A note about the future of ecsoft2.org

ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.

Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.

If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggambatiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.

If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.

FBZX Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator v. 4.8 (5/3/2024, Mentore Siesto)	Readme/What's new	Hello all, this is the OS/2 - ArcaOS port of FBZX, a ZX spectrum emulator. This supercedes the 2.9.0 version I ported long time ago, and from the little test I did works pretty well. No audio at present, because I need to understand how to use libraries like libkai or similar. Should I be able to do this, I'll raise a pull request to FBZX author at https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/fbzx where you can find the latest version of the source code. This software has been ported via GCC 9.20 using SDL 2. Source code is included in the file fbzx-master.zip. Hope you'll enjoy some Speccy love Mentore
