Lee Cook on Crack'n Rom Nostalgie, quality content about the Amstrad GX4000 console

Always in advance being late, even if I had seen very interesting content by Lee Cook some weeks ago on the Facebook group Amstrad GX4000/PLUS Users and after getting his agreement to publish here both in english and french his findings, I just found yesterday that Crack'n Rom Nostalgie just published one of his writings.

So I invite you to go read it (french only) while waiting for me to work a little more :-)





Multipaint 2025 (Version 3.2.2025) and draw like a star

-

To make so beautiful Amstrad CPC loading screens like Eric Cubizolle (Titan), it's easy, you just need to use the same painting program : Multipaint by Tero Heikkinen AKA Dr. Terrorz, and maybe a bit of talent and mostly a lot of work.

Titan is describing Multipaint as a mmix of OCP Art Studio and Deluxe Paint for windows which offers the possibility of using the resolutions and palettes of a whole bunch of old computers including the Amstrad CPC (mode 0 and 1, overscan possible in mode 0).




Restoring an Amstrad CPC 464 after floods in Spain (2024)

-

The 29th and 30th October 2024, big floods have taken place in the province of Valencia in Spain.

Human losses are to be deplored, nothing will be able to bring them back, enormous damage, lost memories...

However, for the computers that we like, it is possible to do something. I will therefore let you see the restoration of an Amstrad CPC 464 that was found under mud. It looks like archaeology when it comes to removing the layer of mud that is still partly wet !
