CPC Loader is not an emulator exactly. CPCGamesCD is the main objective of CPC Loader: a CDRom containing a navigable database with all the games of the Amstrad/Schneider CPC, similar to MameUI, including screenshots of the games and information about publisher, year and type of game (sports, action).
But CPC Loader is not only a frontend. It includes tools for extracting and creating dsk images and creating new games collections. WinApe and the internal emulators (Caprice32 and Arnold) support the autotype feature: if you want to play a game just select it in the Explore window and it will run automatically. This removes the need to type Run "gamename.dsk etc.
CPC Loader is developed by TroelsK and CPCGamesCD and its screenshots are compiled by MiguelSky.
