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, JavaCPC, CPCE and the internal emulators (Caprice32 v4 and Arnold 2002) support the autotype feature: if you want to play a game just select and enter it in the Explore window and it will run automatically. This removes the need to type run"gamename.bas" etc.
CPC Loader is developed by Troels K and CPCGamesCD and its screenshots are compiled by MiguelSky.
