For those who don't read it,
this months Linux Format includes SimCoupe in the feature on Emulators,
giving it almost a full page and some good press.
Huzzah!

What i bet it doesnt say is, if you really want to enjoy this machine - try
and locate one on ebay :D Nothing beats the real thing.

Actually I disagree. The emulator is now fast, accurate and featured enough
that it's far easier to code than using the sam ever was. Using Comet in
fast mode
Nahhh, your missing the point. I know the emulator is basically perfect,
but its just not like having the real thing sitting there (I trust you have
got the real thing as the rom is still copyrighted and hence the emulator is
only legal to those with a sam). Dont have the floppies problem with
Sorry, the roms have been given permission to be distributed with the
emulator although the rights still remain with Dr A.Wright.

Yer, forgot about that - your reply bet mine :)

I made it freely available many years ago anyway, along with the source

I know the need for a bigger house, im not single so my wife nags me about
the number of old computers. Ive got Amigas, Sts (with mono monitor - that
was hard to find), just about all the spectrums ever made, c64, PCs,
megadrives, N64's, Snes, 2600's etc.etc.etc.
But my Sam is still my favourite
The overwhelming advantage of emualation for me is that I can have my
spectrum, my Sam, my ST, my Amiga, my BBC and Archimedes, all of which
I've owned at some point in time (although the Amiga and the ST were
sold on) without needing the space or the acres worth of
floppies/tapes.

You could always get a smaller / more tolerant wife. :-)
Well said Howard.
This two month deadline is a good idea. I'm sure it will just illustrate my
original point (before I got shouted down) that nobody really cares about
software copyrights for a dead machine.
Unless they want to sell of course.
