= Emulator Detection =
To detect Amstrad CPC emulators, the simplest method is to check if the memory is initialized with zeroes. The CPC firmware doesn't initialize the memory at boot, so memory values are random on a real machine.:
You can also target *Check if the minute details of the Z80memory is initialized with zeroes, CRTC and PPI chips that are almost always wrongly implemented in emulators.as real machines have random memory values at boot
And you can target *Focus on the FDC chip that is only replicated more or less superficially minute details in emulated Z80, CRTC, and PPI chips, they are often wrong in all emulators because the internals of the chip are still unknown.
By combining multiple detection *Examine the FDC chip. It is only replicated more or less superficially in all emulators because the internals of the chip are still unknown Combining these methods, you can will definitely attain get you a 100% success rate of in detecting all emulators, even the toughest ones.
There is also this initiative for emulators who willingly want to be detected: [[Emulator_IDs|Emulator IDs]]
