= CPC cartridge slot =Emulator support for a CPC cartridge slot is as follows:*[[Dandanator]] brings a non-standard physical cartridge port and a very exotic non-standard memory mapper that spies on Z80 instructions (sacrificing compatibility without any justification). It is emulated by ACE, Retro Virtual Machine, CPCEC, ZEsarUX, DSP*[[Plus2CPC]] brings a standard physical Plus cartridge port to the CPC. It is not supported by emulators*[[Play2CPC]] is an evolution of the [[Plus2CPC]], adding RMR2 Plus mapping, R/W cartridge support, CRTC cursor raster interrupt and a 3-channel soundchip conforming to the [[PlayCity]] base spec. Play2CPC is emulated by ACE*[[M4 Board]] simulates a standard Plus cartridge port on the CPC and handles standard CPR files. M4 Board is emulated by CPCemu<br>

*[[Amdrum]] is emulated by ACE, JavaCPC, MAME, WinAPE
*[[Digiblaster]] is emulated by ACE, Caprice Forever, JavaCPC, MAME, WinAPE, CPCEC, CPCEPower, WinCPC, Virtual CPC
*[[PlayCity]] is fully emulated by ACE, MAME, Arnold, SugarBox. The audio part of [[PlayCity]] It is partially emulated by Caprice Forever, JavaCPC, CPCEC*[[Play2CPC]] implements the PlayCity base spec (aka Arcade Sound System). It has one additional soundchip instead of two and no CTC chip. It is emulated by ACE
*[[Willy|Willy OPL3]] is emulated by ACE
*[[Willy|Willy MIDI]] is emulated only by ACE for (software synth emulation on Haiku, full MIDI support on MorphOS)*[[Music Machine]], [https://github.com/lambdamikel/Speak-SID Speak&SID], [https://github.com/lambdamikel/LambdaSpeak3 LambdaSpeak], [https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/amstrad-cpc-hardware/amsdap-amstrad-msx-adapter-connecting-any-msx-io-hardware-to-the-cpc/ Amsdap (SE-One, Moonsound, etc...)] are not supported by emulators <br> = Printers =Support for CPC printers is abysmal in all emulators.The only emulators that at least do some print rendering emulation are JavaCPC and Caprice Forever. <br> = Rewind feature =ACE-DL has a rewind feature, but it is not as good as it could be: [https://youtu.be/wIKGvpnJLUo Demonstration of rewind in ACE-DL] Only the RetroArch CPC emulator has a proper rewind feature: [https://youtu.be/YwilYlSe5LQ Demonstration of rewind in RetroArch]. To reverse the game, the user press and hold the rewind button. And at any point, releasing the button makes time goes forward again. A very simple approach would be to make a SNA for each frame and limit the RAM snapshot to 128KB, which is ok for 99% of CPC software. For a 10-seconds long rewind functionality, only 64MB RAM is needed (128KB * 50 frames * 10 seconds). A more efficient approach is to store only the values that are changed in RAM between two frames, so that RAM can be restored when rewinding. This allows for long rewinds, even of a CPC equipped with a 4MB RAM expansion. Proof of it is the GBA emulator [https://youtu.be/Sfc_1NKbiKg SkyEmu demonstrating super long rewind] while needing very few RAM. For debugging, going back to the previous instruction is easily implemented. The emulator has to store the time when the previous instruction was executed so that he can go back to that instruction. In the same way, emulators can provide access to the previous HBL, IRQ, VBL, etc. <br>
