cpclib

cpclib is a library that aims at helping to develop Amstrad CPC demos. Maybe it could be usefull for other z80 platform or even games. None of the functionalities are 100% functional. I have only implemented the subset I need for my current Amstrad CPC demo project. Several tools are provided in addition to library.

There are more are less able to do:

• assemble z80 source code.
  • Mainly interesting for auto-generated code, not for handcrafted one.
  • Not all opcodes are managed.
  • Functionalities not available in other assemblers:
    • Injection of basic source code (WIP)
    • Function able to provided the opcode value of an instruction or its standard duration
• manipulate .sna files
  • Minimal support of chunks at the moment
• convert images to CPC format. Usable for standard resolutions/modes
• manipulate DSK (trying to mimick iDSK or dskmanager). Able to format and add files
• communicate with cpcwifi board
  • Replication of xfer utility.
  • Only reset and run file have been coded at the moment
  • In opposite to the original xfer tool, cpclib one is able to start snapshots V3 (there are simply converted as snapshot v2 on the fly)
• create basic tokens from basic source (WIP)
