It uses the MAME core, but instead of adding modules for different arcade games it uses them for different computer systems. It did have SAM support last time I looked at it (last April I think), but it was fairly primitive - it did support line interrupts so the startup screen was correct, but I think the colours were wrong. The MESS screenshots page used to have a SAM boot screen picture on it, but I don't know if the fact that it's been removed means it's been discontinued. I've no idea who was/is behind it, but I did wonder myself (I don't remember seeing any names on the modules). I was tempted to work on MESS for SAM emulation rather than SimCoupé, but I thought some of the SAM-specific requirements to be a bit too awkward to fit into the general architecture, without sacraficing performance. I still think I picked the right one :-) Si
