emuControlCenter 0.9.9 Work in progress (WIP) logoNow you can download WIP06.2 of emuControlCenter 1.0.0.




Hi All,

We’re still busy with emuControlCenter!, developement goes slow at the moment…, but we get a lot of user-inut lately, like new platforms, imagepacks & translations for v1.0.0 WIP version of eCC.
Also a new program ‘ECC imagepack creator’ has been made!, This tool creates sorted 7z imagepacks of your platforms in a few seconds! so you can share it easily with us! (download in the forum).

We have also added new Platforms, most additions come from ‘te_lanus’ who gave us the resources. (thanks!)

Added platforms:
- Acorn Atom
- Bondwell Model 2
- DEC PDP-1
- Sega Pico
- Signetics Pipbug

Coming soon:
- Dec PDP-7
- Casio Loopy

We’re also getting a lot of translations for the 1.0.0 WIP version of eCC, this version has much better support for foreign characters then 0.9.9, so much more translations can be made!

Additional languages in the v1.0.0 WIP version of eCC:
- Greek (by Alkis30)
- Hungarian (by Gruby & Delirious)
- Portuguese (by Namnam)
- Spanish (by Jarlaxe)

I (phoenix) am working on EDC, wich can download and install your favorite emulator into ECC with a blink of an eye, it’s already downloadable in the forum!, it’s a great project wich needs some more time before it’s complete, so please be patient.

Best Regards,
Andreas & Sebastiaan

Stay tuned!
