	[[Exophase]] took most of the summer of 2004 to rewrite MegaZeux using [[SDL]], in order to eliminate DOS-specific limitations, solve MegaZeux's accumulating compatibility issues, and eventually expand MegaZeux onto other platforms. The Robotic editor's source code, long missing, was entirely rewritten. Many other source modules were either completely rewritten or heavily revised. After intense testing, MZX 2.80 was released on August 9, 2004, only intended for 32-bit Windows platforms. A slew of bug reports arising from public testing shortly followed, and Exophase quickly updated with three incremental versions within one month, also adding official support for Linux and Mac OS X. Other MegaZeuxers helped in various capacities; for example, [[ajs\|ajs's]] and [[MadBrain\|mad's]] GDM conversion code was a basis for SAM conversion code. Later on, ajs would write support to abstract file operations for case sensitive file systems, and additional graphical renderers were designed by [[LogiCow]] and [[Mr_Alert]].

	With MegaZeux's source code newly available, [[~~Spider124~~]] presented a beta of his own version, MegaZeux 2.51 s1, in 1999. Among new features were a vastly expanded [[counter]] limit (1000, compared to 2.51's 50 counters), true mouse support, player coordinate counters, and many bug fixes. Three more "Spider" versions (the latter two credited to [[JZig]]) were released until early 2000, bowing out with 2.51 s3.1.

	In 2001, [[MadBrain]] added the [[bimesg]] built-in counter to optionally disable MZX's default message text and trivially removed password protection for editing worlds, releasing his modifications as MZX 2.51 s3.2. Madbrain further modified s3.2 with the introduction of the [[Super MZX\|SMZX]] graphics mode, releasing this version as SMZX 100 Alpha.
