Infact I'm Marking some plus D Snap From My Speccy too :-) AND I've All the emulatore too and Speclone seems the most interesting Thanks a lot Kora Sistemi Informatici S.r.l.

Cool. And if you have any of the games on there already, it might be interesting to do a differential comparison of the files — they’ll be mostly the 48k of memory and that’ll be mostly the same, so with some educated guesswork it might be possible to derive the .LRM file format and write a conversion tool between it and .SNA.
