* [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].)

The Amstrad CPC was a series of 8-bit computers released in Europe to compete with the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum. Like the Amiga, it was a big gaming platform.

Emulators[edit]

Note: To test accuracy, you could use Acid Tests for CPC by the developer of Arnold.

  • 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 'MulTiMachine' by Paul A. Hodgson, abandoned in 1998, but it is titled as 'MTMW' on CPCWiki's page. See old interview in French.)
