PlayCity aka CTC-AY (MX4) for August !!!

[Ast]

Because some parts see their prices increased and the EUR going low, I can't keep the actual low price for the PlayCity. (19.90€)After the current batch will be emply, the price will increase to 24.90€. Thank you for understanding. 

It's ok for me...

[CraigsBar]

Yikes that means my 2nd one for early next year will become more expensive. Oh well let's get x-mass out of the way first.

[Ast]

TotO : be careful, the price hasn't been changed in centpourcent.net 

[TotO]

You can see 24.90€ 19.90€ price actually.
When the actual batch will be empty, it will change to 24.90€ only.

[Ast]

 
Price displayed, price sold. People are like that.... I suggest you to change the price now, so no problems !

[TotO]

The goal is not to make profit...
If peoples want to send more, they can use the "Thank you" option.

I know it.

Does someone have a version of an emulator (Mame, Mess or anything else) which can use playcity feature? I need a compiled version (.exe file)


Thanks.

[CraigsBar]

javaCPC does it I believe.

Hi! Well, maybe somebody can help me. I had a nice PlayCity documentation, the cats killed it. And somehow I can't find the file on my computer or on the internet.


Can somebody please the PlayCity PDF here? Would be awesome :-)))

[TotO]

So... Type CAT ! 

[TFM]

So... Type CAT ! 

Can't... see what happens then... .have to wait until my new monitor for the CPC arrives. My last one died too, the cat hit if off the table...

[TotO]

I have just sent to you an email...
But, the PlayCity - CPCWiki page should be enough.

[Ast]

For all PlayCity users :
-Is it possible to make more than 1 raster interrupt?
-Is it possible to make simple splitscreen ?

Can't... see what happens then... .have to wait until my new monitor for the CPC arrives. My last one died too, the cat hit if off the table...

is this a monster cat ? 

[TFM]

is this a monster cat ? 

No but named after the famous Snake'n'Jakes Christmas Club Lounge in New Orleans, maybe the cat took it to the heart.


Just got a refund for a Sony trinitron I bought at ebay, but the seller never sent it. So I will use ebay again to get a monitor (since I just don't know a better way). Some luck and in 2 weeks I have a working CPC system again...

As an early birthday present for myself, i am going to put here one of those hacks that i have in my HD.

It's a firmware patched to use the PlayCity YMZs instead of the internal PSG. Using this every software using the firmware to make sound, it will use the PlayCity; x1 is using one of the YMZs, x2 is playing the same in both... i should make a better patch using the nice stereo capabilities of the PlayCity but i am extremely lazy and i have other hacks that made a much better use of the PlayCity YZMs... VGM anyone?!?!?

Aside of all the basic programs, there is a few commercial games too, my actual list is based in the Megachur fantastic work of ripping game musics, and those are the actual games that i have tested:

I have attached the roms as 16 KBs files and as 32 KBs files, those are ready for being used in the real machine or mame, the only emulator in this moment supporting some of the functionality of PlayCity.

Always a pleasure to read from you @SyX

[SyX]

@TFM: Sorry for being so busy/offline Stefan, but only a few more months and i will be more free for doing great CPC things. Your guys have made a lot of wonderful things in the last years and i will need to work harder for reaching the new level of quality that it's now standard in the CPC

So... If I understand this correctly, this firmware will redirect the audio to the PlayCity instead of the internal ay for all the above listed games etc? I may have to try this. Any chance of it fitting into fw3.1x at any time?

If everybody would do so much for the CPC as you then we would have:
- CPCs as common computers in every home
- Android running on mCPC (mobile CPC, used instead of an cell phone)
- Amsnet instead of Internet and Skynet
- an alien invasion, because they are jealous about our CPC technology 

It's totally ok to deal with real life first, as told a couple month or less are not the problem. We've been waitiing for things over 20 years.
