About:
ZEsarUX is a multi-platform emulator designed for the ZX Spectrum family of 8-bit microcomputers and other related machines.

The emulator includes advanced features like machine state snapshots, debugging tools, and customizable display filters for an authentic experience.

Supports a wide range of ZX Spectrum models and clones
Cross-platform compatibility (Linux, macOS, Windows)
Integrated debugger and memory inspection tools
Save states and configurable video/audio filters

Use Cases:

Alternatives:

Fuse – Fuse is another popular ZX Spectrum emulator, primarily focused on Unix-like systems, whereas ZEsarUX offers broader machine support and a built-in debugger.
RetroArch – RetroArch is a frontend for multiple emulators; it can run Spectrum cores but ZEsarUX provides a more dedicated, standalone experience with specific debugging features.
