ZEsarUX v4.2 is a multi platform emulator, Amstrad CPC 464 included. You can compile the unix sources directly or get a binary for :

• linux 32/64 bits
• Mac OS X
• Windows
• Raspberry pi (raspbian)

Coming from Sugarbox code, SugarCOnvDisk can convert disks images between differents formats : dsk, edsk, supercard pro, HFE, IPF, CT-raw, Raw (kryoflux) to dsk/edsk, scp, IPF, HFE. It also supports batch and filtering.

A new version of the Amstrad CPC emulator Sugarbox is out.

ACE v1.13 by Philippe Rimauro is an Amstrad CPC emulator for MorphOS.

This version brings several enhancements for cross-development (thanks to Krusty). It corrects also several small bugs and brings some enhancements in emulation code (thanks to Kevin Thacker). Then, it brings structural modifications to ameliorate portability and 64bit compatibility.

The last version of the Amstrad CPC emulator CapriceRPI (v 1.3) by KaosOverride for Raspberry PI is available with a fix for using joysticks. He is working on version 1.4.

This emulator based on the sources of Caprice32 by Ulrich Doewich, can also be compiled on something else than a PI with the following command : make -f makefile.notpi.

Prior to compilation, you must install the following dependances (including SDL v1.2 from memory) :

• libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
• libfreetype6-dev
• libsdl-image1.2-dev

The windows utility CDTMaster by Oscar Martin exists as v3 since 2015 (works also under linux with mono). It is a Taper like utility, it includes other options like importing files from a DSK, converting files into TZX/CDT blocks (like 2cdt) and convert CDT to WAV (like playtzx).

Caprice Forever by Frédéric Coste is a modified version of the Caprice emulator (by Ulrich Doewich) for windows.

• Fix lightgun regressions
• Update tape auto playing
• Fix FDC Bad CRC faulty behaviour
• Fix FDC regression (Anneau de Zengara)
• Fix command line parameters
• Add some more command line parameters
• Restore disk sides flipping to read multi-sided disk images
• DirectX becomes default graphics renderer
• Add spanish machines
• Update disk autorun behavior
• Fix IPF decoding (KickOff2)
• Fix minor bugs

If 2CDT is used to manage Amstrad CPC tape images, the new version of cpcxfs by Kevin Thacker is used to manage Amstrad CPC disk images.

This new version fixes :

• errors shown with static analysis
• cpcxfs will correctly set ERRORLEVEL command-line variable under more error conditions
• there is more bug I forget them sorry

New version of the 2CDT utility by Kevin Thacker which lets you create a tape image file (.CDT) or inject files inside.

New feature of this version : you can define the sync byte for headerless.

Corrected in this version :

• command-line processing under windows and linux has been re-written. It is a lot better
• if you uses the mode with 2 blocks and you gave it a file which was shorter than a block it would not write it correctly. Now fixed
• When using pure tone it didn't write the length of the '1' pulse correctly
• Some issues seen when running static analysis over the code.

Kyuran wrote on Twitter to announce an incoming version of the Amstrad CPC emulator CrocoDS on OSX. And also a development environment for Pico-8 on Amstrad CPC.

ACE v1.12 by Philippe Rimauro is an Amstrad CPC emulator for MorphOS.

This new version fixes some issues in CRTC emulation (mostly on CRTC 0/2 since CRTC 1/3/4 are already almost perfect 8) ). It also extends the plugins API and comes with new plugins for mice and joysticks.
