Comment on JSSpeccy v20090929 (Don’t-Mess-With-Geeks Edition) by Richard Armitage

I found this article after doing a search for a Spectrum emulator for the iPhone. Sadly the plagiarised app ZXGamer is still high in search results but glad it has been removed from the app store. Anyway, can’t wait to try out JSSpeccy on my new iPhone (when I get it). I’m used to less than 100% speed emulation after using a speccy emulator on my Amiga 1200 years ago..I didn’t care, just loved that I had it on!

Well done.

Thanks a ton for writing about this. I just got my '07 MBP back after having the logic board / graphics chipset / io board all replaced (under warranty, thanks to this Nvidia issue) and 24 hours later this started happening. I was sure this was going to be the final nail in my beloved laptop's coffin, thank bob it wasn't!

Nope, no virtual keyboard support… you need to use the ‘joystick’ icon to set up mappings between Spectrum keys and joystick directions, and then you can touch the appropriate areas of the screen to trigger those keys.

Great for iPhone users !!!!!
So, how can I use it with iPhone ?
It works, but there is no keyboard…
There is a workaround to brings up the virtual keyboard ?
There is another way to use it with touch ?
Think about that THIS emulator can be actually the ONLY ONE solution to emulate Speccy with a non-jailbroken iPhone…..

Paul: There’s nothing to install – it just runs directly from the web page at jsspeccy.zxdemo.org. (Unless I’m getting the wrong end of the stick, and ‘installing’ a webpage so that you can view it offline is a standard practice on Android phones – in which case, I have no idea…)
