In other news I have also build firmware versions for C64, Amiga, Atari ST, Sega MD/Genesis & Amiga CD32. Due to different hardware characteristics, you can not use your CPC Imperium Solo with the mentioned machines, without modifications (changing 0 ohm SMD resistors).

New firmware update.

Imperium Solo firmware update v1.1.0
Changes:

• Added support for TribeRetro Wireless controller
• Added support for Smart Controller Wireless TGZ-850M

Both wireless controllers are very cheap.
I got the TribeRetro from the UK for 5 GBP + 3GBP shipping, now unfortunately price increased to 9 GBP + shipping, so iNNEXT (same quality) or similar from China is probably the same or cheaper.

Anyway the ebay links for these two:
TribeRetro (with buildin rechargable battery):

TIP: price is again down to 4.95 GBP. Imho. a very good price if you want to add wireless controller to your CPC

Some news about the Imperium Solo hardware: PCB revision 1.0.4 is now shipping.
It is more universal, as it has mini jumpers (2 mm) so it can be configured between Amstrad, Amiga, Atari ST, C64, CD32 & SEGA MD/GENESIS.
Also tested with Atari XEGS (C64 firmware) and SEGA Master System (C64 firmware).
A microUSB connector for external powersupply was added, for computers not providing enough power for certain (rechargable) gamepads (AMIGA!). Setable via jumper.
However it also means I had to increase the price slightly for version to be used with AMSTRAD (sorry!), as I have to include microUSB to DC socket + DC Y-splitter cable. (and 2.1MM <-> 2.5mm adapter for CPC plus). First post was updated to reflect that.

Would be great if you continue to produce the Amstrad-only version too.

Would be great if you continue to produce the Amstrad-only version too. 

It was always configurable, just via 0 ohm smd resistors instead of jumpers, due to wanting to keep it as small as possible. 2 mm jumpers and some re-arranging helped succeding that, infact new pcb is a couple of mm shorter.
If someone wants the DC cable permanently soldered on like the first versions, no problem. I will sell these 1 euro cheaper (since I still have 30 of these cables with DC socket).
