ZEsarUX Spectrum Next Emulation on Retropie -Help

Post by Duglis »

Hi, I have been tinkering with the ZEsarUX on the Retropie 4. I don't know which version it is, however. It's from 2023. I think it's before X.

Anyway, to keep it simple. There is a game - head over heels.nex For the ZXSpectrum Next that i'd like to play on the pie on this emulator.

If i default the rom to Zesarux in emulation station, it does not play simply from a launch there. After launch, there is a menu i can bring up with F5. Can anyone please tell me what i must set and what bios files (i already have them in place from 2 years ago for lr-fuse) i need and where they must go and any other extras?

I dont see tbblue(ZX spectrum Next) on the menu list of machines when i bring up F5 and peruse the machine list.

So simply put, what must i set on the menu to play this game? Or should i make the emulator default in the emulators.cfg file to
ZXSpectrumNext = "/opt/retropie/emulators/zesarux/bin/zesarux --mmc-file tbblue.mmc --enable-mmc --enable-divmmc-ports --machine tbblue %ROM%" ?

i have the tbblue.mmc .h .c and loader.rom sitting on my computer desktop waiting to put them anywhere you tell me to ! be well! -Doug S

Hi.

The version number is shown on the main menu pressing F5.
You'll need a newer ZEsarUX version to play H&H; you must wait until the Retropie team compiles it or you may try to compile it by yourself.
The Next machine is located under the Vtruco&FBLabs on the Machine selection menu
Cheers
