Fuse for Mac OS X
Port of the UNIX ZX Spectrum emulator Fuse
Fuse for macOS is a native port of the UNIX ZX Spectrum emulator, bringing faithful recreation of the classic 8‑bit home computer to macOS. It emulates a range of Spectrum models—including the 128, Timex, and various Russian clones—and reproduces the original display and sound characteristics. The emulator handles multiple snapshot formats (Z80, SNA, SZX) and virtual‑tape files (TAP, TZX, PZX), allowing users to load and run historic software archives.
The application integrates macOS‑specific features where appropriate, such as support for a recreated ZX Spectrum Bluetooth keyboard and joystick peripherals. Recent updates have added Currah μSpeech emulation, corrected Z80 flag handling, and improved handling of EDSK disk images, enhancing compatibility with a broader set of games and utilities.
Fuse for macOS targets enthusiasts of retro computing, developers, and anyone wishing to experience ZX Spectrum software on modern Apple hardware. Its stable release status and ongoing refinement make it a practical tool for preserving and exploring the software’s legacy.
