Sinclair hardware is very widely emulated. Emulators exist for virtually every platform, and more are released on a very regular basis. Unless otherwise noted in the description, all emulators listed in each section are Freeware.
Please note that some emulators have Multiface 128 emulation, but do not supply the Multiface ROM because it is copyrighted and the authors require a license fee to be paid. However, Z80 and Spectaculator do include this ROM because their authors have licensed it from the current owners, Romantic Robot.
A short list of emulators of other systems, including the MK-14, QL, Jupiter Ace, ZX80 and ZX81 is also provided, as is a list of emulators available in languages other than English.
If your platform is not listed below, please check the Miscellaneous section.

Zx Basic Wars Mac Os 7
- In Mac OS 9, the System Folder was the OS. Except for a few invisible files (such as the Desktop files), all OS files were in the System Folder where they were easily accessible. In Mac OS X, the entire Unix layer remains largely invisible from the Aqua Finder. Thus, Mac OS X has a sort of secondary OS underneath the visible OS.
- The latest versions of zxsp require Intel Macs. They are compiled for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). Versions for classic MacOS and old versions of Mac OS X are still available from the download page.
- This article lists software and hardware that emulates computing platforms. The host in this article is the system running the emulator, and the guest is the system being emulated. The list is organized by guest operating system (the system being emulated), grouped by word length.Each section contains a list of emulators capable of emulating the specified guest, details of the range of guest.
- Setup called ZX Spectrum Code Club. Or if you are already a member of a ZX Spectrum group simply post your questions there (if the rules allow). The listings were coded in a way to make the most of the speed limitations of Sinclair BASIC (within reason) so that the games are playable and hopefully fun too.
