One of the lesser known available for Mac - https://github.com/TomHarte/CLK

It can emulate zx80/81 and ZX Spectrum.

I've started to used NO$ZX emulator under DosBox on my Mac.

It works great, and has a great debugger built in.

Built against libsdl 1.2 installed using homebrew.

Had to edit sdl_main.c and sdl.h to remove the SDL/ from include statements.

But other than that it runs and can load games.
I had to tweak the Makefile.OSX as well to get it to build properly on M1:
Change:
CFLAGS+=-mmacosx-version-min=10.6 -arch i386 -arch x86_64
to
CFLAGS+=-mmacosx-version-min=13.2
and
Change:
LDFLAGS=-mmacosx-version-min=10.6 -arch i386 -arch x86_64
to
LDFLAGS=-mmacosx-version-min=13.2
Also, replace -Wl,-framework, SDL with -lSDL in LIBS
LIBS=-L/opt/homebrew/lib/ -lSDLmain -lSDL -Wl,-framework,AppKit -Wl,-framework,Cocoa -Lsndrender -lsndrender
But now it compiles without any problems and runs fine on M1 Mac

Runs great on my M1! And the little bug with the line showing is gone. Thanks for the update!
