Revision as of 23:06, 17 December 2018 by ObiKKa (talk | contribs) (Emulators: Added CPCE (v1.94) - good emulator on DOS, Win32, no CPC+ support - OK now. WinAPE is feature-heavy & good (Latest version in 2016), some users like it, why's it not recommended? Upgraded it to OK. Added WinCPC - good but incomplete.)

  • See the CPCWiki Encyclopedia page for a mega-large list of all known Amstrad CPC emulators for a wide variety of platforms, consoles, other devices and FPGA hardware!
  • Old website for CPCE emulator (Page shows a small list of old CPC emulators and other lists for many resources. It shows that there was an old multi-system emulator called 'Multi-Machine' by Paul A. Hodgson, abandoned in 1998, that is not found on CPCWiki's page. See old interview in French.)
