Any plans for Amstrad, Spectrum, old computers emulation?

HI all,

I am just wondering if there are any plans for upcoming expansion in emulation systems. Specifically, I would love to see Amstrad and Spectrum games.

Thanks!

I believe Fuse, a zx spectrum emulator, was just recently ported. If it’s not in Lakka yet, it likely will be soon. For Amstrad, you can probably use MAME/MESS.

MAME/MESS games (including Amstrad) can be now loaded in Lakka distro? Thanks!

#4

I think so, depending on which version. I think the x86 version has some cores the low-power images don’t. I don’t have a lakka installation, though, so YMMV.

#5

The fuse core is packaged but I didn’t yet enable it. I can enable it if you want to try it.

The MAME package had some issues compiling two month ago, it may be fixed now, I will check that.

#6

I will love to give it a try and post my results here with a bunch of games tested. Just let me know which nightly build to get. Thanks!

By the way, can I do one (simple) request? Would it be possible to include an option next to “run” after selecting the ROM for delete? There are still many that do not work, and I would like to remove it from Lakka.

Thanks!

I uploaded some new builds for PC in the nightlies. They include fuse now.

I’m still not able to compile MAME.
