SugarDS v1.5 is released. SugarDS is an Amstrad CPC 646 and 6128 Emulator for the DS/DSi. The Amstrad CPC was released in 1984 and competed with the ZX Spectrum and C64 in the UK and Eastern EU. Although a latecomer to the market, the solid engineering "all-in-one" design gathered support. There are still many fans of the system today and plenty of great homebrew games that fully take advantage of the system strengths. This emulator is not perfect - but it should be capable enough to render most games playable on the tiny handheld so you can get your Amstrad gaming on-the-go!SugarDS Features:
Emulates CPC 464 (64K) and CPC 6128 (128K) with 512K of extended RAM available (1024K extended RAM for DSi).
Loads .SNA and .DSK files up to 800K total length (single and double sided).
Plus2CPC Cartridge Support to load .CPR files up to 512K (note, this is not a plus/GX4000 emulator but will handle cart files provided they don't require plus-features).
Dandanator Cartridge Support - Enough for Sword of Ianna and Los Amores de Brunilda and most compilation packs. Rename files to .dan to load into the emulator properly.
Emulates CRTC Type 3 roughly - with provisions to handle split screen, rupture, smooth vertical scroll and a reasonable facsimile of smooth horizontal scroll.
Full button mapping - supporting all 3 possible joystick buttons of the Amstrad as well as mapping buttons to keyboard keys.
Full touch-screen Amstrad keyboard styled after the colorful CPC 464.
Save / Load state so you can pick up where you left off.
Full support for the Spanish CPC 472 machine with the extra 8K of memory! :)
SugarDS changelog:
DSi now has a full 1024K of extra CPC emulated RAM that does not interfere with the Disk/ROM memory area. DS-Lite still only has 512K of expanded CPC RAM.
Improved Z80 CPU timing - good enough now that I no longer need the old 'CPU Adjust' configuration option which has been removed.
Improved Dandanator support for poor-man 'ROMBOX' functionality. Most game compilation packs now work.
Improved disk swap so the 'ready' signal is delayed a bit which seems to improve Infocom games when swapping in/out the save disk.
Support for a single 16K Extended Upper ROM - name as Sugar06.ROM and place in /roms/bios or in the same directory as the emulator.
Added DIAGONALS as a d-pad option in configuration. General configuration cleanup.
Switched to ParaDOS 1.2 (was using v1.1)
