@RockRiver , thanks for this article!
A question: Would this be a PCW Plus or a PCWng ? (like the CPCng - next generation)
I am thinking about making a similiar proposal for a modern CPCng. All the stuff people were dreaming about 20-25 years ago are now more or less reality.
Hummmm the base of PCWplus is the classic computer + two add-on: AY board & video board.
And the software is totally interchangeable PCWplus(color) / PCWclassic(monochrome) .
So yes!! PCWplus is NOT really the mythical ANT. Sorry!!
Only brings color to our PCW (that is a lot for me)
Maybe that CPCng could be near Amstrad ANT or Sinclair Loki projects
[ The video chip designs for the Megadrive and PCengine/TurboGrafx were very good. What would be our limit? ]
But apart from CPC/CPC+ backward compatibility ... is necesary to think what that new machine/system will add beyond ZX Next , Atari ST , Amiga? , Mega65 , SAM Coupe , MSXturboR, MSXVR , RaspberryPi ... bring to us
Yep ! It is not easy .
I like too much for example what in graphics Spec256 (or ulaX in less step) do with speccy games
Yeahhh necessary to take the CPC/CPC+ software code and use better video resolution and better sound ::)
And indeed that superSystem needs to run enhanced SymbOS
Sometimes beating the top Arcade (2D not 3D please ha ha) , Atari ST, or Amiga versions just won't make sense. Not easy to find the right path.
@Prodatron , two topics about CPCng definition
