ACID inside

Bryce, well known for his great hardware projects (MegaFlash ROM box, RGB to SVideo converter, MegaROM board, etc…), released a description on how to move the ACID protection chip into the CPC Plus. If you do this modification, you won’t need the ACID protection chip in the cartridge anymore and you can just connect cartridges without an ACID protection chip to the CPC Plus.
You can find the howto in the CPC Wiki.

A replacement possibility for the ACID protection chip was also released last year, too.

CNGSoft released his long awaited remake of the game Bubble Bobble. Finally, the CPC gets a version of this great, which it deserves. Compared to the original CPC port of Bubble Bobble, it features very colourful graphics, the intro sequence and bigger sprites. To sum it up: it is much closer to the original arcade version. Be sure to download and test it. You can get the game from CNGSofts homepage (click on the image).

Did you ever think about having a Bluetooth connection to your CPC, e.g. to transfer your data or DSK images directly from or to it? Of course it is possible and it is very simple to realise that, plus: you can use all the tools, which already work with the CPC Booster+. I already use this setup for nearly a year and found the time time to document it. You can find the documentation in the articles section of this page.
