An Amstrad CPC emulator for Playstation 3



Caprice32 brings you the possibility of playing good old games on your modern Playstation 3.

Caprice32 4.1.0 DBG has just been released. Caprice 32 is an Amstrad CPC 8 bit emulator for Playstation 3 so now you can play some good old games on your Playstation 3. The developer of this emulator is the one behind Hatari for PS3.

Hello ,

Originally, I was thinking about to not release to all until I update to the Caprice 4.2.0 version, but since I've no time left to solve some vdu bug in 4.2.0, I decide to release the dbg version based on the 4.1 version.

(as you can play some old good games with this version, but be sure to know what exactly is an Amstrad CPC computer before lunch it on the PS3 )

So ...

What?: A quick port of caprice32-4.1.0 to ps3 using PSL1GHTV2 / SDL .
Why? : It was the first computer i own.
Who? : Rtype

This is just an old Caprice32 version (4.1.0) for ps3 with psl1ghtV2 sdk .
Have no many freetime to work on it , so don't expect to much .

You will find binary in release.zip & source code (for thoose who want to look at ) in capold-4.1.0.zip.

Be sure to read READMEPS3.TXT before install.
