[[Image:Implentation photo top small.jpg|thumb|300px|right|The Floppy emulator, an alternative to a floppy drive]]
The HxC floppy emulator is designed by Jeff (Jean-Francois Del Nero) as an alternative way to load programs on the CPC.
The floppy emulator is an interface card that connects a PC directly to the floppy controller of the CPC.
The PC is connected to the HxC via a standard USB cable. A program is loaded on the PC that feeds the controller with disc information. *[[HxC Floppy Emulator]]*[[HxC Standalone Floppy Emulator]]*[[HxC SDCard Internal]] *[[Guide for HxC USB Version]]*[[Guide for HxC SD Version]] <br>

== On-Screen-Display / Overlay ==
The HxC firmware for Gotek supports the On-Screen-Display / OSD video output. [https://hxc2001.com/docs/gotek-floppy-emulator-hxc-firmware/pages/addon-on-screen-display.html Source]
You can select images and see the floppy emulator status on the machine’s screen without any additional software or LCD/OLED screen !
No need to make holes in the machine case anymore ;)
