CPC Snapper

CPC hardware

It is a cartridge designed primarily as a “plug-and-play” device, featuring a built-in file manager that allows you to load games directly from the cartridge itself. Here are the key features it implements:

Support for: DSK, SNA, CDT (partial)

Support for CP/M disks

Multi-load support for DSK files

Multifunction "Magic" button for disk swapping, diagnostics, and .SNA capture

Integrated buzzer simulating floppy drive sounds (Gotek-style), with volume control via the file manager

Floppy activity LED

Integrated diagnostic ROM

Direct .SNA capture to microSD

Folder navigation with identification of directories, DSK, SNA, and CDT files

Keyboard-based file search within folders

It works on both the CPC464 and CPC6128; a version for the Plus series is currently in development.
It is still in the final testing phase, so some details may change in the final firmware.
Here is a video showing it in action:

I followed the link in the post and the forum is in login-required mode ;_;

I hope more details come out that aren’t just on that one forum page.

Yes, I’ll post the info and price when I have them; it’s a homebrew production, not a company.
