==Amsteam==
Amsteam is an online service for Amstrad CPC and Plus users. Currently it hosts a collection of games that can be downloaded and executed directly in the Amstrad.

* SPI interface, with WiFi or Ethernet module. Needed to connect to Internet. M4 or others may be compatible in the future if I (Abalore) manage to put my hands on any of them.
* ROM Box[[Amsteam ROMBox]], in 8 or 32 slot versions. Needed to store the AMSTEAM ROM (optionally custom boot and/or other ROMs). This is not required if you already have a M4, a X-MEM or whatever other card capable of storing a ROM.
* [[Cartridge emulatorEmulator]], 512K volatile storage based on RAM. Needed to download and play large games like cartridges or DSK images. This is not required if you already have a Play2CPC, but it will probably require a firmware update. The Play2CPC firmware update is done with a cheap JTAG cable. If the board programming is out of your reach, you can always send the board to me (Abalore) or someone near your __cpLocationlocation.
== Roadmap ==
The final goal is to put these small four boards together into a MX4 mother board and put an enclosure around to make an "Amsteam Box", with all the required stuff to instantly play all the available Amstrad software from a server.
