Amstrad CPC Emulator (PSPUpdates)

For those of you old schoolers who love the Spectrum and Commodore 64 emulators, here's a new one to leave you in a coma of nostalgic reverie. Nige has created the first Amstrad CPC (Color Personal Computer) emulator called CPCPSP. It's still a work in progress, but it's great to see another classic system added to the PSP's repertoire.
Version 0.1 contains:
  • Without sound, about 92% of original CPC speed
  • With sound, about 75% of original CPC speed
  • Emulation of the 464, 664 or 6128
  • 64/128k snapshot support
  • Very accurate emulation

To run the emulator, you need to unzip the files to the PSP\GAME folder on your PSP, then add a snapshot named 'snapsnot.sna' to the 'Snap' folder. Unfortunately I'm not able to supply snapshots so please don't ask for them - however all of the main CPC emulators can create them..

Once in the emulator, press Start to load the snapshot. Press Select to toggle the CPU speed between 133 and 300 Mhz. X is Fire, O is Fire2. L is '1', R is '3' (this helps to get Cybernoid 2 up and running).

This has only been tested on firmware 1.50. Please let me know if it works on firmware 1.0 or 2.0 with the eboot loader.

The default is to have sound enabled. You can edit the config file 'cap32.cfg' to change this. Changing the other options is a Bad Thing at the moment!
