Brilliant emulator, one question can you still play Sam coupe games on it as there is no mention in the description anymore of it.

The up button from the d-pad is beheaving like the right d-pad button ? The arrow key cannot be mapped. I have a android version 4.2.2. From the settings menu-input-assign joystick keys, clicking a "left button" gives me "press key once to assign ..." What and where ? There is nothing on screen, what and how was changed or what to do, only a lock icon. Edit : To map the joystick you have to buy the full version. Developer, be precise and tell us better the differences between the free and the comercial. Edit : Now the right and left keys are working.

Brilliant emulator, if you don't like the ads then either save up and buy it or just put up with them either that or write your own and put it on play store for free, its only fair that the creators get something back for all their work, it's less than the price of a packet of 10 cigarettes here in The UK plus it's more fun and healthier for you.

Nice emulator, but can't help wondering why it needs to access "Device Identity" permission to make phone calls, especially on a wi-fi only tablet...

Tried to quit program and a 30 second advert was shown and had to watch it all before I could quit! Uninstalling

Y70%
by Y####:

Update : Ads in the free version are too intrusive (full screen video with sound and no possibility to skip popping out every time file is exited.) Granted, the paid version has no ads, but such intrusive advertising will deter newbies from ever trying paid version. Suggest ad-free grace period of a few days after install, or showing an ad only if the user spent like 10 minutes in a program (ie really used it and not just tried).

This Spectrum emulator comes in last place among many Android Spectrum emulators in my view. It works, but choosing not to blur the screen makes the screen far more blurred than my old 14" PAL TV with HW acceleration enabled, (Nexus 7) so adding scan lines (not available in the clean, but slow software rendering) just makes things worse. Flash loading only works for non-protected tape files and loading noise is either painfully loud or non-existant. Managing tape loading is more capable than others (notably Marvin wont let you skip ahead or rewind, which is a pain if you need to load levels or such) but far more complex than others. Using a BT Keyboard should mean I don't need the overlay, but I can't get rid of the on-screen joysitck and such. Many game files just don't load. USP, or Spectalator are vastly superior, but Marvin still beats this hands down. I can't see what the advanced options are without paying, which isn't much of an advertisement and I wouldn't pay on the basis of my experience of the free version. The additional systems (Coupe and Pentagon in particular) should be great, but not with this fuzzy a screen.

Cannot load games, but I can conclude that the problems with all spectrum emulators in the market its the keyboard and respective controls

Starting to look really good. Excellent that it is still being worked. When a full speccy keyboard and Plus D interface come along it will be perfect and I'd be more than happy to pay. I know they are on the to do list. Keep up the excellent development.

Good, works well with lots of games, but I won't purchase it till I can get the number keys on this Xperia mini pro to work, they're shifted.

Great app that I used to have on my Nokia. There's 1 or 2 bugs with it that I'm trying to see if it's a problem with me or not (can't get any games to load but loading sounds are heard). I use the Advent Vega (Android 2.2). The 1.7.3 release is much more stable. This emulator is by far the best and most promising. The others I've tried but are over complicated or just won't work. This one is simple. Looking forward to watch updates on this. Great work!
