This is great stuff. Full stop. I installed it on Windows 10x64 and it ran right out of the box. Portable version would of course be appreciated, but it is sufficient to just grab the files the installer dropped and accept the minor issue that Fuse puts a file called fuse.cfg into the %USERPROFILE% directory once you save the configuration. People who want to use the Interface 1 would need to grab a ROM from somewhere, as this peripheral ROM for whatever reasons is not part of the bundle. I simply took it from EightyOne (which does not handle the IF-1 well), renamed it to se-1.rom and copied it into ./Fuse/roms/. Worked like a charm. Configuration hint: I recommend disabling the weird "Random Length MDR Cartridge" (Fuse|Options|Media) option and set MDR Cartridge Len to 254 which is as long as it can possibly get with the MDR format (254 sectors). Thanks for the effort put into this great piece of software. It is highly appreciated.

Brilliant emulator.

Fuse is a very accurate and feature rich emulator. It emulates a great number of Spectrum models and clones, plus some peripherals. The monitor/debugger also is great, I use it regularly. Small improvements could be done in user interface and documentation, but this does not diminish it's value.
