The '''[[wikipedia:Amstrad CPC|Amstrad CPC]]''' was a series of 8-bit computers released in Europe to compete with the [[Commodore 64 emulators|Commodore 64]] and [[ZX Spectrum emulators|ZX Spectrum]]. Like the [[Amiga Line|Amiga]], it was a big gaming platform.

'''Note''': To test accuracy, you could use [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/emulators/amstrad-cpc-'acid'-test/ Acid Tests for CPC] by the developer of Arnold.
* See the [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Emulators 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!
* [http://cpce.emuunlim.com/cpc_lnk.htm 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 '[https://cpcrulez.fr/emulateurs_download-WIN-MTMW.htm MulTiMachine]' by Paul A. Hodgson, abandoned in 1998, but it is titled as 'MTMW' on CPCWiki's page. See [https://cpcrulez.fr/emulateurs_interview_paul_hodgson.htm old interview in French].)
