Amstrad CPC hardware / Re: Universal Serial Interface for Amstrad CPC

« Last post by krusty_benediction on Today at 10:05 »

Nice project@Duke: do you think it can be used in association with the M4 in order to debug a CPC runing application from the PC ?. The M4 read memory from the CPC and send it to the PC through this interface

Thanks Widukind.

I ran across Xnview a few months ago while looking for something else, has anyone used this program?
Sorry I should have been more precise regarding Vidi files - these are standard CPC screens grabbed using the Rombo Vidi Digitiser.

Cheers,

Peter

Vidi files I'm not familiar with. General Amstrad Cpc Screen files however could be read with the multi-platform picture viewer Xnview MP. Here is the list which picture file formats it reads.

General Discussion - Introductions / Looking for PC software to view CPC screens

« Last post by ComSoft6128 on Today at 08:56 »

Hi,

Using the Universal USB Interface from Ikonsgr I'm hoping, in the next few weeks, to begin the transfer of software and data files from my D20 CPC disks to the PC world.
Once I've looked thru these files the goal is then to display them in the Wiki for everyone to download.
At least ten (possibly more) of these disks store mode 1 and mode 2 17K CPC Vidi files - in total about 400 files from 1990 to 1994.
Does anyone have any experience in using PC software to view this type of file?
Is there a "gold standard" App that anyone could personally recommend?

Thanks,

Peter

I just tried it after I finished some hw work on the Gotek. I looked at the smooth srolling and saw "PLEASE NOTE:- T H E R E   I S   A   C H E A T   M O D E !". The CPC version have also this feature (not tested, but seen on Youtube).
Just press C,H,E,A,T ...

Nearly a year ago, Ego-trip sent me a lovely compilation of 5 of his games and I've finally got around to reviewing them.

All lovely stuff. I really do appreciate the thought and planning that goes into his puzzle games.

Amstrad CPC hardware / Re: CPC Dandanator Mini 1.3 - WIP

And overCLK shared a video of the updated process.
He is using a patched 1.2 dandanator board to become a 1.3 so don't mind the PCB mods.

Thanks to everyone for your interesting replies to my original post. "Back in the day" I was more interested in the serious software for the CPC and missed most (but not all) of the games scene back then. And a big thank you to Neil Reive for the hard graft required to assemble this list. I imagine that Excel was working overtime!

Cheers,

Peter
