Libspectrum is a library for reading and writing some of the file formats used by emulators of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. It also contains routines providing information about the various Spectrum clones which were available.
Program is distributed as ZIP package: download to temporary directory and unpack to destination folder. See below for download link(s).
Following ones are the download links for manual installation:
Libspectrum (Sinclair ZX Spectrum support library) v. 1.5.0 (4/2/2025, Mentore Siesto) | Readme/What's new |
Here's the latest OS/2 - ArcaOS port of libspectrum, the ZX Spectrum
emulation library from the FUSE project
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse-emulator/)
This version contains all the libspectrum features, plus support for
zlib2, gzip and libaudiofile thanks to my libaudiofile port.
For more informations, check the MAN file in share/man/man3 (or directly
calling man libspectrum via an OS/2 command line).
# Some details
Porting libspectrum was almost straightforward. After installing all
the needed libraries, though, I had to install libaudiofile and then
tweak (a lot) the standard configure script. This because it requires
an old configuration file for libaudiofile, which is not included
anymore. So I just decided to remove all the configure lines referring
that file and hardwired the statements to include libaudiofile.
Make and Make install completed the job.
If you want to have a look at the source code (didn't have to modify it)
you can check my github repository at
https://github.com/MentoreSiesto/libspectrum2
with the included configure script.
Please consider the idea of helping me in OS/2 software development by
giving me some feedback and (in the future) sponsoring my project.
Thanks for everything
