Caprice32 - Amstrad CPC Emulator

WHAT IS IT?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Caprice32 is a software emulator of the Amstrad CPC 8bit home computer
|
|
series. The emulator faithfully imitates the CPC464, CPC664, and CPC6128
|
|
models. By recreating the operations of all hardware components at a low
|
|
level, the emulator achieves a high degree of compatibility with original
|
|
CPC software. These programs or games can be run unmodified at real-time
|
|
or higher speeds, depending on the emulator host environment.
|
|
|

|
|
|
USAGE
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This is considered and alpha release, as the emulator in its current
|
|
state lacks a lot of user friendliness (i.e. it lacks a graphical user
|
|
interface).
|
|
|
|
Open cap32.cfg in a text editor (Notepad for example) and edit values as
|
|
necessary. Refer to the next section for an explanation of what it all
|
|
means. Make especially sure the rom path reference is correct otherwise
|
|
the emulator will fail to start!
|
|
|
|
To load a disk, snapshot or tape image simply specify the complete path
|
|
to the file on the command line. You can pass more than one type of file
|
|
at the same time - simply separate them with spaces. Paths and filenames
|
|
that contain spaces need to be enclosed by quotes.
