Spectacol (in Romanian means 
) is a free (GPL v3+)  ZX Spectrum emulator based on FUSE Spectrum emulator(http://fuse-emulator.sf.net)
FUSE emulator has, by far, the richest ZX features list. 
 enables the following features:
 - Loads all ZX Spectrum files
 - Accurate 16K, 48K, 128K, +2, +2A and +3 emulation
 - Quick load & save snapshots. It is quite useful when you play games
 - Easily select the Joystick type
 - Poke finder, disassambler & 
. Allows the user to 
 the games and gain infinite lives quickly
 - Last but not least, FUSE is very high-efficient, it needs only ~15% of CPU on a Nexus 10 to emulate your games
In addition to FUSE's features, Spectacol adds:
 - 
 allows the user to access 
 of ZX Spectrum apps & games! The search results are downloaded locally and they can be used to start the games offline
 - The UI is design with gamepad controls in mind. The user will be able to play all the games that support Joysticks using the gamepad.
 - On screen numeric cursor (available only when a gamepad is present), allows the user to quickly start & control the games
 - On Screen full/simplified 48K Keyboard needed when the numeric cursor is not enough
 - On screen virtual Joystick (available only when no gamepad is present), allows the user to play the games
Be aware that, Spectacol is in 
 stage!

    Best Speccy Emulator on here that has a search option so you don't have to mess about finding roms yourself, however since upgrading my phone to the Samsung galaxy s21 ultra the quick save snapshot has stopped working for some reason? And if would be useful to be able to move the pause/play and fast forward buttons to the top right hand corner when in landscape as sometimes You can accidentally press on them which can be abit annoying.

    Good emulator game, tested deathrace with Kempston joystick worked also played a Russian darts game using Kempston joystick works. Can change to landscape mode and create custom keys, but if you do create custom keys you have to change back or check if using a joystick as you may have changed fire to another key.

    It works! I shouldn't complain but I'm still doing it. Please make an option to resize touchscreen layouts. & BTW, the online game finder doesn't work well.

    Gets 5 stars because it is excellent. There are a couple of issues. 1. Minor (if there's another control option) Kempston joystick does not work in any game I tried using a Bluetooth gamepad. Nothing registers. 2. Minor. The screenshot on the online search take a lot of space and if you scroll too fast will loop around. 3. Minor. You have to reset the file path if it gets stuck in the very bottom of the directory structure. 4. Controls can't be remapped to keys. Makes some games unplayable.

    Hi. Absolutely love this emulator! But I am having an issue which has stopped me playing it. The online search feature stopped working all of a sudden some months ago. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no success. It used to work perfectly. If i search for any game it won't even try to search for it. It just stays with the game title I have typed in on the search bar and nothing else. Please help!! I am using a GPD XD Thanks

    A very impressive FUSE based emulator, however: I've run into a problem with the Media locator (Media | Tape | Open); when navigating back up the tree, it's possible to reach a point where no folders are displayed (specifically at /Storage/Emulated/), from where it's no longer possible to find any files. The same issue is present when using 'Quick Open' I resorted to fully uninstalling and resinstalling the emulator to access the game files. Am I missing something obvious?

    Excellent emulator with a built-in search linked to a good catalogue. The on-screen keyboard and joystick work but are a bit of a pain to use. Great with an external joystick, button reassignment is handy. There is a menu item to switch to portrait mode, which made the keyboard slightly easier on my 'phone.

    really good emu by thr looks except i dont own a controller for my phone and dont want to have to carry a ps4 pad around with me, if somehow touch controls could work that would make it a 5 star for me but for now a 4 star because i cannot play the games and i dont find anything saying touchscreen controls work or how to get them to work , if you fix this issue ill rate it 5
