• Original sounds of disk drive, cassette relay and keyboard (can be switched on and off)
• Zoom function (display without border), alternating with and without full screen; persistent (separately for portrait and landscape on Android and iOS)
• Audio emulation deeply revised; output quality significantly improved (you can select from 4 output frequencies)
• Vortex memory extension SP64-SP512
• Jarek memory extension 576-4096 Kb
• Bank-switching speed dramatically improved; correct emulation of C3 mode
• IPv6-enabled web server similar to M4 board (upload and download into/from the emulator via web interface)
• Autostart behaviour improved (automatic file selection and deactivation)
• Minimal audio latency on Android (Oboe)
• User interface improved on Android/iOS
• Setup settings are saved immediately
• First preparations for new user interface
• Adjusted to SDL version 2.0.22 (which needs to be installed manually on Linux)
• Fixed bugs: background-foreground-changing behaviour on Android, real-time speed, video output speed (in particular on Android, iOS and MacOS, I think also on the Raspberry Pi), memory leaks, M4 sockets, file access on Android and iOS

The last version of the Amstrad CPC emulator CPCEC by César Nicolas Gonzalez, was released the 15th June 2022.

I saw this new windows emulator on theSystem.CFG months ago but I forgot to write about it... Dmanu78 did document all the genesis of his emulator, a very interesting reading in french that I invite you to read.

The thread on CPCWiki is here.

A new version of the desktop JavaCPC is available. It's an Amstrad CPC(+) emulator written in Java by Markus Hohmann (DevilMarkus).

A bit old information, but RVGM is the theme for the linux emulation distribution Batocera. It has at least 600 Amstrad CPC games.

On the Darknior's github there is also an interesting Barbarian for OpenBor WIP project.

Rainer has released CPCemu v2.4. It's available for MacOS, Android, iOS, Linux (x86_64 and ARM, in particular on Raspberry Pi) and Windows.

New version features :

• Original (virtual) CPC keyboard in 4 different languages. Click/touch near the bottom border to get it
• Loading firmware ROMs (0 and 255) from the running emulator (setup menu)
• Upgrade to the latest SDL version (2.0.18). If you don't get the virtual keyboard, the on-screen joystick and the graphical main menu on Linux (Intel and ARM/Raspberry) I recommend upgrading your installed SDL version
• Correction of many errors (M4 file names, M4 sockets, sound output, restart of emulation, error tolerance, screen layout, Z80 R register)

Longshot has released a new version of Amazing Demo and the Amstrad CPC CRTC Compendium which is a documentation about the CRTC 6845 (and some others circuits). Note that the CRTC is a generic component used in several computers including the IBM PC.

He made this demo compatible with all CRTC. The choice of Amazing Demo isnt harmless. A benchmark program : SHAKER (V1.8) comes with the compendium and shows several things stated in the document. Dont hesitate if you have a idea to add something in this document. A english version is being translated at the moment.
