Prodatron is working on network support for SymbOS avec with Wiznet W5100 ethernet controller (used on MSX and ZX SPectrum). There is also a W5100 project for the Amstrad CPC.

SymbOS is already able to load a web page, full TCP/IP support done. Still lacking UDP support to be able to use DNS and DHCP.

After the first Athanor, Eric Safar is working on Athanor 2 this time with bitmaps graphics. You can already see a WIP screenshot of the game on CPCRulez (see source below).

The Elan Enterprise is a new computer which can use Symbos. See the youtube video about this subject made during the Nijmegen MSX fair 2015.

After Batman Forever, Battro is a cracktro by Batman Group, with music by McKlain.

Luc and Hervé Guillaume are two brothers who programmed a lot of games for Amstrad CPC, published in french newspapers with the Black System label.

Go on Homebrew Amstrad Today which wrote about Black System.

You will be of course able to download the Black System programs.

A new version of Puzznic is available for Amstrad CPC+ thanks to Arnoldemu and BDCIron.

This version runs on GX4000. Instead of pressing R for menu, press pause. Also, an update to the "boot" process, the new overscan title screen now fades in and out, and a CPC+ palette is used.

A bit late, but happy new year 2015, may the Amstrad CPC shine on you. Good health too.
