Just a quick thought,

What games could be accomplished on the ol` SAM, everybody always
says about how underpowered the SAM is in Mode 4, but when I`m
playing more Spectrum games recently, I`m getting a certain shock as to
how many games ran at perhaps lower than 8 fps, and yet it doesn`t
matter, perhaps I should have asked what games could be done.

Could Avenger be done at a similar framerate, for example?

You'll have contention wherever you stick it in memory.

Really, to speed it up you'll have to look at your player code and try to
get that as efficient as possible as it'll be running every single frame.
Instead of processing a music file every frame and calculating values for
the SAA registers on the fly, you could have all the register data ready in
chucks to be OUT'd every frame, although it would eat up more RAM you would
benefit from a faster playback routine.

Chris - am I right in thinking that you (and perhaps Cookie) had written a
fast e-tracker player?

Cross Complier n Debugger (Was a thought (was RE: Moment of truth))

2003-01-17 Thread Chris White
The problem is that without an IDE, then a debugger is pretty useless.
You need something
which will allow you to track the current position of code and refer it
back to a particular  section of source, and automatically take you to
that source.

But this could be taken the route SN Systems did and intergrated into
MSDev say, this could then be AS ONE, but as Frode Said You don't NEED
that. I have no problems whatsoever having source code in one window and
the debugger/simulator in another. Compiling in a third. Actually, I
prefer it. , and I would agree 100%, and we could take MS Os as a point
and say intergration helps, but also cause more issues etc!!!. I have
done Gbc/Gba/ps1  now ps2 without any form of intergrated Debugger , it
helps but not in everyday codding , only in starting out, however on the
sam theres not much else that could be done , just maybe a little better
n faster :)

The Compiler in question works wonderfully , and it only takes a small
Watcom (or any other maker) to get working 

I personnaly don't think simcoupe should have anything intregrated as
then it would no longer be a emulator in it purest form, but then again
that's not my call lmao

Just my 1/2 p worth (not worth anymore than that lol)

RE: a thought (was RE: Moment of truth)

2003-01-17 Thread Chris White

But tight integration = faster development = more software.
It's an initial time investment which brings significant long-term
benefits.
Geoff

But I have to disagree here, the coding mostly takes less time than the
GFX/Presentation etc, how will intergration help you with that ?

By this I mean , if you have pages of TXT to enter , and the IDE is
trying to set it out as source with tabs etc, remember the coder is only
1/5 of the whole development process
(Designer,coder,Artist,musician,testers), and sometimes they are the
same person !!

This is just my experince , nothing more, intergration only helps to a
point , after that it becomes a hinderence.

And as for more software , first we need to create good software , how
many more Fifa's can there be, next there will be versions everytime a
play is injured pmsl.

Ahh. I thought I might not make myself clear, oh well.

I didn't mean the play of the game, ie the computer's play, I meant
rather the gameplay as in the intuitiveness of the controls, the
learning curve etc.

Just silly things like not having the same after-touch mechanism on the
game pads (contrary to the words in the printed manual, incidentally) so
you need to use analog sticks which makes sending the ball in a straight
line nigh-on impossible.

And the goalie being computer controlled was a mistake. I understood why
the decision was taken: novices -always- send the goalie the wrong way
when control changes from a defender; but it just meant that I had less
control over the outcome of the game than I had before.

 Same core was taken across to Gba if my info is correct

That surprised me: given that it's an ARM chip, why not just use the
code from the Acorn conversion?

 And peeps are entitled to their opionion no matter what ;)

heh. Well I'm with you there.

I *really* hate to bring this up again, but I need to ask your

opinions either on or off list, especially if you've ever developed or 
published SAM software in the past. It's in relation to the File Library

I'm putting together for the SC site.

There's two camps in the copyright arguement - those who don't give a 
monkeys about copyright on SAM software, see it as a dead machine and 
think all its software should be free. Then there's the people who stick

to the copyrights religiously (at least in public!) and see no way round

it. I'm going to try and adopt a sensible compromise with copyrighted 
software. I will make every reasonable effort to get in touch with the 
author and/or publisher to seek permission to make the software 
available for download. If I fail to make contact, I will post on the 
mailing list, Usenet and this website, asking people to help me out. If 
after a further month, I still have not made contact with those 
involved, I will assume it's okay to make the software available. 
People's opinions will be taken into account, so that if it's reckoned 
that the author would not the software distributed, that's the way it 
will stay as far as this site is concerned. It's basically an attempt to

keep SAM software available where possible, without annoying people.

Thanks for any opinions...

 Does anyone know if there is an update to allow for a harddisk file
 yet in any of the sam emulators?

The latest SimCoupé release has preliminary support for the Atom disk
interface and an IDE hard disk.  It lacks the UI to create/manage the
disks, so you won't find any mention of it in the front-end.  If you're
keen to try it, you can do the following:

- Edit your SimCoupe.cfg, and change the 'Disk2' entry to have a value
of 2 (for 'Atom' instead of 'Floppy 2').
- Create a file called HARDDISK.DAT in the SimCoupé directory that's as
big as the hard disk you want.  4MB will give you about 10 records (it's
800K per record/disk, with 512 bytes for the boot sector, and a bit more
for the record name list BDOS uses).

Note that the early support only works with BDOS version 1.6 or earlier,
as the later versions added CD-ROM support which queried some ATA
commands that were not supported (and BDOS didn't seem to fail them
gracefully).

The current development version (available in CVS) handles all BDOS
versions, and doesn't require a HARDDISK.DAT file.  Instead, it
dynamically creates a virtual hard disk from the floppy disk images
found in a sub-directory under the main SimCoupé directory.  So, each
floppy image found becomes a record - makes copying to/from the hard
disk much easier.  It still lacks a UI to configure this from the
front-end, but it's in a much better state for that to be done now.

Hello peeps,

I have a question, directed either at the author of Momentum (who I'm
sure I know but couldn't find out) or at someone good enough to give me
some ideas anyway...

I've kinda moved away from SAM stuff these days and I'm mostly writing
console games. Over the Summer myself and other people are working on a
GameBoy Advanced game that requires an isometric engine that can also
handle vertical walls and 45 degree slopes as well as flat bits. My
problem is that I have no idea how to do this.

In broad pseudo-code-esque terms, can anyone tell me a good way to
represent a world like this, and a way to begin putting it all on the
screen?

Cheers

RE: Momentum question

2002-05-15 Thread Chris White
Slopes  Walls need no special stuff , as you would draw from back to
front , so again its just 2D map , that's drawn isometric, collision
will need 2 Height arrays , else all the normal 2D Style nothing else

Honest if you can do 2d Scroll + deblock , you can do Isometric

I've done flat isometric engines before, and it's just a case of using
a 2-dimensional array to represent each tile and then do some clever
stuff to display it as diamonds on the screen. From what I can tell GBA
is a bit limited in graphics memory but there won't be that many
different textures to a level so I can work that problem out.

The difference with momentum is that it has slopes and walls and I have
no idea how to store or draw that... 

Cheers for the links, I will go and explore them to see what I can find,
but if anyone can help me out in a bit more detail I'd be eternally
grateful...

I wonder if it could be possible to have discussions with the seller,
get listings of what's on the CD and 
explain which of the files are copyrighted still. 

Then put what files are legal back onto a new CD and sell/auction the
newer CD, further increasing the Sam Coupe admirers.

As I no longer own a SAM, I feel it's time to quit the e-group.

I was among the first batch of SAM owners all those years ago and it
gave me 
great deal of satisfaction and pleasure. It was an excellent computer,
being 
well-designed and easy to use.

One of the best things about SAM was the loyalty and help shown by its 
devoted enthusiasts. I enjoyed meeting, or communicating with, many of
the 
people connected with SAM, and it's good to see that so many of these
people 
still enjoy this computer.

I'd like to thank all those in the e-group for giving such help and
support 
to me and other SAM owners over the years. It was great fun - I'm only
sorry 
that Alan Miles and Bruce Gordon never had the financial success they 
deserved. At least I've had the pleasure of talking to Messrs. Miles and

Gordon, a claim I can't make about Bill Gates since buying a PC...

I'll officially unsubscribe in a few days time.

Thanks to all of you, and I hope the group keeps going for a long time
to 
come.

 Sadly the SAM scene has been plagued down the years by people who want

 to debate the fine print and small details whilst the big picture 
 dissapears down the river.
 
 Anyway, I've had a change of heart. I think the people who are holding

 on dearly to copyrights for games over ten years old are neing quite 
 astute. The way I see it is this - nobody wants the Medal Of Honor or 
 Black and White's of this world anymore. They resent paying £10 for 
 Deus Ex on budget when for only £5 more they can buy Mind Games 1 or 
 SAM Strikes Out.
 
 In fact, the PC, as I see it, is dead! All those businesses are tired 
 of paying huge licences to Microsoft and are going to abandon using 
 Windows 2000 and Office and instead run all their applications from 
 SAM Basic, using Outwrite for their letters and SC_DTP for their 
 presentations.
 
 Who needs networking? We've got the RS232 connector, ever reliable I'm

 sure you'll agree.
 
 Yes yes, hold on to them games, hold on. Keep them all locked away and

 keep the SAM market to the little closed shop it has always been.
 
 This topic is dead, admittedly, but at least we stirred some interest 
 on the list for a bit. In the mean time, if anybody has any SAM .dsk 
 images they want to zip up and email to me so I can sit and break all 
 the copyright laws
 in the world from the comfort of my own bedroom, please do. I've got a
few
 lying around somewhere, so perhaps we could start some kind of
rebellion
 and
 eventually overthrow the evil rulers that try and stop us playing
Manic
 Miner in 16 colours.
 
 The stupid thing about the entire debate really is that much of the 
 SAM market that is still alives thrives outside of the UK where 
 copright control is somewhat less than perfectly observed.
 
 ---
 
 On another note, Colin MacD's SAM History is, I'm sure, STILL hugely 
 interesting and would, no doubt stir up some good debate on this list.

 Any chance of a few leaks here and there Colin, or are oyu waiting for

 all the protagonists to die first, like in the JFK murder case??!?!?!
 
 ---
 
 and finally, anyone know what Alan and Bruce are doing now after all 
 these years? Anyone still in touch? Did they ever get back into the pc

 industry again?

 Enough from me for now. Take it easy

Oh they Care allright ( i had a nice chat with Eidos(own's Domark) after
i released my stuff ) , never did with Dma/Sony over lemmings thought. I
think it also help me inb the fact that i once worked for Domark after
doing Sam Version :)

But i won on the contract i had with SamCo/Domark/Me , Basicly the
Copyrighted Code for Sam version reverted to me after five years (and
beens as it was Hand crafted and not ported) , i could do as i wished.
The Gfx was all mine to (Except for the Loading screen done by Neil
Holmes). And beens as i was not gaining any money (Hense it can only be
sold via a NON PROFIT MAKING COMPANY) , i was in the clear.

Lemming could be an interesting one , as Gfx was direct from Dma (touch
up/Modified by Doug Holmes) , but beens as Sony(own's psygnosis) holds
the contracts (if they are still in force) , or Dma would/have become
the full owners by know , but there is no intent to defraud. Or
Devaluate a ageing product , infact i hope its helps peeps who want to
know how to code or sifted though it and found usefull bits to help
peeps on.

I have (IMHO) legimently release what is mine ( contract with
Fred/Dma/Psygnosis/Samco/Domark expired after five years , with all the
Sam code copyright referring to me, and Gfx to the artists  Music to
the Musician ), and i have left all copyrights intack (visable) , and i
also acknoledge them.

All i can say is ,

1. If you have no right to release , post , upload then your on your own
(i have been over zelious on this from time to time , and peeps have
rightly ( but maybe over agressivly ) , Objected. Tip - try saying I
own thoose please remove - instead of Who the F**K has upload all
copyright material, and then go into atack mode

2. If you do post/upload copyright material , be prepared to answer why.

3. If you own it do what you like , but be carefull on TM  (R) as they
are inforcable for 100's of years

4. Don't try my route , I have just been lucky

Nearly the last point for everyone to take note is Ultimate (RARE) ,
they refuse anyone to release upload/down any of there old titles (some
obscure intelli law) , unless its packed in the method they choose (i,e
as you would dload it from thier site) , if your found to have unzipped
+ added or removed anything you have violate their rights and you will
be knobled.

But , this is the biggy , you can upload/download what you want , till u
get caught. Then your into a whole new world , this one saw's in this
order

1. Benifit of the doubt , ask them to remove. Also ask how much it's
cost you (In Sam's case this is 0.00 + Vat) 2. Failure on above by
poster/holder, so seek legal if have Copyright/Tm/R, Else go sulk 3.
Failure on above by poster/holder, old bill court , no computers etc etc
etc

So you all be carefull out there :)

JetPac

  Correct! I never said I did!!!

So why should the Sam's copyright-holders let you download their
software, based on the unauthorized and illegal availability of that 
particular title?

SO WHY DOES CHRIS WHITE DO THIS WITH PRINCE OF PERSIA THEN?

  I think the point is that people on this list only want to point
  out download sites which respect the wishes of the copyright owner.

  If that wish is that some money goes to charity every time somebody

  gets a
game,
  then it's their right to say so and you should respect it too.
 
  I would if I knew what games they were referring to!

ANYTHING which isn't specifically made free, is copyrighted to
somebody. Frankly I'm quite surprised by the number of people who don't

Only if he has not sold/copied/gave 1 copy away , after either has
happened he owes regardless

And if they where bothered , they would sue for each amount they could
have made+their charges to Sue

So taking the second option is 2 late after you have commited the act ,

 SO ON NOTE THINK ON HOW NICE IT IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY UP!

But he would take the latter option!

   What would you say if Simon Owen charged you for using SIM Coupe?
 
 I'd say That's a breach of the GPL, Sir. Fortunately he doesn't.
 
 WELL DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY HE DOESN'T?!! OR WHY CHRIS PILE DOESN'T 
 CHARGE FOR DEFENDER? IT'S CALLED GOODWILL, AND LONG MAY IT CONTINUE, 
 OTHERWISE THERE WON'T BE ANY SCENE LEFT IF SUCH AN ATTITUDE PREVAILED.

Well if he did, as Andrew says, it'd be a breach of the GPL. There's

1. didn't have rights to do converstion. But thought would be ok once he
had done it while he was out of work 2. found the same to be lacking in
grunt (4x Screen data to shift , but close to same MHz of Speccy)) 3.
Got a job that paided more money after signing contract with Sam CO

Ah well, not bad for a day's work.

Now if there was a way of stopping the time out on the demo, it would be

perfect. It's just a pity the original was never finished - does anyone
know 
why it was scrapped?

Heh, so it does!  I wonder if that was meant to return to BASIC or
something, but the system area has been trashed by then?


  Do you think future versions of Sim Coupe will support the TZX
  format - as I noticed there were several cover tapes each featuring 
  SAM software.

Yeah, I don't see why not, especially as there have now been a couple
of requests for it.  How long it'll take to go in is another matter 
though! I bet it'll actually end up being more useful for loading 
Spectrum tapes than SAM ones too.


  What I'm not sure is if some is already available, and therefore
  there wouldn't be much point?!!

I noticed the comment in the TZX file says Don't Know If This Works
?, which suggests it's a blind untested conversion of the tape (we'll 
find out eventually!).  The comment also mentions the file was created 
by Andrew Barker, who co-maintains the TZX archive.

2002-03-09 Thread Chris White

Oh they Care allright ( i had a nice chat with Eidos(own's Domark) after
i released my stuff ) , never did with Dma/Sony over lemmings thought. I
think it also help me inb the fact that i once worked for Domark after
doing Sam Version :)

But i won on the contract i had with SamCo/Domark/Me , Basicly the
Copyrighted Code for Sam version reverted to me after five years (and
beens as it was Hand crafted and not ported) , i could do as i wished.
The Gfx was all mine to (Except for the Loading screen done by Neil
Holmes). And beens as i was not gaining any money (Hense it can only be
sold via a NON PROFIT MAKING COMPANY) , i was in the clear.

Lemming could be an interesting one , as Gfx was direct from Dma (touch
up/Modified by Doug Holmes) , but beens as Sony(own's psygnosis) holds
the contracts (if they are still in force) , or Dma would/have become
the full owners by know , but there is no intent to defraud. Or
Devaluate a ageing product , infact i hope its helps peeps who want to
know how to code or sifted though it and found usefull bits to help
peeps on.

I have (IMHO) legimently release what is mine ( contract with
Fred/Dma/Psygnosis/Samco/Domark expired after five years , with all the
Sam code copyright referring to me, and Gfx to the artists  Music to
the Musician ), and i have left all copyrights intack (visable) , and i
also acknoledge them.

All i can say is ,

1. If you have no right to release , post , upload then your on your own
(i have been over zelious on this from time to time , and peeps have
rightly ( but maybe over agressivly ) , Objected. Tip - try saying I
own thoose please remove - instead of Who the F**K has upload all
copyright material, and then go into atack mode

2. If you do post/upload copyright material , be prepared to answer why.

3. If you own it do what you like , but be carefull on TM  (R) as they
are inforcable for 100's of years

4. Don't try my route , I have just been lucky

Nearly the last point for everyone to take note is Ultimate (RARE) ,
they refuse anyone to release upload/down any of there old titles (some
obscure intelli law) , unless its packed in the method they choose (i,e
as you would dload it from thier site) , if your found to have unzipped
+ added or removed anything you have violate their rights and you will
be knobled.

But , this is the biggy , you can upload/download what you want , till u
get caught. Then your into a whole new world , this one saw's in this
order

1. Benifit of the doubt , ask them to remove. Also ask how much it's
cost you (In Sam's case this is 0.00 + Vat) 2. Failure on above by
poster/holder, so seek legal if have Copyright/Tm/R, Else go sulk 3.
Failure on above by poster/holder, old bill court , no computers etc etc
etc

So you all be carefull out there :)

Ps I still am unable to spell correctly, and can be totally not arshed

IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE IRONY OF SUCH A SITUATION, I'M NOT GOING TO 
EXPLAIN WHAT WAS ESSENTIALLY A LIGHT HEARTED SARCASTIC COMMENT.

I know - once we've cracked how to get it up and running why don't we 
sell it Persona for charity purposes

  Just because you can download games for other systems, doesn't make

  it legal. You mentioned JetPac, and Ultimate are one of the 
  companies who  most viciously protect their old Spectrum games: you

  didn't find
JetPac
   at World Of Spectrum.
 
  Correct! I never said I did!!!

So why should the Sam's copyright-holders let you download their 
software, based on the unauthorized and illegal availability of that 
particular title?

SO WHY DOES CHRIS WHITE DO THIS WITH PRINCE OF PERSIA THEN?

  I think the point is that people on this list only want to point 
  out download sites which respect the wishes of the copyright owner.

  If that wish is that some money goes to charity every time somebody

  gets a
game,
  then it's their right to say so and you should respect it too.
 
  I would if I knew what games they were referring to!

ANYTHING which isn't specifically made free, is copyrighted to 
somebody. Frankly I'm quite surprised by the number of people who don't

seem to immediately realise this.

WE DO REALISE THIS ANDREW, CHECK OUT THE 5,438 GAMES FOR DOWNLOAD AT
WORLD 
OF SPECTRUM AND YOU'LL REALISE THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS DON'T CARE BECAUSE
THE 
COMPUTER IS DEAD AND THE SOFTWARE IS NOT FOR SALE! AS DOES CHRIS WHITE!

  Persona negotiated with some programmers to get rights to 
  distribute a number of their titles, when the original publisher(s)

I hjave only 9 known ROM images, and those are originally from me, some of

All Sam software ever programmed by me and published by Axoft, Fidzi or

foolish and still going to make your Sam ROMs database, I will search at

consider it useless.

Also, you wrote that all images you have have been downloaded from web, and

Yeah normally (knowing what Cowering has done with other systems) , he kinda

and it will eventually become the definative collection etc

I still have some to upload (305) , and they are in the cue , just ping rate
was a little low earlier

If you want to create a Dir called Good , with a dir SamCRen , put all zips
in their that i upload , then but the 2 txt files i upload inside Good

I will email you another Ftp that i contibute 2 off list , so you can see

RE: Help me :)

2001-04-23 Thread Chris White
Okay some seemed to not full understand , so heres an overview

There is a bod called Cowering . who does dos apps for renameing roms/images
into a global regonised format for archiving and sharing etc

He has just released his first GoodSamC , and it regonises 507 images , of
which i have 244 , some of them was ripped from many of the websites/nvg ,
but missing 200+ seems high

Now if you run this tool with commands Rename,List or New , it will do
things like Rename file , List unknown files , List Newest addition files

and It will output TXT files SamCHave.txt,SamCMiss.txt,SamCNew.txt etc etc ,
and as i have collected all other roms
(GEn,Snes,Gbx,Gba,gg,Nes,Sms,Jag,Lyx,Speccy,Cpc,Amiga,St,C64,C16,V20,Vectrex
etc etvc etv ),

This is now his new project to identify all KNOWN sam images , and what a
better place to ask but here for help on collecting all he has identified
and submitting all that he has not

So back to the original Question , if anyone wants to help then  email me
off list and i will emial the 48k app (zipped ) , and lets see what we can
do to help

Stuart Brady wrote:
 BTW, what needs to be done to convert a sad file to a dsk and vice-versa?

Use Aley's 2SAD program, which can convert to DSK or SAD (versions 1 and 2)
ftp://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/sam-coupe/utils/disk/2sad.zip

Alternatively, create a new DSK file in SimCoupe, mount both images and do a
disk copy between them :-)


 Dsks appear to be simple raw 819200 byte (800k) files.

DSK files are that fixed at that size because they're always 2 sides x 80
tracks x 10 sectors x 512 bytes.  The blocks of sector data are ordered:
side 0 track 0, side 1 track 0, side 0 track 1, etc.

SAD files have a 22 bytes header, which contains a rather large text
signature and some geometry information.  You can specify the number of
sides, number of tracks per side, number of sectors per track and the bytes
per sector.  The SAD data order is different from DSK images, so you can't
just chop the header from a 2:80:10:512 SAD image; instead it uses: side 0
track 0, side 0 track 1, side 0 track 2, etc.



 So what's a sad version 1 and a sad version 2? Is version 2 *exactly* the
 same, but gzipped?

Indeedely-doo!


 And finally, SDF seems to be nice, but official format haven't been
 introduced yet. And - more sadly - the .SDF creator is not available.

 What does SDF do (which SAD doesn't do)?

Though SAD provides some geometry control, it's a regular format used for
the whole disk.  So if you specify 1024 bytes per sector, that applies to
every sector on every track.

SDF represents a lower-level view of the disk, allowing more flexible
control of what's in each track.  So you can mix sector sizes within tracks,
have unformatted tracks, and generally format up anything that you'd be able
to do on a real SAM.  It can also store deliberate disk errors, and allow
tweaked ID FIELD values - the sorts of things that copy protected disks
require.  The overall SDF goal is to have a single disk image that can be
used for any SAM purpose, as you can do with a physical floppy disk.


The only trouble is that SDF still hasn't been finalised...  There are SDF
disk images of Prince of Persia and Lemmings on Chris White's web-site, but
they're early test versions that I'd not really planned on releasing.  I'll
continue to support reading them in SimCoupe, but will only write/create
newer format files.

I've been discussing disk formats with an Atari ST emulator author, in the
hope that we could used a shared disk format to represent disks for the same
floppy controller.  One technique often used by ST games was to store small
amounts of data in the inter-sector gaps or data fields - something not
covered by the original SDF format.  The only way to read this hidden data
is to use the 'diagnostic track read' command to read a raw track.  To cover
software examining any part of this raw track data we'd need to store the
full ~6250 bytes for each track, which works out at 1MB of data.

This diagnostic track read command seems like an ideal way to scan disks to
create an image of each track - something that should hold all the data we
need!  Unfortunately, there's a weird quirk with the floppy controller that
causes certain values stored on the track that gets the MFM decoding part of
the controller out of sync, so anything read from that point on seems like
garbage.  So the data read using this command will be different (maybe in a
predictable way?) from that read using the normal sector read commands, etc.

So for the perfect disk image we'd need to keep the current ~960K of regular
data, and also store the 1MB of raw track data just in case something needs
it.  I'm not actually aware of any SAM software that would require it, but
it's something I'd like to have covered if we need it!  Almost 2MB for a
disk image is a bit much for general use, so I'm thinking of having it as an
optional tagged field in the SDF image format, so the 960K version will be a
'normal' image (all these images can be compressed with gzip of course).

I've disabled some of the SDF code in the latest SimCoupe while I continue
to ponder what to do, but it's still on my mental ToDo list to be finished
off 'soon'.  If anyone has any thoughts on the subject I'm open to
suggestions...

Hello my turn now :)

 Si Wrote

 I guess as long as sector 1 of track 4 is a regular 512 bytes in size, and
 contains the BOOT signature and some bootable code, it doesn't matter what
 the code is or what the rest of the disk looks like.  SimCoupe only needs
to
 be concerned whether the signature is present to know that it's worth
 pressing  F9 to run the code...

Trk4:Sec1 , can be anysize you wish ( think one of mine was 1024 , can't
remeber which ) ,

But i also agree with Aley , in that a Rom Alteration should be made ( if
this is decided a want thing by most ) , and should be added to the No Dos
call to load a pre-stored image of rom/ram or just have a Image file with a
dos on and boot that , that way the user could chose what dos they wanted

just my say , and thank godness theres no more silly maths in here , we all
know that x/0 = crash , and in a computer world thats bad ,

Also, if anyone would like to try a recent binary, I've uploaded the latest
snapshot to http://homepage.ntlworld.com/simon.owen/SimCoupe.zip

Note: this is just a bare EXE so you'll need to have the older WinCoupe
package mentioned above - many of the key mappings have changes, and I've
not updated the docs yet!  Also note that the EXE is now called SimCoupe.exe
instead of WinCoupe.exe :-)

Dave Laundon and I have been working very hard on it over the last few
weeks, and hope it's faster and more accurate than ever.  There aren't many
known problems at the moment, and we'd would welcome any feedback on how
runs compared to the previous version as well as anything you think that
runs differently to the real beast.  E-mail me if you have any problems,
questions, suggestions, etc.

  I think I've got a SDF description (C structure) somewhere.

I have this now - it's fairly tiny so I'll post it here:

Is this a format that Si Owen has made for WinCoupe?, if so it's capable (as
far as I can see) of making images of  protected discs.

Lemmings on WinCoupe anyone :-)

Chris, I must notice, that I'm Aley, not Alley. (I'm a person, not a kind of

SDF was developed by Si Owen, the author of WinCoupe.

Si wrote a converter any real diskette - SDF, so he converted Lemmings,
and
probably many other games. Of course, he won't publish these files because
of

 The first category - Best Game. Up to 18 months after the SAM
 was released, there was one undisputed contender for the
 crown. Defenders of the Earth. Since then, however, things have
 improved ever so slightly. So ...rustles with envelope... the winner
 is...

 Prince of Persia

 Lemmings and Stratosphere were slugging it out for second place,
 with Lemmings just shading it.

  Go for it - I can stick an advert in the next issue of SC for a second
  hand SAM for you if you like. And I'm still trying to get round to
  getting an Atom myself - last time I spoke to Len he had trouble getting
  a bracket for the internal version (which needs 2.5 drives). However, I
  bought a 17gig hard drive for my PC a month ago and the PC motherboard
  blew a week later, so maybe I'll get an external Atom after all, and see
  if I can fill the 17 gig with SAM stuff ;) (What's the biggest drive
  anyone has tried with the Atom?)

 As i understand Edwin has tested the Atom with a 6.4gig drive, it worked
 perfectly. One question remains then, what the hell do you do with 8000
 empty records
