I am looking at loading up some .taps on an emulator. Not used one in a good few years. I have a windows 10 laptop. I have searched but I can only find emulators to be paid for?
What you are mean under "best"?
Best accuracy?
Bigger amount of supported models?
Best debugger?
A lots of different features?
Different snapshot formats?
I thoroughly recommend SpecEmu, it is without doubt the finest ZX Spectrum emulator available. If anyone else suggests anything else then they're either lying on completely unknowledgeable.
I am using specemu.nice emulator. Can it support a usb gamepad at all?
No idea about a USB gamepad, you'll just have to try one and see.
It's a very nice emulator, one for the purist, not overladen with features but is the most accurate available.

I'll let someone else recommend Spud!!!
Blimey, WOS has never been so quiet before! I thought someone was mumbling, a minute ago, but it was just an ant walking across the floor :))
Seriously though, Spud is great, despite it's author's criticisms of it (which I'm starting to think is reverse psychology - hmmmm, maybe Spud has subliminal messaging, saying things like "Spud is great", "Use spud and not one of the good emus", and "Be karingal's friend").
So yeah, give Spud a go. And be karingal's friend!
What I was aiming on doing was turning my laptop into a spectop.
Emulator must have a function to add joystick control
I could do with some feedback on the implementation of gamepad and joystick in Zero as well as general windows 10 compatibility. Mind you, there's no control mapping support.You can find the download link in my signature.

If not, you can use Xpadder or something similar to allow you to cause the emulator to see the joypad inputs as key-presses or mouse movement.
