AMEDS 2.0 - Amstrad Emulator for Nintendo DS

[wraggster]

Alekmaul has released a new version of his Amstrad 6128 Emulator for the DS called AmeDS, heres the translated whats new/info:

Here the adaptation of a Amstrad emulator for DS!
It is an adaptation, at the beginning, of Caprice32 of Ulrich Doewich (http://sourceforge.net/projects/caprice32/). Then, the emulator followed much modification to try to make it faster, thing to which I am not for the not arrived moment…

Presentation
Amstrad CPC 464 is a micro-computer of the range Amstrad CPC, with posting colors, comprising 64 KB of RAM, 32 KB in ROMANIAN and using the language Locomotive BASIC 1.0, considered by some impassioned the best BASIC having ever existed.

Amstrad CPC 6128 is an evolution of Amstrad CPC 464 inside the range of Amstrad CPC. It had the same Z80 processor to 4 MHz, but was equipped with 128 KB read-write memory (including 64 KB of memory paginated) instead of 64 KB, and 48 KB read-only memory instead of 32 KB. In more it laid out of a disk drive 3 inches whose capacity could go up to 178 KB per face, much faster than the cassette player, and integrated a language BASIC in read-only memory. It was delivered with diskettes comprising two versions of the utility and operating system CP/M (CP/M 2.2 and CP/M3+) many.

Derived from the CPC 464, the CPC 6128 had in practice less free read-write memory for the user than his predecessor. On the one hand the 128 KB of RAM actually consisted of 64 KB of paginated memory, on the other hand its operating system charged the pilot of the disk drive in addition to the pilot of the cassette player.

And here, I thus deliver the current version of AmeDS to you, the 2.0. It is especially faster than the preceding one but has a less powerful graphic emulation (one cannot all have….).

This a great emulator, but I have found a couple of problems.

Configuring keys never works.

For example in the game Renegade, it uses a combination of Joystick and keys, they are unrefinable in the game!

You can map the four DS buttons to the cursor keys (or any keyboard keys) but they never work. Redefining does not make any different, and occassionally the emulator crashes and simply freezes whilst trying to set a button.

I found also that saving a game file never ever works, it always comes up with a failed error, saving pictures works ok though.

Other than that, great stuff!

I use this emulator a lot, but does anyone know of a CPC emulator for the Wii? Thanks!
