CPCE is a freeware Amstrad CPC emulator for DOS, DPMI and Win32 platforms programmed in 100% assembly language (I286 for DOS and I386 for DPMI and Win32) by CNGSoft. It's intended to be small but rich and fast but powerful, and features reasonably accurate emulation of standard CPC hardware (Z80 CPU, ROM and RAM, video and audio output, tape deck and disk drives), support of digital tape formats (WAV, VOC, CSW, TZX and CDT), rasters, many video effects, digital speech, integrated debugger, internal ZIP file handling, drag and drop, game recording and replaying, netplay, YMP (YM music player), CPC to PC (and viceversa) file transfer tools, etc.
The latest CPCE version is 1.71 and was released in December 28th 2006, and its major new features are 6 KB sector support (required by many protected disc games such as "Double Dragon (Mastertronic)" and "The Addams Family") and configurable turbo mode (up to 24 MHz, just like the CPC TREX). There are also bugfixes for overscan wrapping in DOS and hardware ports ghosting (as used in Hermol's XMAS2006 bugged intro). A hotfix was released in January 3th 2007 and it corrected a tiny bug in YMP (scroller froze after pausing, minimizing and restoring, although it resumed moving after unpausing) and another one in CPCE (debugger stepped over JMP, JR and RET the wrong way).
