  • Do you have an Amstrad CPC 464 or 6128? Do you want to play all your old retro games? What's the BEST way to load that old disk software in 2023?
    Here's a device that will not only let you connect up an actual floppy drive, but also comes with a built-in Gotek floppy emulator. As if that's not good enough, it also throws in a 512kb memory upgrade and two switch selectable operating systems, AMSDOS and Parados.
    Stop drooling.
    You can buy it from Zaxxon here:

    Hope you enjoy and maybe learn something useful!
    Thank you for watching

    Hi excellent video, I have a CPC464 and will definitely get the DDI 5 now.

    Interesting as always! I'm really looking forward to the upcoming livestream. The last one was a ton of fun.

      I'm glad you enjoyed the last one. I hope this one will be interesting. The C64 I've picked to work on passes dead test, but won't boot to basic or run the regular diagnostics. I've actually already got a suspicion what's wrong and if correct, it will only take a few minutes to fix, which will be a bit disappointing. I do have another board (one I bought for spares) that we could work on as well if the first one is too easy.

    SymbOS is looking great. I just wish it was open source, so other people could port it to more systems.

      I haven't had the pleasure yet. I'll have to look into it. Thanks!

    Thanks for the video. I had a green screen CPC464 as a kid, my first computer. I just picked up a colour one with a few games for a good price and it needs some tlc for sound and cassette belt but I was looking for the best way to play all the games, this DDI 5 looks very interesting. Would you say this is the best way? I've seen some devices for the GX4000 with a GUI and you can scroll through the games on screen with a controller, is anything like that possible on the 464 or is this as good as it gets?

      If I'm honest, I'm probably not the best person to answer. I've tried several "modern" loading mechanisms, external tape drive, TZXduino, loading via a Bluetooth receiver, the CPCDandanator and the DDI5. I liked the DDI5 the best, but there are probably other solutions out there like the one you mentioned that I've never used and am, therefore, unqualified to evaluate. Thanks for watching.

    hi, does it need a particular file system for the usb key ? FAT32 ?

    • @YARC-1981

      FAT32 is specified.
