Patrice Brochard is working on a labyrinth game in basic for Amstrad CPC, and presents his work in several videos, 6 at the moment (french).

Several MS-DOS Infogrames and Ere Informatique games are available on steam, including Bubble Ghost.

The fith video by Keith56, author of Chibi Akumas (episode 1 et 2) which is about Z80 programmation on Amstrad CPC, Spectrum and MSX is this time the third part about Z80 assembler (case statement).

Stephane Buisard has a nice desktop, I let you discover why.

The last version of RASM is v0.68 (7th February 2018) :

- Morphos compatibility code
- some error messages modified
- breakpoint in snapshot with BRKC chunk for ACE emulator
- shorter splash text
- unused var cleanup
- includes or incbin in a disabled section won't warn anymore if file does not exists

A new version of FutureOS, an operating system for Amstrad CPC is available on the web site, programmed this time not by TFM but by Gunhed.

• Plus Version: Debugged and Interface enhanced. ROM C compressed
• Interrupt Mode 2 Management enhanced. Code compressed in ROM D
• Support for MultiPlay enhanced. Sign on messages adapted. Now only ROM A is active, ROMs B-D are set inactive
• Interrupt Mode 2 Entry put at address &FCFC in ROM's A, B and C (D needs to be compressed first)
• Support for Speech Synthesisers added (LambdaSpeak, SSA-1 and dk'tronics)
• Enhanced System Stability: A click on the RUN Icon (or hotkey e<X>ecute) will deactivate the <I> Icon. Few bytes saved
• New feature: Auto-DIR added, every click at device icon reads DIRs. Initialization string moved to fixed address
• OS function EXCP improved. Later this year ... ;-) ... ConfigOS / KonfigOS updated
• Added OS function R_PS2 to read SF2 PS2 mouse X, Y, five buttons and scroll wheel. Data in YL, YH, D and E
• FutureOS XROMs "TOOL-DEU.ROM" and "TOOL-ENG.ROM" updated (new versions of KonfigOS/ConfigOS and OS-Infos)
• Bug in OS function EGEN_HD corrected, which was introduced after OS system 0.5 - relevant only for Dobbertin HD20
• KonfigOS / ConfigOS utilities debugged. Now they work with everything :-)
• Function added for adaption of hard coded ROM number in ROM files on disc. With checksum update. Needed for EPROMs

Turk182 just bought an interesting cable : Adaptador SCART RGB a monitor Amstrad CTM 644. With it you can connect any 8bit computer using a SCART connector to a good old Amstrad CPC CTM 644 monitor.

The fith video by Keith56, author of Chibi Akumas (episode 1 et 2) which is about Z80 programmation on Amstrad CPC, Spectrum and MSX is this time the second part about Z80 assembler (LDIR, Labels, Definitions, Conditions,Loops).

The Amstrad CPC meeting ReSeT #30 will take place at Coutances from friday 29th June (12am) to sunday 1st July (6pm) 2018 in Normandy (Foyer des Jeunes Travailleurs, 162 rue Régis Messac, Coutances).

This meeting is organized by Eliot (Benediction). It's a success each year since 2000.

Whatever your interest in Amstrad CPC, you will be welcome. It will be the occasion to see previews of incoming programs and to meet other CPCists.

As usual there will be a contest.
