PSPCAP32: Amstrad CPC Emulator v1.0.6 (fullscreen)

[bah]

Having a quick look on the source of the linux version of BeebBEm, it seems to be not so hard to port to PSP. But i've a question : are there many games for this computer ? I've never heard about it ...

BBC Model B was the computer the brittish gov. decided on to use in all its schools, was quite easy to program for etc, similar to a commodore 64 but only 32k ram. Made by a company called acorn, who went on to make the model B+ (more ram i think) and electron which were never as popular, then to make the Acorn Risc Machine architecture (ARM).

There were a lot of really fun games I remember from all those years back, many would have been ports/clones from arcades or other systems of the time i would guess.

Some of my favourites were labyrinth, Mr E (Mr Do arcade perfect clone), Frak, Ravenskull, Repton, Denis the dare-devil, galaforce. The 'play it again sam' collections had quite a few good games.

You can find pretty much all the games from google, removed my direct link as it prolly wasnt a good idea to post even though they have to be abandonware.
Superior Software released a lot of the good games.

EDIT: I still have access to 100s of discs for the system sitting somewhere at my fathers place, but with 2 of his 3 model Bs dead due to failed power supplys, he's rather hesitant to let me attempt to hook the thing up to a pc in order to dump all the discs myself, from howtos online it looks possible, tho not the most simple of tasks.

Cheers for your interest

I know it's off topic but i had to add my 2c to the idea of an (Acorn) BBC model B emu for psp. Nothing would put a bigger/cheezier grin on my face than that.

Though im not sure how many ppl would have even heard of them outside the UK and Australia (they somehow ended up in our schools in the mid-late 80s over here).

Thanks again for bringing all these classic games back to be played on the PSP
