This libretro core brings the classic Amstrad CPC experience back to life. Combine it with CRT shaders and welcome back to the 80s on your good old CPC.
|

* This core also use some code from [wiituka/pituka](http://code.google.com/p/wiituka/) (c) 2004-2016 David Colmenero
|
||||
* CPC464+/CPC6128+/GX4000 (c) 2016-2019 Colin Pitrat : https://github.com/ColinPitrat/caprice32
|
||||
* Part of the autorun fixes (see catalog/amsdos_catalog and format.c) are inspired on the great work of Frédéric Coste (Fredouille) on [caprice-forever](https://www.cpc-power.com/cpcarchives/index.php?page=articles&num=445).

## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Launch a TAPE (cdt), DSK or M3U, and game should autostart.
|
||||
The core supports automatic loading and execution (autorun) for most standard formats. Just load your content and the game should autostart.
|
||||
|
||||
### 📼 Tape Games (.cdt, .voc, .wav)
|
||||
Load a tape file and Caprice32 will automatically type the `RUN"` command and press enter. You can use the "Tape Loading Speed" core option to fast-forward the loading process.
|
||||
|
||||
 
|
||||
|
||||
### 💾 Disk Games (.dsk, .m3u)
|
||||
Load a disk image or an M3U playlist for multi-disk games. The core will read the catalog and automatically launch the executable binary.
|
||||
|
||||
 
|
||||
|
||||
### 🕹️ CPC+ & GX4000 Cartridges (.cpr)
|
||||
To play cartridge games or use Plus features, ensure the **Model** core option is set to **6128+**.
|
||||
|
||||
 
|
||||
|
||||
*After latest accurate ASIC emulation rewrites, highly demanding titles requiring pixel-perfect raster timings, DMA instructions, and hardware sprite multiplexing—like the *Sonic GX* port and the *Shadow of the Beast* demo—now render flawlessly for the first time in Caprice32!*
