Could be considered as PCWclassic+sound add-on AY chip board+color video expansion one.
Based on certain features that the '''[[ANT]]''' project, (Arnold Number Two) from the Amstrad/Locomotive development team led by Ronald Perry, would also possess.
Nowadays emulated and FPGA-ed too.
John Elliot's PCW '''Joyce''' emulator supports colour with JOYCE 800x600 driver.

In the evolution of '''Habisoft's CP/M Box''' emulator and its research into the PCW system arose the idea to clone the '''dk'Sound''' board (existed at that 80´s time as add-on). This had the AY sound chip. And later, thanks to FPGA technology, the PCW was equipped with an accessory that would enable colour video: '''ColorIN Board'''.
Historically, only one commercial program, published by Ocean, ''"HeadOverHeels"'' by Ritman and Drummond, supported the AY chip on the PCW.
Habisoft published a series of ports from CPC that expanded the PCW library with more dk'sound: ''Abbey of Crime''; ''Hero Quest''; ''Knight Lore''; ''Pac Mania''; ''Spirits''.

The conversion trail was followed by Kachorro in its Spectrum ports of ''Barbarian'', ''Coliseum'', and ''Xecutor''.

Port $80 is used to send a value to select a register. Port $81 is for associated data; both support reading and writing. Similar to the operation of integrated circuits such as the PSG or a VDP, it allows sending many values with a minimal interface.

This is how '''KachorroSoft''' created the incredible colour ports of '''AMC''' and '''MadMixGame''' with graphics from the CPC; '''Phantis''' from MS-DOS CGA and CPC; and '''Hundra''' from the ZX Spectrum. But with new colour palettes.
* PCW Plus enables fantastic '''loading screens''' never seen before on 8-bit systems.
Color and sound enhanced versions of '''Batman''' and '''Head Over Heels''' will follow later. Showcasing the capabilities of the PCW Plus system
* PCWplus technical specifications add too: joystick dk'Tronics and '''DAC sampler sound'''.
* '''Backward compatibility''' with the classic PCW is maintained in the software.

* In parallel, the '''[https://www.habisoft.com/pcwwiki/doku.php?id=es:start PCW Wiki]''' project continues its arduous work of '''preserving''' and conserving PCW software, graphical and bibliographic material.
