Best emulator to use for pc? For my Dad!

When I was younger we used to play games like Roland on the ropes, Oh mummy! Spannerman, Fruit Machine to name a few! We still own the tapes but I didn't know if there was a emulator so he could play them again and be able to finish the games? I'm hoping to get him another CPC 464 when I can afford it!

CPC 6128 back to life, need keycap!

I inherited this CPC 6128 from my aunt. I bought the power supplies, the floppy disk rubber and it just works!

Unfortunately, one of the keycaps is lost. By any chance, is there anyone who has the file to 3D print the one I'm missing? Even though it's a blank piece, that would work for me :)

Thank You!

Amstrad GT65 HDMI adapter

Bringing your 40 year old GT65 to 2026. I built this adapter to connect a monochrome Amstrad GT65 to a modern computer. It uses a USB capture card to pretend to be a 640x480 display before downscaling and dithering the captured frames on a Raspberry Pi. The RPi then sends the data over SPI to an FPGA which handles the frame buffers and the timings for the CRT. The FPGA then interfaces via a custom PCB which includes a level shifter and LVDS decoders. The CRT itself has 1 bit per pixel at a resolution of 296x256. The refresh rate is 50Hz.

Have you ever heard about a SCSI interface for the CPC?

I came across this image of a proposed SCSI interface for the amstrad CPC in a forum. This was a while ago and I forgot where was that, but I just wonder is it really possible to connect SCSI devices to the amstrad cpc?

And could someone create a brand new one since the main IC here is still available for cheap amd rest of that looks like just logic IC's.
