"Why can't I get ZX81 Emulators to work ?"

found few on www.zx81.nl, none seem to load games :(

any one else tried them and had problems ?

it should work, not worried now, have a ZX81 on the way courtesy of ebay.
Wanted proper computer rather than emulator anyway.

Why not just use a standard Speccy emulator... it should run ZX81 titles?

also zx81 is mono so no blue screens and no Microsoft :)

good post froots - talking from experience I guess.

I see you have yet top experience the joys that could be had from playing the classic text adventure: The Hobbit.

You are in a large room, there are two trolls blocking the exits in the east and south. What do you want to do?

Talk to troll.

I do not know the word ‘troll’

Exit exit exit

I do not know the word ‘exit’

Go North.

You try to go north but one of the trolls eats you. You are dead.

Would you like to play again? Y/N

Retro goodness.

on a side note though, zx81 emulation - the point being?

well i ain't gonna dl that emulator to test it but does it emulate the 16k ram pack? because most of the files on that site were larger that the zx81's standard 1k memory
