Amstrad CPC 464 - Loading games from smartphone

Convert game cassette to audio file

[stephenr]

So many memories come suddenly to my mind... Such a different and vague period of my life. That loading sound, those graphics, it was all that mattered to me back then hahaha

[tholin]

That's the sound of my childhood alright. I lost my CPC 464 in a house fire when I was 16, but I got a used but still working one on eBay a few years ago. I guess I got hit real hard by nostalgia, there's no other explanation for buying it.

That takes me back, I can almost feel how I used to feel waiting for games to load. Thank you for posting!

[RoadRunnerMeep]

Impressive, hearing those tones reminds me of my childhood

[Dtwizzyworld]

If only I had my old amstrad I need to buy just for them nostalgic games. Good upload dude.

This really made me happy. This was my first computer so long ago .. made quite the impression 😁

"Hey ! Wanna play lego while it's loading ?" "Yeah"

[davidmckirdy]

I remember the games sometimes took 20 minutes to load and by that time you couldn't be bothered with it once it finished loading.

Although it is charming with the loading sound and stripes, I would say get a ULIFAC. It turns a 464 into a 6128 with 512kB or RAM or 256kB RAM and 8 ROMS, you get USB drive disk emulation, so you can read any game you like in a few seconds, and it ads serial communication and Bluetooth or WIFI.

That was my first computer - a green screen CPC 464 - my friend had a colour screen CPC 464 - Spent many an hour playing games on these

i juste remember the read error error B!!!
You wait 1h to play the game and 2mn before the end of the tape, one beautiful read error A!!! :D

[tuxevil]

So cool man, do you know where I can get the programs
I'm planning to turn on my old cpc464 and I wish to try things I never had

[Lurieh]

Digital to analog to digital to analog to digital.
If we count the Amstrad to monitor to youtube then add "to analog to digital" once more.

[jojojo]

Ah ah great times :) I had the colour model. If Im not wrong there was a shortcut for the run" command, maybe shift+ right arrow or control right arrow.. Damn its not that far, only 35 years ago ;)

[rrafal]

If you place the tape as this you can have a tiny problem getting it back. I recommend to use trap door and just close it with wire

You said:"Amstrad CPC 464 - Loading games from smartphone", but that was a tablet, not a smartphone...

[run]

It was literarilly like feeling your body being flooded and shaked with game bits

[leebfc]

Hey, great video. This is awesome to be able to use your phone.

I have got a dead CPC 464 (No power). What should I be checking please? fuses, obviously already checked etc.

Thank you.

[SPLATTERTOONS]

hey, where do you find the files of the cpc games? what format is it? is there a app for that in the smartphone store?

[ertuncdelikaya]

I wonder why you didn't buy a color monitor instead.
