Thanks for all these years of making board and supporting it with new firmwares and answering user on CPCWiki.

The XiAleste by h2w is a recreation with modern components of an upgraded Amstrad CPC 6128 presented on Hackaday (the sound is upgraded notably). The PCB of the XiAleste is available as is the FGPA code source of the XiAleste both on Github. You can read informations on the XiAleste on CPC Wiki.

You will find below informations from 2019 about the Aleste 520EX which inspired the XiAleste.

The Aleste 520EX is a russian clone of the Amstrad CPC and the MSX. It works not with AMSDOS but with the MSX DOS (see this russian site in english). There was already a thread about the Aleste 520EX on CPCWiki, but this time Sebastian Blanco is talking about the Aleste kit he just bought. Finally he isnt the only one in the Amstrad CPC community to have one. If you are interesting it's seems to possible to buy one kit by writing to tetroid at inbox ru like Sebastian did.

You can see a youtube video of an Aleste 520EX running the Phortem demo by Condense (and MSX games at the start of the video).

A modified version of Caprice32 permits to emulate at least in part the Aleste 520EX.
