First public release.

eighty-three is a cross-platform ZX81 emulator for macOS, Linux and Windows,
with ZXpand+ support, a built-in debugger and an MCP server that lets an AI agent
drive the machine.

What is in it

  • Cycle-driven ZX81 video (SLOW/FAST, WRX hi-res), beeper and AY-3-8910 sound.
  • The full ZX81 keyboard mapped by physical key position, so any OS layout works
    without switching; an on-screen remap window reads its legends from the ROM.
  • ZXpand+ with the SD card as a folder on your disk, and the ZXpand Commander
    shell.
  • Loads .P, .P81, .Z81, .O, .80, .81; saves .P, .P81, .T81 and
    .Z81 snapshots. .P files load through a real ROM LOAD, so demos auto-start.
  • Debugger: disassembly, register/memory/stack editing, breakpoints - execution,
    conditional, and watchpoints on memory or ports - an inline assembler and a
    BASIC listing view.
  • MCP server with 59 tools (registers, memory, stepping, breakpoints,
    screen-as-text, assembling, loading).
  • Settings window, light/dark themes following the OS, interface scaling, and the
    user guide readable inside the emulator (Info > Help).
