Speccy 5.6 for Windows – Download

The ZX Spectrum was one of the most popular 8-bit consoles in the 1980s and early 1990s. Now, thanks to Speccy, you can relive the good times you spent playing classic platform games – like Fred, Abbey of Crime and Mad Mix – on your PC.

Speccy can mimic most Spectrum games in the 48, 128 and 48k versions, as well as the more modern +2 and +3 versions. It also supports hardware such as printers, mice and controls and can load files in the following formats: Z80, SNA, TAP, TZX, FDI, TRD and SCL. However, the loading speed will not be immediate, as it is the same speed required by the cartridges.

The program also allows you to convert the input signal to a MIDI sequence, enabling you to save your games in digital format for later upload. This is especially useful if you are reading games directly from the original cassettes through an audio input port.
