Hi Sam Users! You probably know Roger Jowett’s “skull” video from youtube. Now you can play that video directly in virtual Sam Coupe. I created a player in Sam Basic (thanks a lot to Andrew Collier!). The trick is that ASCD has tape emulation in Sam Coupe mode and it loads the tape in almost zero-time, so it can be used to play videos. ;-) It would be possible on a real Sam if we managed to load files in extreme high speed. ;-)
The mode 4 video player is here: http://www.keprt.cz/progs/ascd/videotape.tap The skull video is here: http://www.keprt.cz/progs/ascd/skull.tap The tape video file is only 3 MB (it’s .GZ compressed, and you can directly load it to ASCD in this compressed form). (File format is a regular TAP, as used in ZX Spectrum emulators. :-)) ----------------------------------------- Mgr.
