AmigaWave: Entrevista a Ben y Mario, miembros del desarrollo del Dandanator Mini para Amstrad CPC

En el episodio #424 de AmigaWave, Ben y Mario presentaron el Dandanator Mini para Amstrad CPC, un periférico pensado para facilitar la carga y distribución de software en equipos retro. Tras el éxito en ZX Spectrum, el dispositivo adopta un diseño inspirado en la Amstrad GX4000, lo que le ha valido el apodo de “GX4000 Mini”.

Se conecta al puerto Edge de los CPC 464, 664 y 6128 (no compatible con la gama Plus) y apuesta por un diseño modular: el lector principal funciona con cartuchos intercambiables que contienen la ROM, abaratando costes y simplificando la distribución. Incluye botones de reset y carga de ROM alternativa, además de un puerto USB-C para conexión directa al PC.

Dispone de 512 KB de memoria Flash para mapear bancos de ROM de forma rápida. Al encender el CPC, muestra un menú instantáneo de selección de software. Si no hay cartucho insertado, el equipo arranca en BASIC gracias a su función pass-through.

El gestor multiplataforma permite crear compilaciones propias y enviar juegos vía USB-C en apenas 2-3 segundos. Incluye base de datos de pokes y opciones de personalización del menú, aunque adaptar imágenes a la paleta CPC requiere trabajo.

El sistema también sirve como plataforma de distribución para nuevos desarrollos homebrew. Se anunciaron recopilatorios clásicos de Dynamic Software y el cartucho “La bolsa del CAT”. Las unidades se venden principalmente en eventos como RetroParla por unos 50€ (CPC), mientras que los cartuchos individuales rondan los 20-25€, destacando su fabricación artesanal mediante carcasas impresas en 3D.

Si quieres más detalles, te aconsejamos que te pases por el canal de Amiga Wave y disfrutes de la entrevista completa que además incluye como siempre, un repaso a las últimas noticias.

Funfact: you can use exactly the same hardware in 86Box, as I have here in real 🤯

Mainboard: Micronics Spitfire
CPU: Pentium II 233 MHz
Graphics card: S3 Trio64
Network card: RTL8139

I finally did it.

I may be literally 25 years late but I am now the proud owner of a Titanium PowerBook G4.

Strange that my desire for one of those machines has not abated in the intervening years.

Hello from an old year 1997 Machine!
This snac server is now running on a Micronics Spitfire with 2x Pentium II @ 233MHz and 512MB SD-RAM. Operating System is NetBSD 10.1, installed on a 120GB SSD (SATA->IDE converter)

OpenBSD wasn't able to run snac stable on this machine, it crashed after a few requests with "illegal instruction".

The 2000 Sony AirBoard was a flat panel device that predated the iPad by a decade, yet it featured WiFi and served as an all-in-one solution for streaming video, internet browsing, e-mail, and digital photos. #RetroHardware
