You will find an interview of NoRecess on OrdiRetro about his latest Phortem Amstrad CPC demo (french only, google translation of the interview here).

SAMdisk v3.7 by Simon Owen is out since the 24th June 2013.

The utility supports transfers between floppy disks and disk images, and is designed to work with almost any soft-sectored disk format compatible with the PC floppy controller, including some copy-protected formats.

Low-level floppy device access requires the fdrawcmd.sys driver to be installed.

Version 3.7 (2013-06-24)
------------------------
- Added support for KryoFlux and DiscFerret stream images (MFM+FM)
- Added preliminary support for D4M (FD-4000) disk images
- Added hex output with --hex or -x, with limited hex using --hex-ish
- Added --no-gap4b to ignore gap data after the final sector
- Added --abs-offsets to show absolute rather than relative sector offsets
- Fixed 'extra byte' EDSK extension being used unnecessarily on CRC errors
- Fixed crash during CPC weak sector sniffing due to no-data 4th sector
- Fixed regular image reading reporting transient disk errors
- Improved support for ED images, including 2.88M raw images
- Improved gap reading support for IPF images
- Changed raw track parsing to ignore headers with ID CRC errors
- Changed raw image writing to use only first cyl to determine format
- Relaxed D2M sniffing by removing system partition type (0xff) check
- Reduced gap sync requirement to remove more unwanted gaps

If you are interested, see the contact link above, or write to my gmail address (genesis8bit), thanks in advance.

CPC-Power is down following being hacked

Sadly, it wasnt a white hat who could have helped Kukulcan to correct the security problem.

Happily, the site will be back, just with less features. At least we will have its important content back.

GameBase CPC v27 is available since the 10th May 2013.

Only available as a full version, please download only 1 file at a time.

A nice birthday gift, a new Amstrad CPC(+) demo : Phortem by Condense (NoRecess).

You can see this demo in plain Amstrad CPC version (see below) or in CPC+ version on Youtube.

John Mechner wrote for less than 1 euro a remake of karateka for iOS and Android.

More exactly, it's a port pixel for pixel of the original game and not a remake with better graphics, same difficulty too.

Remakes come and go at Anuman Interactive (Barbarian, Nord et sud, Spy vs Spy, Fire and Forget), now it's the turn for a remake of Titan (by Titus in 1988).

This new game, a mix of reflexion and breakout, will be out on 6th June 2013 on PC, MAC, iOS and Android.
