/* Compatibility */
=Compatibility=
===C4CPC: Compatible===
The C4CPC can already be used on the Plus2CPC and Play2CPC cartridge adapters.
The Plus2CPC and Play2CPC allow to program a compatible blank cartridge from the CPC. No USB plug needed.
===GX4000: Compatible with cartridges but not the device===
The Play2CPC is not usable on the GX4000 because the GX4000 does not have an expansion port.
The device itself must be connected to a computer, but the cartridges you write can be later used on a GX4000.
===PlayCity: Partially compatible===
Contrarily to the [[PlayCity]], the Play2CPC is not equipped with a Z80 Counter Timer Circuit chip. The Play2CPC use the default configuration of most of the PlayCity programs, like ALCON 2020.
However, the CRTC cursor raster interruption mechanism is identical in PlayCity and Play2CPC.
===OPL3 soundchip: Not compatible===
Despite having similar names, it's important to note that the OPN3 soundchip is not compatible at all with the OPL3 soundchip (such as the one found in the [[Willy|Willy OPL3 soundcard]]).
===Dandanator: Not compatible===
It is not compatible, because the Play2CPC use Amstrad standard ROM paging and cartridge for new CPC games, while the [[Dandanator]] use Game Boy Advance cartridge with a custom ROM paging through Z80 opcodes for new Speccy ports.
