Installation

The simplest procedure is building it for Linux:

sudo apt install libsdl1.2-dev xorg-dev
./configure
make clean
make

As of March 2026: it's possible to build it for other platforms, even a cross build on Linux for Windows 64, but additional work is then needed, among others, a modification of the configure script and a few source files and a suitable building of the SDL 1.

Run

To run, the following command line worked with the SD image containing NextZXOS 2.09.:

./zesarux  --noconfigfile --nosplash --quickexit --def-f-function f4 reset \
     --disablerealjoystick --no-native-linux-realjoy \
    --joystickemulated kempston \
    --frameskip 1 \
    --zoom 1 \
    --enable-divmmc-ports --enable-mmc \
    --mmc-file FULL_PATH_TO_SD_IMAGE

Read how to download or create the SD card image on the: MAME:Installing#Creating_and_manipulating_NextZXOS_SD_card_image page

Notes: The upstream zesarux can't use big images because it loads them into RAM - but zenext doesn't do/suffer that. zenext does non-exclusive file locking, so you can mount from OS and emulator at same time.
