Resurrecting my CPC-Games website

[Devilmarkus]

Hello CPC-Users,

I coded a new website-cpc-emulator...

For this I'll resurrect my gaming site.

Therefore I am looking for a few people who want to help me to upload games.

This is simplier as it sounds!

All you would need is:

- A screenshot, 384x(256-272) (range in Y is a bit variable here) (PNG format)

- A txt file as emu-config (same filename than your screenshot but .txt instead .png), easy to create!

- the game (DSK, CDT, TAP) best inside a single zip file

Thats all... Each game can then be uploaded into 3 folders: screenshot folder, config folder and game folder (or sent to me by email)

The rest is done automatically by my php scripted game-gallery and php-emulator script.

Example:

http://java.cpc-live.com/game.php

Abadia Del Crimen:

Screenshot looks like this:

http://java.cpc-live.com/games/-A-/abadia64.png

My script to show it in gallery looks if the gameconfig exists.

result:

http://java.cpc-live.com/show.php?img=games/-A-/abadia64.png

Config for emu:

As I said: simplier to create than it looks like

So, please help me to fill this website FULL with CPC-games and CPC-demos

To show you how easy it is to add new games, here's my upload-script I coded for the site:

All you need to do is to add the file(s), the screenshot, select the A-Z folder and the type (game, demo or tape),

and add the title to the config.

That's in most cases all you need to do. (Not all disks can autoboot, so perhaps the file entry is needed here)

So, is anyone here, who wants to help me?

Added a few games, which are able to store their highscores.

So, feel free to do a competition

(Only registered members, who ask me in a PM can store their scores)

4 games are already available:

- Arkanoid

- Cauldron 1

- Cauldron 2

- Death Wish 3

Highscorelists:

CPC+ Emulation
I begun to emulate the CPC+ and also the GX4000 / Amstrad CSD (Cartridge Software Demonstrator).

From now you can also play many GX4000 games in the GX4000 section or inside the CSD page.

Well yes, the CPC+ emulation is not very far yet... (And I'm afraid that I cannot improve it much in the next time)

New feature:

Every game opens now in a preview-page and provides bbcode / html code to share it on other websites or forums.

Example:

http://java.cpc-live.com/game.php?id=-P-&title=paperboy1

Looks in a forum like:



I also added a Facebook-share button for each game...

(who searches me on FB: https://www.facebook.com/devilmarkus )

I also already have 12 games with a highscore list!
