Post by: Gryzor on 13:54, 28 August 14
This looks really sweet, but kind of expensive...

Neat but expensive and limited to games that use only 1 or 2 buttons which is fine for a lot of games but many I play on MAME need more.

I wonder... If someone made a DYI Mini Amstrad CPC like that, would it stop the "What emulator for Android/iPhone to use?" threads?

It's a bit too small for my liking, looks like it could be quite awkward to play.

First step would be to get a emulator that supports all models and runs nicely on a pi. I said earlier that I got linux Arnold to compile and run, but only close to usable with a overclock to 1ghz.


I'd love a durect booting CPC environment on an SD card for the pi (Similar to the Pi Amiga AeROS card) then the best emulator would be a a Pi, a Fuze case and that SD card ;)
