Kenshiro is a demo for the Amstrad GX4000 console or the Amstrad CPC+ computer by Cyrille GOURET about the manga Ken the survivor. There is a screen by Eric Cubizolle (2019) and two unknown songs (more later maybe for their name). The Kenshiro demo is available on Youtube.

The bug was found by Velus on CPCRulez. In a basic program, type the following ligne : 10 rem |era,"toto.txt" (on a french 464 the | is replace by ù). Next RUN the program or edit the ligne (EDIT 10) and validate with return. Last look at the progam with the LIST command, the character after the | (or ù) has been removed.

A video on Amstradiens channel by Cyril to show you how to open an Amstrad CPC 6128 plus and clean its keyboard if some keys arent working correctly anymore.

Cronosoft is an editor for homebrew games for retro computers and consoles since 2002/2003, including the Amstrad CPC : the Smirking Horror (2004, initial release in 1991), Balloonacy (2007) and Stranded (2009).

Retro Video Gamer made a short interview of Cronosoft in January 2016.

A portable computer like the Amstrad PPC 640, released in 1988 has no ISA expansion ports, he has only a feeble speaker. So you may think it isnt possible to get some nice sound except of simple beeps ?

On the Amstrad CPC it was possible to have a better sound using a Digiblaster sound card connected to the parallel port. It was a simple electronic device with several resistors, not difficult to make in fact.

Well, there is the same thing on PC since ages : the Covox Speech Thing.. It is possible to buy a Covox 4 on Serdashop which is an upgraded version of the Covox Speech Thing (higher precision resistors : 0.1% and low pass filter). For more informations about the Covox, I recommand reading the related articles on Nerdly Pleasures.

I also bought the MCE2VGA on Serdashop which lets you use a VGA external screen instead of only using the internal screen which is quite lacking.

The software used here is Mod Master XT beta 18 by FreddyV which you can download on Vogons.

New videos running with the M4 player by Roland Rzasa are available :
