Figure 10.37: ZXBox
ZXBox is a port of the “Spectemu” ZX Spectrum 48k emulator for Rockbox (Zproject’s
homepage). To start a game open a tape file or snapshot saved as .tap, .tzx, .z80 or
.sna in the file browser.
Note: As ZXBox is a 48k emulator only loading of 48k z80 snapshots is possible.
Default keys
The emulator is set up for 5 different buttons: Up, Down, Left, Right and Jump/Fire.
Each one of these can be mapped to one key of the Spectrum Keyboard or they can be
used like a “Kempston” joystick. Per default the buttons, including an additional but
fixed menu button, are assigned as follows:
Key
Action
Up/Down/
Left/Right
Select
Power
Directional movement
Jump/Fire
Open ZXBox menu

Vkeyboard. This is a virtual keyboard representing the Spectrum keyboard. Controls
are the same as in standard Rockbox, but you just press one key instead of entering
a phrase.

Save Quick Snapshot. Saves snapshot into /.rockbox/zxboxq.z80.
Load Quick Snapshot. Loads snapshot from /.rockbox/zxboxq.z80.
