Arnold (Emulator)

200.238.102.162:

Arnold is a CPC emulator originally written and maintained by [[Kevin Thacker]].

Conversions for Apple Macintosh and Linux were made by [[Richard Bannister]] and [[Nurgle|Andreas Micklei]], respectively.

Arnold aims for maximum emulation accuracy across the whole CPC and CPC range, as well as the [[KC Compact]]. Different [[CRTC]] types can be selected as well as various other aspects of the emulated machine.

While early versions of Arnold were written using x86 assembly, more recent versions are written in portable C. This resulted in ports for MacOS, MacOS X, Linux, Unix and other platforms. While every port of Arnold has its own native user interface, the emulation core remains the same across the different versions.

System Disk

The Amstrad CPC computers mostly came with system disk(s) included.

The system disks varied in look and content, depending on the CPC-model they came with.

== Contents of the various system disks ==

As the 3" disks in the CPC need to be flipped over in order to access the second side of it, the term "disk" refers to one side of such a physical 3" disk. "Disk 4" is therefore Side B of the 2nd system disk.
