The version 3.0.2 of CPCEMU for iOS and iPadOS is available, an emulator also available for Windows, Android and MacOS (a bit later for Linux.

This new version can be downloaded on the author's web site.

You have 48 hours left to get your copy of the Recalbox RGB DUAL 2 which is a Raspberry PI hat for using a CRT monitor with Recalbox's lots of emulators.

After CPCBasic unchained and CPCBasicTS unchained, Marco Vieth (author of the first Amstrad CPC emulator CPCEmu) has released LocoBasic five months ago.

LocoBasic is a streamlined adaptation of Locomotive BASIC, designed primarily for calculations. It is lightweight and can run either in a browser or on the command line using Node.js. It has NO GOTO but supports a subroutine style with GOSUB. Line numbers are optional and only needed to start a subroutine or a DATA line for RESTORE.

You can try LocoBasic here.

This new version brings the following features :

• SVG Output
• Examples to check out: Sierpiński triangle, Mandelbrot set, "Little Architect" demo
• Real-Time Clock RSX commandsexample=drawclk
• Also included : syntax highlighting editor for BASIC

Rainer has released CPCemu v3.0.2 (24th April 2025). It's available for Windows, Android and MacOS (a bit later for iOS and Linux).

This new version is available on CPCEMU's web site.

This version corrects the following bugs :

• Android: Lagging hardware keyboard input
• Missing or wrong mapping of some hardware-keyboard keys
• Selection of keyboard layout during setup sets hardware keyboard layout now, too, and configures national ROMs where appropriate
• SymbOS 4.0 boots from disks now
• Fixed bank-switching bug: SymbOS boots with RAM sizes between 128k and 576k now
• M4 board (Windows version): Folders can now be deleted, |CD,".." works now
• M4 board/SymbOS: SD card live mode significantly improved, but still not reliable enough for production use. Caveat emptor! If you have used live mode before please make sure to restore all SymbOS files, they might have become damaged
• Portable version (Windows): ROM paths are relative now

The last version of the Amstrad CPC emulator CPCEC by César Nicolas Gonzalez, was released yesterday on the 20th April 2025.

Rainer has released CPCemu v3.0.1 (19th April 2025). It's available for Windows and MacOS (a bit later for Android, iOS and Linux).

This new version is available on CPCEMU's web site.

This version corrects the emulator not starting on most Windows 11 machines. Besides, the setup of the Dobbertin HD20 was flawed. The file for the virtual harddisk was created in the executable directory (which, depending on its location, failed due to lack of write permissions). The new version uses (as originally intended) the folder where cpcemu.cfg is located ("%APPDATA%\CPCemu" in Windows and "Library/Application Support/CPCemu" in MacOS). The virtual HD20 file will be automatically created the first time the HD20 is used (for which the X-DDOS ROM needs to be loaded, e. g. as ROM 5).

Rainer has released CPCemu v3.0 (April 2025). It's available for MacOS, Android, iOS, Linux (x86_64 and ARM, included Raspberry Pi) and Windows.

This version provides these new features :

• New GUI
• New debugger/monitor including (re)assembler
• ROM configuration by GUI
• Basic V9990 graphics card emulation (primarily for SymbOS)
• Emulation of Dobbertin HD20 harddisk drive
• Emulation of keyboard clash
• Virtual joystick/mouse left/right handles can be swapped
• New video mode "simple" (should be faster, but that still needs to be proved)
• IPv6 compatibility (only for the web server, not inside CPC via M4)
• Usability of joysticks/game controllers improved
• Mouse emulation (conversion of host mouse) improved, in particular the Symbiface mouse for SymbOS
• Many bugs fixed (in particular compatibility with Windows 11)
• Adjusted to SDL version 2.32.4 (which probably needs to be installed manually on Linux)

A new version of the Caprice32 emulator maintained by Colin Pitrat is available for windows and MacOS.

This new version was released the 15th February 2025.
