Where is that +D snapshot format described? I mean I have a few old snapshots done with the original Samco's Spectrum emulator, and I am unable to convert them to any other format (to be used in other emulators). /--- Aley

We'd usually load games on the Spectrum and then transfer them across... There were some that didn't like the NMI (Paperboy springs to mind), but I never actually tried loading them using the Coupe! If your Spectrum's keyboard was useless, you could copy the initial state from the Spectrum to the SAM, type LOAD "" on the SAM, copy it back to the Spectrum, play the tape, and then copy back to the SAM! > Handy if you've a load of Spectrum games you want to convert, but not > necessary now we have the Internet and access to ROM files. AFAICS, there were only really three main reasons for using the SAM to play Spectrum games -- you didn't have a working spectrum, you wanted to play with the palette, or you wanted snapshots. :-) BTW, does anyone know the format used for the messenger snapshots? It really ought to be in the CSS FAQ. (Unless it's the +D format, in which case it's already there.) Cheers, -- Stuart Brady
