• Disassembler
• Debugger
• Graphics viewer
• Character map viewer
• Lua Custom viewers
• Frame trace
• Memory diff
• IO analyser
• Amstrad CPC 464 and CPC 6128 support
• Lua scripting

Fast AY Player (FAP) par Vanity is a constant-excecution-time and ultra-fast (10 raster-lines at most) AY3-891x music player for the Amstrad CPC. It was written by Hicks (Vanity) and Gozeur (Contrast) for the programmation and Zik (debug and help).

A big thanks to Targhan/Arkos, Grim/Semilanceata, toms/Pulpo Corrosivo, Tom et Jerry/GPA for support & testing. A special thanks to Zik/Futurs' for additional debugging & testing !

You can download FAP on Pouet (link above) or locally on Genesis8bit.

Martine v0.41.4 is a command line interface utility written by Impact for Linux, MacOS X and windows with the following features :

• conversion d'images JPG et PNG vers Amstrad CPC(+) au format fenêtré, normal (les deux peuvent être compressés) ou overscan (sans compression possible)
• nouveau mode tile map qui permets d'analyser une image d'un niveau de jeu et de créer des fichiers .IMP et .TIL utilisable avec le nouvel utilitaire de tile d'Impact
• création d'un .DSK ou .SNA si besoin, avec ou sans en-tête AMSDOS
• direct transfer if you have a wifi M4 Card

The files generated (.win, .scr, .ink) are compatible with OCP Art Studio and Impdraw V2 i2.

FutureTex by Gunhed is a text editor running on Amstrad CPC with the FutureOS operating system by the same author. It can use mode 1 or better mode 2 for its 80 columns, for more features see CPCWiki. It is available as a floppy disk image and also as two ROMs since two days.

The last version of multi platform assembler for Amstrad CPC RASM (v2.3.6) is released today on Github.

This multi platform assembler for Amstrad CPC (for linux, windows, and also for MorphOS on Amiga) let you program for Amstrad CPC. It's recommended to use it with the new emulator also by Roudoudou : ACE-DL released today, to get symbols and breakpoints importation and much more.

Arkos Tracker v3.2.6 by Targhan is available on his web site. This is no longer a beta version, the site has many tutorials. This version is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux (Intel and ARM).

AMSTAIR or AMSTrad Antic Internal Ripper v1.1 by Raft McMillan from the TRSi group is a hardware tool made with components from the Amstrad CPC era that allows the display of Amstrad CPC signals. It allow to hack a game in real time, trace code/ports, diagnostic faulty Amstrad CPC (the gerber plan is available to make it), more precisely it allows :

• Display CPC control lines via LEDs
• Slow down your Amstrad at chosen speed
• Freeze mode with step by step functionality : Step on each Clock, DMA access, CPU instruction, port read, port write, Memory access
• Select the IO port you want to scan
• Show address lines in binary and data lines in hexadecimal
• Output the selected data to SOUND (Really?!)
• Digiblaster compatible mode
• DMA read or write in each cpu modes : fast, slow, paused
• DMA can r/w Memory and IO ports
• Selection of DMA address and data via switchs
• Selection of Port or Memory address to intercept via switchs
• Force DMA for dead z80
• CPC or external power supply
• Reset Amstrad

Freedos v1.4 is available and there is a version for 8086 with a FAT32 feature! So it should be usable on an Amstrad PC.

mTCP v2023-01-10 by Michael B. Brutman is a set of TCP/IP applications for personal computers running PC-DOS, MS-DOS, FreeDOS, and other flavors of DOS. mTCP needs a 8088 processor (or +), 96 to 256 Kb of system memory depending on the application, ms-dos v2.1 (or +) and a network card (Ethernet adapter, or a device emulating Ethernet) that has a packet driver.

The source code of NetDrive is available on mTCP's web page. It's a Ms-Dos driver to access a disk image (floppy or hard disk) which on another computer on the local network under windows (10 and 11), Linux (x86 or ARM) and MacOS.

If you go on the mTCP web page, you must know that it's a 41 years old PC Jr which is running mTCP own http server.

Micro Machines for SymbOS and V9990 graphical card by Trebmint and Prodatron is an hommage to the game made by Codemasters. The game is work in progress but it is shaping quite nicely as you will see in the video below.

A new version of ConvImgCpc by Ludovic Deplanque is out (21th February 2025).

It's a windows utility to convert PC images to Amstrad CPC.

To make so beautiful Amstrad CPC loading screens like Eric Cubizolle (Titan), it's easy, you just need to use the same painting program : Multipaint by Tero Heikkinen AKA Dr. Terrorz, and maybe a bit of talent and mostly a lot of work.

Titan is describing Multipaint as a mmix of OCP Art Studio and Deluxe Paint for windows which offers the possibility of using the resolutions and palettes of a whole bunch of old computers including the Amstrad CPC (mode 0 and 1, overscan possible in mode 0).

Arkos Tracker v3 by Targhan is available on the web site, which holds already several tutorials.

The last version available is v3.2.4 (14th February 2025). It's a beta version but totally usuable for windows, mac and linux (intel and ARM).

This new version brings many improvements and one big unique feature called Effect Context.

After three years of work, SymbOS v4 by Prodatron is available. It's a GUI OS for Amstrad CPC, PCW and Notepad 100/150/200, MSX, Elan Enterprise, ZX Spectrum Next, SymbOSVM.

The Desktop Manager has received new controls, such as one for drawing large grids and the long-missing fully functional tree view with collapsible nodes. Lists, trees and pulldown menus can now contain icons thanks to the new inline support of the Advanced Text Control.

The Sound Daemon provides platform-independent sound services for multiple programs. With Arkos Tracker-based PSG and MOD-based Wavetable support, users can enjoy high-quality sound effects and music in apps and games. GUI events can be assigned to system sound effects, improving the interactive experience.

The Printer Daemon acts as a spooler for multiple print jobs and supports unified formatting codes and network TCP/IP printing. It ensures seamless printing from different applications using a printer-specific driver.

SymbOS C Compiler (SCC) is the new ultimate developer kit for building SymbOS applications using the C programming language. Based on the Fuzix compiler, it features a proper libc port for plug-and-play compilation of existing code, extensive (Posix) wrappers and helper functions for SymbOS system calls, detailed documentation to help you get started with SymbOS programming, multithreading, graphics and sound support, and a complete sample application for reference. It can run on Windows as well as directly on SymbOS !

SymbOS 4.0 supports kernel-level data compression to save disk space. Transparent file management allows compression of existing file formats, data blocks can be decompressed up to 63 KB at a time.

Many other improvements have been added, such as the famous Alt+Tab task switcher, Usifac II/Ulifac support, Nova RTC support and countless more things.

Three new supported platforms have been added to the SymbOS family, including Amstrad NC100/150/200, ZX Spectrum Next, and SymbOSVM, which allows SymbOS to run almost natively on modern 32- and 64-bit platforms.

The last version of multi platform assembler for Amstrad CPC RASM (v2.3.3) was released five days ago on Github.

• ability to remap any UTF8 char when using inline struct and parameter overload
• Rasm MSDOS version is back ^_^

This multi platform assembler for Amstrad CPC (for linux, windows, and also for MorphOS on Amiga) let you program for Amstrad CPC. It's recommended to use it with the new emulator also by Roudoudou : ACE-DL released today, to get symbols and breakpoints importation and much more.
