Title Version Date Files Size Description
Speculator 1.04 23-Mar-1998 Spec.zip 302K Spectrum Emulator for Archimedes/RISC OS 2 or later.
Appears to be the fastest RISC OS Spectrum emulator available. This is the patched version patched with SpecPatch. It reads standard Spectrum .TAP tapefiles, allows the TapeFiles directory to be anywhere, passes IN and OUT to external support code and avoids pathname expansion overwriting the code. Currently crashes on RISC OS 3.50+

PiSpec 1.00 2017 PiSpec.zip 62K Spectrum Emulator BBC+PiTube+NuLA.
Z80Em
{[Z80Em] broken} 3.00 20-Mar-1999 No download Z80Em for RISC OS.
Emulates 48K, 128K and +2 Spectrums. Runs rather slowly unless used on a fairly fast machine.
Author: Michael & Anne Borcherds and Darren Salt for Warm Silence Software.
Note: Version 4 has recently been released.
[Z80Em] 1.00 09-Mar-2001 Patch.zip 2K Patch for Z80Em version 3.00 that fixes a few bugs in it. Fixes some incorrectly named sprites, RESET zeros the I register, partial decoding of port &FD allowed, so OUT (&FD),A works, and dragging ROM images to the icon bar allowed.
Author: J.G.Harston.
MZXSpeccy 1.10 Apr-1994 MZX.zip 83K MZX Spectrum Emulator for Archimedes/RISC OS.
Implements most of the functionality of a 48K Sinclair ZX Spectrum. It will run in single or multitasking modes on an Acorn RISC OS machine with at least 1Mb of memory and operating system version 3.00 or later. It will run in multitasking mode only under RISC OS 3.50. Patched to load snapshots correctly.

Author: Joe Kelleher.
Speccy No download Commercial Spectrum 48/128 emulator for RISC OS.
Appears to be the only RISC OS emulator that emulates the Interface 1.
