@Maniac did the labels, you can find them in the wiki, of course.


The file with the labels is slightly larger that A4, so tell the people that print them to not scale the file contents. Anyway, mine was scaled and it's a bit smaller than it should, but still looks good  ;D

So pleased to see someone using the labels!

Bit surprised about the comments re page size as the original Word document was A4. If you print from the PDF though I guess this maybe down to how that format scales documents when you go to print. As you say it should be fine if you don't scale it down.

Is it just me or is the C4CPC courier tracking service really bad?

When a gerard send the c4cpc, in france is transport by the public nacional mail company. When the packet enter in to your country, the company transport is your public nacional company(royal mail). Is royal mail the company fail you, not la poste.

Correos is even worst, they only said packet into the country, in transit, in repart...

When the packet is in your country consult it in royal mail web page, not la poste.

Tracking says it has been delivered today : 6 days journey, right the announced average delivery time to UK.
Now, what La Poste did the 4th and 5th. Either idling so they are sure you don't get before 6 days, or pile up letters before shipping them to UK. I let you guess.

My case arrived last week but with the floods and no power and I now have caught a bug its stopped me from printing a cartridge sticker and posting pics.

I'll do that when I get round to it.

Oh! Forgot to say I got mine! They are almost perfect - the alignment is probably a few microns off, but it's not a problem. I've got one question: how do you close them? Do they just snap in place? I don't wanna try too hard...

Care to share your design?
For as pointed out by...
Quote from: Bryce on 22:54, 13 November 14we also need a minimalist cart replacement: 512K EPROM and a CPLD ACID. These could be made very cheaply and new Cart games could be sold like that too for those who like to own the physical version.
...and seems to have set out on this: http://circuit-board.de/forum/index.php/Thread/15421-Amstrad-GX4000-Flash-Cart/?postID=383014#post383014
I understand Octoate has also been working on such a thing: Octoate/CPCCartridge · GitHub & Octoate's News - ACID Verilog code release

Quote from: TFM on 19:36, 05 January 15Yes, that can be done. And you can even proceed further and make a kind of 6128 Plus out of it. But for some parts you have to SMD solder at ASIC, that's 0.5 mm. Bryce did that for Craig IIRC. There is an original protocol from The Crainium somewhere which describes who to mod a GX4000 into a 6128 Plus.
The Cranium's instructions were in one of French Amstrad 100%'s final issues IIRC (don't have the copy at hand right now).

Buying a new GX4000 and seeing one of these has piqued my interest so I'd be interested in buying one of these, but don't know how to - help!

Get an account first, or else nobody can PM you. Then read the first post.  :)

Sorry about that and I understand I have to contact gerald so I'll do that later, but I hope he accepts PayPal though I'm sure any way to get this

So the C4CPC has problems with the SF2?
If you use an LD BC,&FD11:OUT (C),C to switch all ROMs off, then your software / all Cartridges should run well.
Eventually switch the SF2 ROMs on again with the LD BC,&FD11:IN A,(C) command.


It would be super easy to integrate this to the Cart management software.
