About issue 2 and issue 3 keyboard behaviour

The keyboard of later 48k Spectrums behaves slightly differently to earlier ones. If you have an older game where the keyboard is unresponsive, try enabling issue 2 keyboard emulation.

To emulate an issue 2 or issue 3 keyboard

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.

  2. Click the Keyboard tab.

  3. Click either Issue 2 to emulate an issue 2 keyboard or Issue 3 to emulate an issue 3 keyboard.

  4. Click OK.

Note

  • Spectrum 128s and +2s always behave like an issue 3 48k Spectrum.
