Do you remember the Amstrad Action? For sure! And do you remember the Amstrad Action tribute magazine? I hope so. The Retroaction magazine published an article about the making of the tribute magazine, so be sure to read this article.
If you don’t know the Amstrad Action tribute magazine, you can download or order the printed version (very high quality – I own one :)) from lulu.com.
You might have noticed it, the CPC Scene page changed it’s name to Push’n’Pop. Along with a server change, it also brought back the great CPC Radio which features game and demo tunes from the CPC. It was a huge group collaboration which made this possible, but you can read more about it on the Push’n’Pop homepage. If you want to listen to the tunes, then you can do that here.
The [[XzentriX Meeting 2010|XzentriX 2010]] meeting, which was held in Seeshaupt / Germany, is over and now it is time to publish my meeting pictures. It was a very productive meeting for me, because Nilquader and I worked hard to get a cartridge with an [[ACID]] replacement working. You will read more about that in another news posting. You can find my pictures in the image gallery.

Today I got a mail (thanks :)!) about a new CPC emulator entirely written in JavaScript. The new emulator is called CPCBox and you can test it on http://www.cpcbox.com. Currently it is best viewed with Google Chrome, but it also worked with Firefox on my system (Opera 10.61 didn’t work). Currently the emulator only loads Snapshot and doesn’t play sound, but hey – this is the first CPC emulator written in JavaScript. The emulator was written from scratch and is mainly an experiment to push HTML5 to it’s limits, but the author wants to improve it in the future.
Devilmarkus released a standalone version of CPCPaint. With CPCPaint you can draw images and convert PNG, JPG, BMP and GIF into standard CPC screens. It allows you to create overscan (32k) and standard (16k) screens for the CPC. It also integrates an effect mixer with which you can handle the contrast, RGB values, brightness, etc.
You can download the tool from Devilmarkus’ website.
