CAPRICE32 4.5+ LIBRETRO - changelog

All the credit of the caprice32 Emulator to Ulrich Doewich

You can download the caprice32 original source code here

And of course for the RetroArch/Libretro team : "http://www.libretro.com"

The core works pretty well and give the fantastic ability to use the RetroArch Shaders.

Try some CRT shaders and welcome back to the 80s on your good old CPC.

Usage

Launch a TAPE (cdt), DSK or M3U, and game should autostart.

Game Database

imagen

Our game database is based on clean-cpc-db. A database that has checked every game so that you don't have to spend whole day of finding the correct and functional version of your favorite game. In clean-cpc-db you'll find only clean versions with no weird intros or menus, just working games!

Due to the creation of this database, we have started a small game mapping project, to bring an easyest CPC plug and play experiencie! You can help us...

When a game is detected as a clean version, a green disc icon appears at the bottom. imagen
