Changes
== The present and future ==
It is nowadays a common feature easy to modify existing CPC games into make a "Almost Direct Disk to Cartridge Port", just by modifying the colours in game to use a better choice of colours from using the [[PlusNo$cart]] utility by [[Nocash]]s bigger palette.
It is nowadays a common feature to modify existing CPC games to take advantage of some plus features, mostly the [[Plus]]'s bigger palette, but often these remain on disk.
With [[No$cart]] these could be converted to cartridge and made into "Almost Direct Disk to Cartridge Port".
Most cartridges were the original games released from the GX4000 era so these ideas were mostly applied to games. To apply this to utilities you would need to have drivers to access disc/tape for storage, or include the OS/firmware in your cartridge.
Now that the operation of the ACID protection chip is known, and the development of various home brew cartridge hardware solutions may lead to Direct Disk to Cartridge Port applied to any kind of software or new cartridge games that make fuller use of Plus features.
