Hi! Nice effort. I am going to release a new version of my SAA player for PC, and I am definitely add this tune to the collection, if that’s OK.
I’d like to know why do you use Amstrad CPC file format, instead of a standard Sam Coupe one (DSK/MGT or SAD). I tried to extract your music file to let me play it in SAA player on PC, but the file extractor obviously cannot read this kind of disk image. I think we should stick to standard file formats whenever possible to let all those old file utilities work. Also, does anybody have source code of ETracker player? The debugger shows warnings that the code repeatedly reads from address 0x0400, this applies to this particular tune and also many other I tried. Maybe it uses Sam-ROM just to get some “random” values, but I’d like to look at the source code. I know the source code was somewhere published, but I can’t remember where it was. Also, is ETracker the only commonly used music editor for Sam Coupe? I know also Pro Tracker, and some people said that it is probably better than ETracked, but I don’t know of any music written in it – it seems to me that all the people use just ETracker.

I believe the effect at around 2:00 has never been done before on the Coupé! A first time for everything even on the Sam eh? So, why did I spend my morning writing this? Your guess is as good as mine, but I reckon someone now ought to make the effort to convert the actual game. Ahem. Cheers David ----------------------------------------- Mgr.
