Hi Simon,
end of alarm. I tried all sorts of key combinations but as murphy
dictates not the one which works Cntrl/F12.

I've built an updated Pi version using SDL 2.0, which has vsync
enabled. Beta testers welcome!

It works fine. Only the full-screen mode does not work on X Window.
Simon explained there's no solution yet.
I tend to run outside of X as it's slightly faster, which can be needed
for demos that change much of the display each frame. Though I've just
tried in X and it does still work for me:

The problem I mentioned about not running in X was using OpenGL SE,
where there didn't seem to be Broadcom driver support for it (yet?). GL
SE support still only exists in a private branch at the moment, waiting
on SDL 2.0 to be finalised, and Pi support to be improved generally. I
did whether it was worth the effort for a Pi-specific version of the
video code, but if I can get it for free through SDL I'll get to spend
that time elsewhere!
SimCoupe makes the Pi's CPU to work a lot (70%-90%) but the maximum
SAM's speed is good enough (200%-250%). (I have overclocked the Pi to
800 MHz).
~250% sound about right for maximum running speed with the current
software version. I'm hoping that the switch to GL SE will give a bit
more time back to increase that, as well as 50Hz hard-synced video for
smooth scrolling.
My Pi has 256 MiB; I've ordered a 512 MiB one because 256 is not enough
for some working sessions
I've got a 512MB model for development, but SimCoupe will always be fine
on the 256MB version. I'll probably create a stripped-down version that
boots directly into SimCoupe, with less other junk loaded on startup --
similar to Allan's Linux root and boot disks back in 1996 :)
