A new version is available !

As a reminder, the HxC Floppy Emulator is a device allowing your software library to be stored on a USB/SD card (DSK + HFE disc image formats) for usage on a real Amstrad CPC machine.

This news is about the Manager for Amstrad CPC (the program to select disc images on the HxC Floppy Emulator's slots).

End-user can now select .DSK files (when using latest firmware for Gotek USB). Memory footprint has been improved (memory above &8800 is not used, which means users with tons of installed ROMs will not experience crashes anymore). As usual, a ROM version is also provided. Finally, the sources are now available online on GitHub.

I completed an interview for Epsilon, click here for download.

It's funny how life may bring some surprises. I interviewed Epsilon few months ago ; but doing that gave him enough motivation to create a new website dedicated to the Amstrad CPC called Amstrad Paradise. Make sure to check it out ! (french only).

Overflow/Logon System presented at Revision 2017 his demo called "Logon's run - 3D meets the aging bits". Reception has been really good and the production was ranked 2nd in the oldschool demo category. Congratulations Olivier !

As promised last December, a making-of (written by Overflow himself !) is now available on this website. It explains all the technical details that fits in 22Kb, including the introduction of a custom 3D engine + some clever use of hardware features.

Despite what I said in the previous news ...

To begin the year, here is a new interview of Christophe Kastriottis, also known as Epsilon / Power System & Arkos in the Amstrad CPC demoscene world ! He was mostly active from 1992 to 1996. He was a prolific author of demos, musics, tools and games. His work was underrepresented on the net, it was time to fix this !

Condense is working hard on its next demo. The plan is to release it at Revision 2018 (yes, 2018 !).
Expect something new and refreshing from us :)
We already spent 2 years of development on it... but only half of the demo has been completed yet.

About this site, no future interviews should be published soon. Looks like it got harder to chase good old demomakers :)
That said, a making-of of the next demo from Overflow/LogonSystem (to be presented at Revision 2017) will be published here on this site.

Finally - Greetings to everyone that continues to make the CPC alive, especially the guys behind the 30YMD - what a really a good job ! You provided a solid work, congratulations to all of you.

Happy XMAS all !
