Joyce v2.5.4 by John Elliott, an Amstrad PCW emulator

-

The Amstrad PCW emulator Joyce v2.5.4 by John Elliott is available for unix, windows and MacOS. The only change in this version is to correct the default palette used by the built-in GSX driver, so it matches the GSX manual (and DDMODE0 / DDMODE1 on the CPC).

The version 2.5.3 in 2024 did add the emulation of a proprietary communication interface : the PCW Linkit which links two PCW (click on the link PCW hardware information) whereas the LocoLink did link a PCW to another computer with its parallel port (PC, PcW16 or a PCW 9512 with a third-party software). The Linux build also has another feature : you can now use JOYCE as a terminal to your system's command line, so you can use MAIL232 (or other PCW terminal program of your choice) in the same way that you would an xterm.
