for the "roms" download (which appear to be the bios for this emu). I want to make sure it's legal to include those before I release the SBI.

its a shame that this has been released at the same time as headline grabbing emulators like gba/neo geocd have been released... its an excellent piece of work, been having a little play with it. great stuff.

there are legal roms which are public domainfor the spectrum.

lotsa previously commercial games are now freeware

Well, I have released an SBI on DCStuff. It can be downloaded from the DCStuff SBI Page.
The SBI includes the roms that were in the download from tyrell's web site. As I said, they appear to be some sort of bios roms or something. If it turns out that they are not legal, please let me know, and I will update the SBI.

The ROMs for the Spectrum were released as public domain by Amstrad (I think? Whoever ended up owning the copyright on them), so they should be completely legal.

Yes, I can confirm that the roms are completely legal. Basically, you can distribute them freely but you cannot sell them (I think).
