Rainer has released CPCemu v3.0.2 (24th April 2025). It's available for Windows, Android and MacOS (a bit later for iOS and Linux).

This new version is available on CPCEMU's web site.

This version corrects the following bugs :

• Android: Lagging hardware keyboard input
• Missing or wrong mapping of some hardware-keyboard keys
• Selection of keyboard layout during setup sets hardware keyboard layout now, too, and configures national ROMs where appropriate
• SymbOS 4.0 boots from disks now
• Fixed bank-switching bug: SymbOS boots with RAM sizes between 128k and 576k now
• M4 board (Windows version): Folders can now be deleted, |CD,".." works now
• M4 board/SymbOS: SD card live mode significantly improved, but still not reliable enough for production use. Caveat emptor! If you have used live mode before please make sure to restore all SymbOS files, they might have become damaged
• Portable version (Windows): ROM paths are relative now

Rainer has released CPCemu v3.0.1 (19th April 2025). It's available for Windows and MacOS (a bit later for Android, iOS and Linux).

This new version is available on CPCEMU's web site.

This version corrects the emulator not starting on most Windows 11 machines. Besides, the setup of the Dobbertin HD20 was flawed. The file for the virtual harddisk was created in the executable directory (which, depending on its location, failed due to lack of write permissions). The new version uses (as originally intended) the folder where cpcemu.cfg is located ("%APPDATA%\CPCemu" in Windows and "Library/Application Support/CPCemu" in MacOS). The virtual HD20 file will be automatically created the first time the HD20 is used (for which the X-DDOS ROM needs to be loaded, e. g. as ROM 5).
