Amstrad Core

Unread post by Rocky2040 »

Anyone had any lucky getting the core to work. All the boot.roms I have tried do not work :(

Thankfully, a working one is supplied at the core's github : https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Amstrad ... mstrad.rom

Just rename it to boot.rom and drop it in the CPC games folder.

Can the core run games from zip files? I didn't think any of the MiSTer cores could. Maybe I've just not read enough yet, but I'd try unzipping it & seeing if that works.

Could be a r/w protection thing. Some emulators won't write to zip files & if a program requires the disk to be write enabled it may cause problems. Same could be true of this core. I'm not sure why a demo would need to write to a disk though.

I dont have numpad (only upper numbers keys on keyboard), so i´m still frozen on main menu, where you have to choose how many players, demo...

Understood, maybe is because is asking for F1. But then it should work from OSD menu, where you can select NUMPAD as numkeys or symbols, right?
