I just found a video on YouTube presenting CPCBox and a Java-based Spectrum Emulator:


Play ZX Spectrum and CPC games in your browser!

At least the video shows that CPC-Box looks much better than the small javabased Spectrum one

Good enough for the Ides of March. Not like we're expecting a new and improved version every single day mate

An option to actually play the wav to the user?

Not really, but listening to the tape loading soothes my nerves

Is it possible to have cpcbox as a packaged chrome app? That would allow me to use it offline as well as online. It could also be in the chrome store.


It's a fantastic website by the way.

Oh, that's a great idea...

But I see a problem with the Chrome web store: it only works with the Chrome browser!
And that's not good I think. I prefer to see CPCBox running equally on any browser that respect web standards

Does it run on IE now? If not, Chrome is all you need

Nope, it fails on IE11 due to Uint8ClampedArray

[TFM]

Well, guess I stick with Chrome then...

Here's something completely unrelated, but really the news is of importance (when you remember what happened in the past in this thread)!

According to this post, MAME will switch from their current not-for-profit license to the BSD license:
David Haywood's Homepage » The End? Newer Update

Basically, it means that everyone is now authorized to make commercial exploitation of the MAME sourcecode.
And that decision has been taken without consulting the people who contributed in the project.

So, at the moment, I'm having a thought for all the volunteers that believed in the lies of the MAME team, contributing to the MAME project naively believing that they were protected by the MAME license that there wouldn't ever be any leechers legally making money out of their work.

The moral of the story is that if you decide to publish your code with an open-source license, you'll loose every concrete control on the code you worked hard for.
And there's just enough malevolant people in this world that it won't be long before those people will rip your work and exploit it for their sole profit.

The proof has been made by the MAME team

Haze loves his drama

Current situation is:  MAME core will be BSD, and MAME and MESS devices and drivers will be licensed according to the wishes of the author(s) (MAME, BSD, LGPL, or GPL).

The MAME license is essentially BSD with a non-commercial clause. 

Taking those malevolent people to court costs money.  MAMEdev doesn't have that sort of money.

A 'malevolent' person could equally take any other emulator out there and sell "it" (actually they're not selling the emulators, rather they sell compilations of ROMs and programs; that's entirely different). So while I understand your way of thinking the overall picture doesn't change...
