How to open fuse as an external emulator in ZXBasic Studio for +2a/b/+3- Windows 11 - tubz74 - 2025-10-05
ZXStudio doesn't support +3/+2a etc in the included emulator. Requires at least Beta 6 of ZXBasicStudio
Use Project/Configure Project to configure.
Example Compiler Parameters
-O 0 -S 32768 -H 4768 -f tap -B -a
(The bold was auto generated, underscore are the options added "-f tap" to create a tap file, "-B -a" required to Generate the basic file and auto start.
Example Launch External Emulator
C:\zx\projects\DOSTesting\ZXStartFuse.bat
This has to be a batch file, rather than direct to the emulator, %1 and %2 are passed into the batch file for ZXBasicStudio - %1 is the path, and %2 the filename excluding the extension.
ZXStartFuse.bat created in the OS, and renamed.
Code:
ECHO OFF
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Fuse\fuse.exe" -m plus3 --auto-load %1%2.tapThis would open a plus3 spectrum in fuse and run the tap file.
(Thanks to support from telegram for getting this to work ..)

Interesting tip.
Since @Duefectu (not sure if mentions work in this forum) is the main maintainer, you can open an Issue in the ZXBStudio project and ask for this tip to be implemented.

I was following this in Telegram also as I wanted to open 'Fuse' for the 48k Spectrum. I managed to do this also.
The Custom Complier Parameters I set for this are :- ' -O 3 -S 32768 -H 10000 --enable-break --explicit -i --strict -f tap -B -a'
and the .bat file code is :- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Fuse\fuse.exe" -m 48 --auto-load %1%2.tap
