Amstrad CPC

The Amstrad consists of a Z80A @ 3.5 MHz CPU

Setting up

  • Native-assemblers:
    • orgams - Definitvely the state-of-the-art assembler on Amstrad CPC
  • Cross-Assemblers:
    • The emulator Winape has an integrated assembler.
    • cross-platform SjASMPlus assembler supports CPC snapshot and CDT files since v1.18.4.
    • Rasm - extremely fast cross-platform Z80 assembler with many features.
    • BASM - a modern Z80 assembler with many features borrowed to mainstream spectrum assemblers, maxam and rasm.
  • Emulator(s):
    • Winape is very accurate and includes an assembler / debugger
    • Caprice gets very regular updates
    • CPCEC is very fast
    • JavaCPC offers many features
    • Retro Virtual Machine is visually very impressive
    • Ace-DL one of the most accurate emulators / UI is less ergonomic than Winape ATM, but it will improve with time
    • Amspirit another accurate emulator
