ESP Soft's blog is open since the 14th July 2009. It's mostly about programmation for Amstrad CPC, how to use the CCZ80 compiler by Emilio Guerrero, with code source of the Xilen war game.

google translation of the ESP Soft blog

P.S. : see CCZ80++ now.

For those who would be interested in programming applications for Amstrad CPC in C language, you have at least 3 possibilities :

• Z88dk v1.9 with cpcrslib (Amstrad CPC library for Z88dk) : several programs including an Amstrad CPC+ demo (Phat) have been programmed with Z88dk already
• Small Device C Compiler v2.9.0 : Contiki and the pheelone demo has been compiled with SDCC, any other program that someone would know ?
• CCZ80 v2.07 by Emilio Guerrero. This compiler can be used for developping Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and MSX programs on windows (command line application, with a GUI included). Gommy, Defensor Medieval a ZX Spectrum game has been programmed with CCZ80. There are 2 Amstrad CPC librairies usable for CCZ80 : cpcrslib (adapted from cpcrslib for Z88dk) and sprutilcpc ( included with CCZ80), but no Amstrad CPC program seems to have been programmed yet with CCZ80. If you have, let me know please.

CPC Wiki has moved, dont forget to change your bookmark. Beware, you cant edit the wiki at the moment.

From Scratch is a french Amstrad CPC demo by the Vanity demo group (Hicks and Beb) with sound by Tom & Jerry, a 6 mn multipart demo needing a CRTC 1 to run due to hardware tricks, also disable "Plus PPI emulation" if used with the WinAPE emulator (Go Settings then General).

Though you can see a video of From Scratch on Youtube, it will be better to use a real Amstrad CPC or an emulator.

Following news arent exactly new (2007 and 2008 when I wasnt very active). I am still doing them for those who wouldnt know it, and to add the files on the site. It's also a prelude for new features on this site.

Sappy is a french Amstrad CPC+ demo by the Semilanceata group, released in January 2007.

You can see a video of Sappy on Google Video.

Allergy is a french Amstrad CPC+ demo by Semilanceata.

You can see a video of Allergy on Youtube, but it's better to use a real Amstrad CPC or an emulator.

Synergy is a french Amstrad CPC demo by CMP / Impact. Type RUN"synergy2.koh for a cheat part

The video of Synergy 2 on Youtube has audio/video synchronization problems FYI.

Synergy is a french Amstrad CPC+ demo by AsT / Impact (code), AsT and Iron (graphics), Scavenger (music).

Though you can see a video of Synergy on Youtube, it will be better to use a real Amstrad CPC or an emulator.

Larsen is an Amstrad CPC+ demo by OFE released in December 2007.
