Sugarbox

A new version of Sugarbox, a new Amstrad CPC emulator for Windows, was released. The main feature of the new version is the support of online libraries like CPC-Power and Amstrad.eu. Another interesting feature is the support for black frame insertion, which will provide a smooth scrolling on 100hz capable displays.
Be sure to test the new version of the emulator and download the latest version from http://sugarbox.free.fr.

The third issue of the spanish fanzine “Revista de Usuarios Amstrad” has been released. It mainly features the 25th anniversary of the Amstrad CPC, but also contains interesting articles like programming sprites with the Z88dk C compiler. If you are able to understand spanish (I unfortunatly don’t) you can get the newest issue on the Amstrad.es homepage.
