Bryce,
here is what it does to me now. At each start, to know that it works after 15 starts.

NC100, NC200, PCW, PDA600 - the rest of the Family! / Re: NC200 floppy in 2022?

You could always try some 1.44MB disks but use a bit of tape to cover the hole.
Then you can format it as a 720KB disk.
This is what I use for my 464 but I don't know anything about the NC200 so can't comment on what may or may not work.

General Discussion - Introductions / Hi all from Spain!

Last post by bene78 - Yesterday at 15:13

Hello everyone!

Greetings from Spain.
Although I registered a long time ago, I had not seen the presentation forum, so here is mine. I hope I can help and contribute in any way I can.

I am an Amstrad enthusiast. They are the machines that I had in my childhood and with which I learned to program and mess around, and over time I have been able to recover them.
Many memories and hours as a child messing with them.

I have a CPC 6128 (with external gotek), a PCW 8256 (with internal gotek) and a PPC512 (this last one tuned with an internal gotek and a cga color screen).

Greetings to all!

Hi folks. I'm back to CPC after a few years (previously with Schneider CPC6128 and JustCPC from Zaxon) this time with Amstrad CPC6128+. Now it's time for me to enjoy few areas of "plus" series with demoscene

Love Ultimate/Rare ; Love U , mates

Recoloring Gunfright & Nightshade to CPC+ palette and with more colours (not only 4) will be great.
As at Spec256 or MSX2 isometric Ultimate's&Ritman/Drummond remake versions.

@Ayor61: Cyril, which util can we use to make that??? Or all in Z80 assembler?

[ If you like isometrics: you must try Abadia (cpr) , now in english too: Abbey of Crime (cpc-power) ]
[guide pdf here: https://twitter.com/EnriqueBCN/status/1550762568150618113?s=20&t=AEl2-mpAHEWdjeVzZFCI9w    ] sorry in spanish. Maybe g translator...

Another last isometric  jewel : Monster Max (GB)(monochrome only) by Ritman/Drummond (published by Titus/Rare)
Yezz NGB is another Z80 cousin 8bit system

Last post by CrookieMonster - Yesterday at 13:51

As luck would have it, my wife found an old external USB 3.5-inch drive during a clear out of the garage. And then, as suspected, I plugged it into the Mac and it won't read the CPC-formatted disks. Hopefully _sid's solution will work.

I can see one disk has Crystal X games written on the label. I can see a couple of games by this company are available for download online (https://cpcrulez.fr/info-crystal_x.htm) but I think I have the whole catalogue of titles.

MicroDesign 2 CPC (Beta)

This is a Beta test version of the program that was never completed.

Not emulated - original hardware and software.
Please note that  the aspect ratio for this YouTube video is 16:9 but the CPC monitor
has an aspect ratio of 4:3 so you may wish to adjust your viewing device accordingly.
