unconvinced - i expect the scan conversion could handle two sets of data
with only a minor decrease in speed, eg 12 frames - 10 frames
Call me thick if you like uncomfortable pause but what is all this Elite
business anyway?
I have to admit, I've never played Elite before, so what's the game all
about, and why all the fuss about it? (I've led a sheltered existence
y'know!)

It's another one of these over-rated speccy games, like Manic

Hmm...I was pretty sure about the contention, either every second block
or page I seem to recall. However, it's been a while so I might be
wrong. For the screen off, I am again wrong. :) I just remember using
it on a mandelbrot generation program some years ago to speed up things.

If anyone is realy interested in doing a version of ELITE for the SAM, then
send me a private e-mail, and I will put you in touch with the man who may be
able to help you.

Yeah.
when using mode 4. How about a 3D vision version ( with a green(or blue)

red 3D glasses) ?

i'm wondering - does simcoupe support some kind of .TAP file? i could

not sure if my sam still

Possibly. But you might be able to do some clever stuff, but it will
still be too slow. 6MHz is not enough for 24K of screen
actually you might say 4.5 MHz. But with with at least 256K to waste
some fast memory wasting routines would increase speed.
The spectrum only had 48K

The SAM Version is actually the Spectrum version which has hacked code
for
saving and loading.
Errr... I think that's the only change actually.

Hi everyone,
I remember a little while back, plans to do a conversion of Elite for the SAM.
Is this any further down the road?
Would you need the original source code for such a task?
