Glukalka is an emulator software that replicates the features of ZX Spectrum 48K/128K and its clones, allowing users to experience the functionalities of the system on their devices.
One of the notable features of Glukalka is its ability to emulate various devices such as ZX Spectrum 48K and 128K; Pentagon 128K; and Scorpion ZS 256. Additionally, it can emulate Spectrum's AY-3-8910 chip on workstations with soundcard and Spectrum's beeper on workstations with a sound card. It supports various joysticks such as Kempston, Sinclair, and Cursor, which you can use with a keyboard.
Glukalka lets you load snapshots in .SNA or .Z80 format, tape images in .TAP, .TZX, or .WAV format, disk images in .TRD or .SCL format, and poke instructions in .POK format. You can also save snapshots in .Z80 format, tape images in .TAP, .TZX, or .WAV format, disk images in .TRD format, and poke instructions in .POK format.
As an added benefit, Glukalka comes with a Graphic User Interface that uses OSF/Motif® and supports different color resolutions such as 8/15/16/32-bit. You can also scale the screen size normally or in a double-screen configuration. Other video effects, such as Bilinear Filtering and Scan Lines, provide a nostalgic feel when using the emulator.
Moreover, you can use a real tape recorder with the emulator and view the AY volume leds when using sound emulation. The emulator configuration is stored in a file '.glukalka' in your home directory.
To use Glukalka, you'll need a UNIX-like operating system, XFree86 Server, and an OSF/Motif® library such as LessTif. In summary, Glukalka is a feature-packed emulator that delivers a seamless experience for ZX Spectrum 48K/128K and Spectrum clones enthusiasts.
