A new version of Sugarbox, a new Amstrad CPC emulator for Windows, was released. The main feature of the new version is the support of online libraries like CPC-Power (http://www.cpc-power.com/) and Amstrad.eu (http://amstrad.eu/). Another interesting feature is the support for black frame insertion, which will provide a smooth scrolling on 100hz capable displays.

Be sure to test the new version of the emulator and download the latest version from http://sugarbox.free.fr.

Changelog:

• [General]: Optimisations (Emulation is about 15% faster)
• [General]: Generic Joystick are supported through Direct Input. 2 Joysticks can be used, in the order they appear in the os. Work with Xbox controler, as well as standard usb joystick.

• [Z80]: Fixed timing issue in interrupt following some opcodes

• [FDC]: Fixed behaviour with SK bit and deleted sectors (making Nigel Mansell works)
• [FDC]: Fixed how read track over the index hole works. The current sector is finished,then the command is ended (fix Skyx)

• [Original].dsk to crash when trying to load

• [TAPE]: FAST loading enabled : If a tape is read, refresh are cut, so speed can be 2 to 3 time faster.
• [Display]: SDL2 lib is now used. Fullscreen option is now better, as it can be fully configured. Also, black screen insertion for 100hz display can be used for buttery smooth scrollers
• [Display]: Screen size and position is now more correct
• [Display]: Screenshots are now better (and without any toolbar)
• [Printer]: A really basic printer is now plugged ! You can see print result in the PRINT directory. (no graphical printing is done, only text)

Ah, I love a good online integration. Must give this a try!

Hm, it doesn't download the game lists for me...

Same here. It worked when I checked it the first time.
