Where are the particular strength of this emulator?
According to its author, It is made in C instead of assembler, it is much more correct internally than the previous CPCE, everything is done by keyboard, there are no menus

Nice! :)
Hello,any solution for Autotype like JavaCPC? :)
i have just discovered this new emulator (release 14/03/2019), maybe the substitute of CPCE95 i still use.
Congratz to CNCSoft :)

Hello,
i just tried your latest version, but i haven't found how disable the console window.
Is a way to hide the console or you still need it for debugging ?
Small update:Can it use ParaDOS v1.2? / Remap keyboard?
20190809 -- minor patch restoring the "silent" discarding (i.e. without error codes) of write operations in read-only discs and allowing the automatic booting of IBM-formatted discs.
While it isn't a very faithful approach to the disc write protection, this should let several copy-protected games run straight from ZIP archives instead of complaining that the disc is read-only. Besides, AFAIK the opposite case never happens: no protection fails when the disc is NOT write-protected.

Ideally, this screen won't happen from now on.
Can it use ParaDOS v1.2? / Remap keyboard?Yes, all you have to do is to swap the default ROM files (AMSDOS and the original English-keyboard firmware) with your own ones. CPCEC will accept them as long as they're compatible, i.e. firmware is a 32k file where the first 16k is the BIOS and the last 16k is the BASIC, and the DOS ROM is 16k and includes a valid high ROM ID.

Hi César,
To complete your crtc 1 emulation, try to make runable Scroll Factory (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=76731).
It would be a good challenge for you and a good way to make your cpcec better.
Have a good fun.
Hi @cngsoft (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=191)Scroll Factory is indeed still incomplete, as I showed in the past screenshots. Either the mode change happens too late or the video rendering happens too soon. I know that there's a delay between what the Z80 does and what the screen shows, but I don't know its nature and its length, or whether it's just one delay or several types of it.
I've just tested CPCEC right now. There's still some work to do on Scroll Factory's intro.
Your emulator begins better and better each day. Do you plan adding Amstrad Plus emulation ?
Hoffe KourçeYes of course :-) Alright then, CPCEC-20191227 is available from my website as usual.
I would assume that any project made as part of the university course could be property of the university, or shared, or something like that.
Same as when you work on something paid by your employer; you don't own it (unless your contract says do).
The less I say about demos the better, too...Hi CNG, it looks (obviously) like a timing issue on SPLT register and SSRon a Plus, the soft scroll register had almost immediate effect (on the next screen "word")the split register adress is loaded in the Asic-CRTC at the end of the displayed screenfor the "face+vector balls" part, the CRTC is set to 256 bytes long so i guess your emulation do not reset to next adress until it's fully displayed (but this cannot be displayed)i guess that because the rubber bar use almost the same split routine -> with different CRTC settings but the split is triggered the same way, very conventionnal for a Plus++
did you try my ACID test split cartridge in the ACID topic ?Your statement about the "immediate effect" is leading me somewhere:
all CRTC3 is doing the same split technic, very + compliant (i'm not mixing CRTC split + SSR register)
so the basics are:
set SPLIT LINE + SPLITADR before the end of the displayed line THEN... ...out of the visible screen, modifying the SSR (or SSCR) because it has immediate effect
the SSR allow to "choose the block" then you have to substract the block value from the current block value to get the block you want because the BLOCK value is in fact a block shifting :)
Cool how quick this one does evolve! :) :) :)
Are you going to support more hardware expansions? Well, I mean the easy stuff. :)
I'm afraid I already struggle too much with the base hardware; expansions will have to wait until CPCEC is more solid. That being said, it already emulates up to 576k RAM (X-MEM, demo "Postscriptum") and 512k ROM (PLUS cartridges, either real or custom-made by gluing multiple 16k ROM files together)As the CPC can manage 256 Roms, please allow a super extension with 256 ROM and not a tiny amount of 16 or 32 like most of emulators ;)
As the CPC can manage 256 Roms, please allow a super extension with 256 ROM and not a tiny amount of 16 or 32 like most of emulators ;)Actually 64 would be enough (IMHO), that's a X-MEM + Y-MEM. Only one of my CPCs has an (internal) 2,5 MB of ROM - which I still not use completely. :)
Super minor update restoring the missing top left sprites of "Synergy 4" after I realised that a temporary buffer (in this case the sprite coordinates) enables monitoring softwares racing the beam to achieve this kind of visual effect.

It will be easier to use it from a couch without using the keyboard.
Here are some tests you can do to see if the emulation is accurate:FutureOS succeeded at making a copy of the ZEXALL disc from drive A: to drive B: as seen in the screenshots:
- Install XDDOS 2.10 ROM and see if the system starts u
- Install FutureOS and copy from disc to disc (disc or file, check both)
- "" Use OS-Infos Tool to see if the expansion RAM can be detected

#define AUDIO_CHANNELS 2
20200603 -- seventeenth public release. Added stereo sound. Fixed a bug in the CPC PIO (the read-only mode of port A allowed writing), another bug in the tape analysis (CPCEC: the algorithm for TITUS caused trouble in "The Blues Brothers"; ZXSEC: Speedlock5 didn't recognize the heading noise; both systems add patches to shorten the initial delays), another one in the loading of CPC snapshots (a snapshot saved on PLUS hardware without the "CPC+" block showed a completely black palette), another one in the Z80 debugger (the command 'P0 could generate an infinite disassembly), another one on tape handling (reading a WAV file must use >128 as reference instead of >=128) and some problems in Win32 (the screen stopped updating after pausing, switching windows in and out) and SDL2 (boot message errors weren't shown; the filename sorting algorithm was slow).
