PSPCAP32: Amstrad CPC Emulator for PSP v1.5.1 (Irda Joy)

[zx-81]

Hi All,

Here a new version of PSPCAP32 the CPC Emulator for PSP.

For those who haven't seen previous versions, Caprice32 is one of the best emulator of the
Amstrad CPC home computer series running on Windows and Unix, written by Ulrich Doewich.
This emulator faithfully imitates the CPC464, CPC664, and CPC6128 models
(see Caprice32 | Get Caprice32 at SourceForge.net )

This version of PSPCap32 supports IRDA-Joystick box designed by my good friend Buzz
( see Buzz Computer for details).

If you have any electronic skills you may design your own for less than 20$ ! The Schematic and
the PIC source code is provided in contrib folder of PSPCap32 archive.

For those who have never heard about IRDA joystick project, the goal was to connect your old DB9 joystick
(compatible with Atari , Amiga, Amstrad etc ...) or a paddle device to your PSP FAT.
Buzz has written the driver and designed the PCB and programmed the PIC micro-controller,
while i was in charge of emulator enhancements.

What's new in version 1.5.1 :

- IRDA Joystick box support
- Add "IRDA joystick" device support for both
DB9 Joystick and Atari Paddle
- Add menu for IRDA joystick settings and keys mapping
- Add option to choose between IRDA devices
(keyboard such as Targus or joystick using Buzz device)

How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file.

Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public license,
read COPYING.txt file for more information about it.

Enjoy,

Zx.

Can you help me set up symbos on this emulator ? the os comes in many versions but neither of the dsk's have all the programs installed, Is there a way to make a virtual hdd ? so that i do not need to load more than 1 dsk at a time ?
xxx.symbos.de/shots. htm

The link above is where to get symbos, if you're not familiar with it.
(replace the xxx and delete the space after . )
Allso as a little offtopic there's a MSX version there too but your emulator needs rom's and they have a dsk. any way to solve this ?

xxx.symbos.de/shots. htm

i don't see how to do this, since it's an emulator of CPC hardware and afaik at that time hdd didn't exists. So CPC software won't be able to handle a "unknown" device such as hdd

msx emu should be able to read dsk file, not only roms. i haven't tried symbos myself on msx so i can't certify it will work but you may give it a try.
