Quote from: GUNHED on 13:06, 23 November 22Any kind of adaptors with PCB edge are dodgy, therefore I want to omit the edge problematic. For this reason I did ask for a Centronics or MX4 version. Will this ever be made?
The edge slot and plug are brand new. There is no reason that will make it not properly working, except if you have already issues with your Centronics port. Now, if you prefer, you can use an edge to centronics ribbon cable instead (to be not rigid).

Well, I aim to omit edge completely to have a stable system. With stable I mean here in the way of having 'movement' on my desk - and no crash.

Hello.
I don't want to be annoying, but when have you scheduled a delivery to my adress, since the time? 
Thank you in advance for your answer, Abalore.
Best regards.

i have recieved mine,but as mi cpcs are out, i only can admire the box.

@JayBlood Sorry, I can't said more than my previous answer to you, 3 months ago.

The Alcon 2020 combo versions was not all shipped, so the Play2CPC box alone are delayed.

Argh. thanks for answer Toto.

Good evening, I am interested in a copy. Can you send me the information to add me to the waiting list or send it to me?
THANK YOU

Hi, any news about the wiki page for play2cpc?
Mostly interested in some code examples, channels, video raster, I guess they are basically like playcity. but to be sure..

I hope soon some emulator adds this device to make tests easier.., I guess cpcec with Playcity would be similar..

It's been more than 6 months since I received it, better late than never

,
and it works well with Alcon2000 and the C4CPC, so happy

GUNHED · 14:44, 25 June 23

Is there a developer documentation for the Play2CPC already? I would love to support it with my software.

Your mailbox is full!

Are you still making these up?

darkhalf · 05:00, 14 February 24

From what I've read here in other threads, these are not been made. Support and building them sounds like a pain and prices of parts have gone up. XC95144XL used for this are now around $40AUD each.

I've messaged @gerald to purchase blank PCBs or even order my own board, but need the gerber for that. Plus the JED for programming the CPLD. No response. Full mailbox makes sense then

From what I've read so far the Xilinx was memory mapped to pass instructions to the firmware on the MCU to interface to the menu system. It also does the noca$h ACID replacement inside the Xilinx. The flash memory to CPC is the easy part, where the MCU just controls the upper address lines to change which ROM is being accessed, and provides a mechanism to upload new ROMs. Would have been a fair bit of time and work to put that all together into what it was

I think you are talking about another device.

ACE-DL emulate the Play2CPC (cartridge + one YM + VROM)

@abalore sorry the above was the C4CPC

For the Play2CPC, currently waiting for a shipping price. Last message was 24 Jan:

QuoteI have some of them of the v4.3 version (the latest). At a price of 25 euro without enclosure. I have to check the shipping cost.

Please reply back when you get a chance and I can sort that one

Thanks. I'm just looking to use the board for cart development, so don't need the extra channels etc

Blank_Reg · 19:09, 15 February 24

So, is the Play2CPC still being made up and who could I order one from? Thanks
