ZEsarUX as recommended
My understanding is that ZEsarUX doesn't really emulate the ZX81; to run ZX81 software it emulates the ZX Spectrum 128kb with a ZX81 simulation ROM and a few additional pieces of hardware. But the video system it emulates is entirely distinct from that of the original hardware and, as a result, huge chunks of software (especially anything with a 'hi-res' video mode) don't work as on a real ZX81.
If my understanding is correct (?), should ZEsarUX really be recommended as a ZX81 emulator? It's a fine piece of software for emulating the Spectrum and QL, but I'm not sure about the ZX81 side of things. — Tommy (talk) 12:11, 21 March 2018 (EDT)
