What is xAce?

xAce is an emulator for the Jupiter Ace that runs under most flavours of Unix. It was written by Edward Patel and based on a ZX81 emulator called xz81 written by Russell Marks, which was in turn based on Ian Collier's xz80, a ZX Spectrum emulator for X.

Compiling

First download and extract the source code from: GitHub.
From the root directory of the repository. Create the Makefiles:
$ cmake .

Now run 'make' from the same directory:
$ make

The binary executable will now be in src/, to install it to a sensible location such as /usr/local/bin run the following as root:
$ make install

For the moment xAce must be run from a terminal window and from the same directory in which the rom image is to be found. So from the current directory run:
./xace

Please see the README for more details.
