What is Retro Virtual Machine?

Retro Virtual Machine (or RVM for short) works natively in MacOs (from version Mavericks 10.9), Linux (any modern distribution) and in Microsoft Windows (from Windows Vista). RVM emulates the full spectrum of the official models of ZX Spectrum, as well as some clones like Inves Spectrum+ and the ZXUno.

The most notable features are precise 192-bit sound emulation with no lags (sound stays in sync with video), and a perfect, shader-based CRT display emulation, along with Multicolor, Scanlines, Phosphor afterglow, RF noises, and Weak sync. Last but not least are the details like clacking tape drive, humming floppies and so on.

Retro computers available for emulation:

  • Spectrum 16k/48k
  • Spectrum 128k
  • Spectrum +2
  • Spectrum +2A
  • Spectrum +3
  • Inves Spectrum+
  • ZX-Uno
  • Amstrad CPC 464
  • Amstrad CPC 664
  • Amstrad CPC 6128
