DS81: Sinclair ZX81 Emulator for DS
noddybox has released DS81 v1.0 – a basic Sinclair ZX81 emulator for the DS. The ZX81 is a home computer released by Sinclair Research back in 1981. It’s hooked up to a TV set and saving and loading programs were done using ordinary magnetic audio tapes on home audio tape recorder. Its claim to fame was being the first home computer under US $100.
Through DS81 v1.0, you can now play games originally made for the ZX81. The just-released emulator doesn’t support loading of external files right now but it does include a few games to try out:
- ZX81 ROM
- City Patrol
- Sabotage
- 3D Monster Maze
When you run DS81 v1.0, following a splash screen, you’ll see a ZX81 display on the top screen and a soft keyboard on which you can type. Click on the bottom part of the touch screen for the menu. Choose choose a tape, reset the ZX81 and set the sticky state of the shift key on or off. Once you have selected a tape, simply type LOAD “” on the ZX81 to load it. All the included games map the joypad and buttons to sensible settings for each specific game.
And here’s a special note from the developer: “I did not write these games, or own the copyright to them. They are included in good faith (as far as I know the authors do not mind this work being distributed), and if any of them want their work removing I’ll gladly oblige.”
