Xyphoe is back with a new longplay of Power Drift on Amstrad CPC (part 1 of 2).

Power Drift is a car race game by Sega, edited on Amstrad CPC by Activision in 1989.

Shame on me, I didnt have yet written about the C4CPC which is for the Amstrad CPC+ and GX4000 cartridge port what the HxC drive emulator was for the disk drive. It is created by Gerald.

BEWARE, using the C4CPC with a GX4000 console and its original alimentation will give you a nice clipboard, for the explanation, it's here.

And of course, with 3D printing, some people went for it to make a C4CPC cartridge with a better look :

• Box/Case per C4CPC (Amstrad GX-4000)
• Retro Special - C4CPC: 3D Printed Case Assembly
• Printing an Amstrad Plus C4CPC cartridge case

Nocart v1.4 for windows will let you convert Amstrad CPC programs in a .CPR file (cartridge image) usable on the C4CPC. Beware, some programs wont work : the keyboard will not work, it means the game must be patched for CPC+ firmware.

A new video by ChinnyVision on Youtube about Advanced Pinball Simulator is available. This pinball game was out on Amstrad CPC in 1988 by Codemasters.

He also tests it on Spectrum, C64 and Atari XL/XE.

The MIST is a Field-programmable gate array (FGPA) board designed to implement classic 16 bit computers like the Amiga and Atari ST(E) as System-on-a-Chip using modern hardware. But it equally well supports 8 bit systems like the Atari XL, ZX81, ZX Spectrum, C64, Atari VCS, Atari 5200, Colecovision, Apple II, Sega Master System, NES, Odyssey2 and of course the Amstrad CPC.

Renaud Helias has written an Amstrad CPC 6128 core for this Mist Board. The last revision of this core can run correctly the Still Rising demo by Vanity (see the youtube video).

A new video by John Gage : synchronized music of Zub (Mastertronic in 1987) on Amstrad CPC (AY in stereo) and C64 (SID in mono).

The original music is written by David Whittaker.

I let you discover the youtube video youtube presenting this Civilizations for C64.

A video of the Amstrad CPC Zona 0 (Topo Soft in 1991) on Youtube by Retro Danuart.

It's a non official clone of the moto game of the original Tron film.

After a vidéo of an Amstrad CPC 6128 modded with 4 Mb of RAM internally, Zaxon shows an Amstrad CPC with an USB floppy emulator (unlike the HXC floppy disk drive emulator using a SD card).

Eight Bit Magazine issue 3 will be this week-end on Kickstarter.
