Re: ASCD 0.90
That text on web I wrote one or two weeks ago when I dug in some other parts of SimCoupe, which were unknown for me, and I (no surprise!) find 100 new not so clever C constructs and not so fast algorithms for basic tasks. Although many people may disagree with my comments, I WON'T DELETE THEM. And, I also wrote that I won't consult source code-related questions here, at sam-users. Binary distribution moved to http://aley.borec.cz And source distribution will be moved there too. I am short in time now, since I am completing version 0.91. I will release source code until end of this month on specified www site. Please be patient. Of course, I can send WIP source code anytime. Especially to you, Simon.

From your homepage: SimCoupé is terribly badly written program, that was originally developed on Unix, but was then continued only in DOS version. Even later, the brutally rewritten Win32 version was released, which shares only the famous name with the original product. You have such a way with words - I nearly choked on my tea this morning when I read that! :-D Oh, and can you send me the source now please? Si

Not sure about the User Guide, but I know the tech manual was PDF'd and is (or at least was) available on some website or other. Which I can no longer find the bookmark for. It was a Johnny Foreigner website if that narrows it down :) Gavin
Re: ASCD 0.90
Trying keep you happy after reading my web pages, I offer sending working Defenders Of Earth to anyone who have problems converting original diskette to DSK/SAD/SDF. Obviously I won't send it to NVG or to people who don't own original disk. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 10:15 PM Subject: Re: ASCD 0.90 Ouch But it (SimCoupé) runs Defender, so it gets my vote!!! ;-) How do you get defenders running under simcoupe? I`ve got the original disk, but never managed to get it to covnert to a dsk file. I presume Chris is talking about his conversion of the coin-op classic 'Defender' as opposed to Enigma's 'Defenders of the Earth' Si Owen's SDF format could probably handle the protection on DotE but there's no front-end for it (sob!), dunno about Aley's SAD format.

Sam Prime
I have two questions. How many issues of Sam Prime exist? What has it to do with Sam News? The author(s) seem(s) to be the same.
Re: ASCD 0.90
Sam Defender is nice. But I can't play it since I can't start it. Please tell me what hidden combination of keys do it need to? 1. Get to redefine keys menu. 2. Start it. M, not too sure what you mean here??? From anywhere during the attract sequence you can press '1' to start a one-player game and '2' to start a two-player game. 'K' will take you to the key redefine section, as you already know. This only works if the program actually gets past the 'Digital Reality' logo screen. If it halts on this page then you've got emulation timing problems!! ;-) ASCD 0.90 does run Defender but you'll see some corruption during screen switching through the initial start-up screens. I think the original (Alan's) DOS emu suffered this problem too. If you're not emulating the 'screen-off' function then this'll be why... Good to see the sound emulation on ASCD 0.90 has much improved. POP-UP: THAT'S WINDOW OF MY PROVIDER. IF I REMOVE IT, THEY WILL REMOVE ME COMPLETELY!!! ;-) I understand... It's just a pet hate of mine! (New download page http://aleyu.borec.cz does have banners instead of pop-up's. It is better? Only got a '404' error when trying this page... However, banners are preferable to pop-ups!!! :) Chris.
