The same thing goes for the SAM Coupe, ZX80, Jupiter Ace or any of the other "Spectrum-like" machines out there. That said, I'm more than happy to support anyone who does want to write any of these things. > Perhaps a better option would be to produce a separate ZX81 emulator in > parallel, and try to find the best way to share code between the two? I think this is the right way to approach it. Making bits of Fuse's codebase more reusable in other projects feels to me like the thing to do rather than trying to jam everything together in one "super-executable" which emulates every machine.
