CPCE
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 1.70 and was released in December 20th 2006, and its major new features are the support of up to 576K RAM and 272K ROM, that allow it to run Prodatron's SymbOS GUI at full performance; CPCE for DPMI now includes an internal DPMI extender (PMODE 3.07) and several bugs (such as corrupted graphics in CPCE for DOS during RAM banking or rare structure corruption after a FDC format) have been fixed.
