For those who loved Amstrad's CPC home computer when it was first released in 1984, here's your chance to relive the good old days with your PlayStation Portable. Homebrew developer Zx-81 has released another build for his Amstrad CPC Emulator, PSPCAP32 and it's now on version 1.3.3.

In case you're new to the scene or missed the earlier releases, PSPCAP32 is the PSP port of Caprice32, an emulator that supports the CPC464, CPC664, and CPC6128 models for Windows and Unix. Anyway, zx-81 had lots of changes made in this new version, including speed improvements. Here's the changelog for version 1.3.2 and 1.3.3:

1.3.3

- bug fix in green/monochrome default settings
- improve speed (+3 fps at 222Mhz)
- add new hotkeys :
. settings such as fps, delta_y or render mode can now be directly modified inside the emulator (no need to enter in the settings menu)
. quick save / quick load current state (no need to enter in the main menu)

1.3.2

- Display in green (monochrome)
- Option to scroll up or down the screen (when the screen is not properly centered)
- Analog pad can now be used in the file requester to move faster through the disk/snapshot lists
- Check CPM disk automatically (and run |CPM instead of RUN")
- Bug fix in the disk explorer menu (when the number of files on disk was too high)
- IR keyboard works now also in the keyboard settings menu.
- Bug fix in the render function, sometimes the screen became dark (it should not happen anymore).
