Opening RZX Files
The RZX file type is primarily associated with Fuse.
What is an RZX file?
RZX files mostly belong to Fuse. RZX files are recordings used by ZX Spectrum emulators.
These files capture the internal state and input events of a ZX Spectrum session. They do not store a traditional video but rather the sequence of commands needed to recreate the session.

- Emulator session: The file records how the system and game behaved during play.
- Efficient storage: The data is kept in a compressed form to reduce file size.
- Playback requirement: A compatible emulator such as Fuse or Spectaculator is needed to replay the recording.
