I don't have it. It is dead as I upgraded to 0.81. But don't understand it bad: PLEASE, WHO HAVE MY ASCD SOURCES, SEND THEM TO SI OWEN. I'm sure that somebody on sam-users has the sources. Otherwise I will send you 0.81 version without AIR lib. As usually I forgot to kame src backup. What I mostly added, and is missing in your WinCoupe, is ZXS emulation mode. I've added support for snapshot files, 3.5MHz timing, etc. Many changes also apply to DOS only (audio/video things, etc.) I hope I will have some time this week to add 128k emulation, as ASCD is still the only emulator which supports AIR. Some people are desperate for it. btw. Can somebody tell me what is real clock of ZXS 48k and 128k? Is it 3.5MHz exactly, or is it some other values. I would preffer if somebody can tell me number of T-states per scanline, or T-states per frame (or both). > > Yes, I've done some changes, so ASCD itself doesn't ahng up > > Win2k.

Do you think it could? Hardware timer is required for good emulation. I don't know how far NT can do it, but I am affraid that shit is not a real DOS either, so I don't support ASCD for NT/2000. Sorry. My other programs work perfectly on Win2k, especially my progs fo Win9x. > > AIR files are encrypted Aley's Input Records. ;-) > > *groans* I thought the 'A' mighta been that!
