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).

It is the end of October (Halloween can be ok). Pedro must reach his Family's tomb by the day of the death (2 of November). Time is short, he must cross the desert, the cursed castle and finally reach the Santa Fe cementery.

Collect as many candles as possible, along the way, will help him gain time to reach the party (Dia the Los Muertos) on time. Then RUN,RUN and RUN !

Tronic, Siko and Longshot are presenting today a new audio file format called AYT (AY Turbo).

It is a compact and simple format usable by any program requiring high CPU performance and cycle-accurate constant-time operation, it is available on Pouet.

This format is intended for all platforms using an AY-3-8910/AY-3-8912 (General Instrument) sound processor or a compatible chip (YM-2149 from Yamaha). Several authoring tools and players have been developed and tested for the following platforms: Amstrad CPC and CPC+, MSX, ZX Spectrum 128, VG5000 (with VG5210 soundcard). AYT files are produced from YM files.

Many tools have been created around this format (windows, linux), some of which can be used directly online (e.g., YM->AYT converter, YM/AYT player, YM sequencer, AYT Jukebox).

Z80A players have been created on several old-school platforms, such as the Amstrad CPC and Plus, MSX, ZX Spectrum 128 and VG 5000 (with the VG 5210 sound card). These players have the particularity of occupying little memory space, being very (very) fast, and operating in constant cycles. More information is available (guides, sources, executable, benchmarks, ...) on Github, on AYT Web Tools and on AYT Player – AY/YM Emulator (WIP).
