Single-Board Computers / Raspberry Pi

LibRetro / RetroArch is used as the foundation of Lakka, Recalbox, Batocera and RetroPie alternative OS distributions for the Raspberry Pi and other SBC. But you can also use RetroArch for Amstrad CPC emulation on a stock Raspberry Pi OS. Or you can use these stand-alone CPC emulators:

Printers

Support for CPC printers is abysmal in all emulators. The only emulators that at least do some print rendering emulation are JavaCPC and Caprice Forever.

Rewind feature

ACE-DL has a rewind feature, but it is not as good as it could be: Demonstration of rewind in ACE-DL

Only the RetroArch CPC emulator has a proper rewind feature: Demonstration of rewind in RetroArch. To reverse the game, the user press and hold the rewind button. And at any point, releasing the button makes time goes forward again.

A very simple approach would be to make a SNA for each frame and limit the RAM snapshot to 128KB, which is ok for 99% of CPC software. For a 10-seconds long rewind functionality, only 64MB RAM is needed (128KB * 50 frames * 10 seconds).

A more efficient approach is to store only the values that are changed in RAM between two frames, so that RAM can be restored when rewinding. This allows for long rewinds, even of a CPC equipped with a 4MB RAM expansion. Proof of it is the GBA emulator SkyEmu demonstrating super long rewind while needing very few RAM.

For debugging, going back to the previous instruction is easily implemented. The emulator has to store the time when the previous instruction was executed so that he can go back to that instruction. In the same way, emulators can provide access to the previous HBL, IRQ, VBL, etc.

Emulator Detection

If you want to promote usage of real CPC computers, you can detect CPC emulators by:

Checking if the memory is initialized with zeroes, as real machines have random memory values at boot
Focusing on the minute details in Z80, CRTC and PPI chips. They are most often wrong in emulators
Examining the FDC chip. It is only replicated more or less superficially in all emulators because the internals of the chip are still unknown

Combining these methods will definitely get you a 100% success rate in detecting emulators, even the toughest ones.

Emulator undetected
Emulator detected

There is also this initiative for emulators who willingly want to be detected: Emulator IDs

+<br>
+= Printers =
+Support for CPC printers is abysmal in all emulators.
+The only emulators that at least do some print rendering emulation are JavaCPC and Caprice Forever.
+<br>
+= Rewind feature =
+ACE-DL has a rewind feature, but it is not as good as it could be: [https://youtu.be/wIKGvpnJLUo Demonstration of rewind in ACE-DL]
+Only the RetroArch CPC emulator has a proper rewind feature: [https://youtu.be/YwilYlSe5LQ Demonstration of rewind in RetroArch]. To reverse the game, the user press and hold the rewind button. And at any point, releasing the button makes time goes forward again.
+A very simple approach would be to make a SNA for each frame and limit the RAM snapshot to 128KB, which is ok for 99% of CPC software. For a 10-seconds long rewind functionality, only 64MB RAM is needed (128KB * 50 frames * 10 seconds).
+A more efficient approach is to store only the values that are changed in RAM between two frames, so that RAM can be restored when rewinding. This allows for long rewinds, even of a CPC equipped with a 4MB RAM expansion. Proof of it is the GBA emulator [https://youtu.be/Sfc_1NKbiKg SkyEmu demonstrating super long rewind] while needing very few RAM.
+For debugging, going back to the previous instruction is easily implemented. The emulator has to store the time when the previous instruction was executed so that he can go back to that instruction. In the same way, emulators can provide access to the previous HBL, IRQ, VBL, etc.

+= Emulator Detection =
+If you want to promote usage of real CPC computers, you can detect CPC emulators by:
+*Checking if the memory is initialized with zeroes, as real machines have random memory values at boot
+*Focusing on the minute details in Z80, CRTC and PPI chips. They are most often wrong in emulators
+*Examining the FDC chip. It is only replicated more or less superficially in all emulators because the internals of the chip are still unknown
+Combining these methods will definitely get you a 100% success rate in detecting emulators, even the toughest ones.
