This from Aley ... looks like he's managed to actually USE my soundchip emulation (I only wrote it ... but didn't have any real way to test the thing!) ... fingers crossed for the Win32 port whenever that comes out.

I've included it in my emulator SAAemu. Can I now release it? Maybe you wowuld like to see (I can send) or send me a new version. The sound is quite well, but onlly 8bit mono works, frequencies 11,22,44kHz. I'd like too see other frequencies (can you support any frequency?). The current (first) version is quite unstable but it plays and you can hear all the effects which are not emulated by my SAAemu.

Re: Fred n' speccy
Andrew Try Bob Wilkinson. He did a very good debugger (excuse the language), called SINGLE STEP, for the Speccy. I'm sure he converted it for the SAM or was it the Amstrad. Ask him anyway, he needs a project. Ah, that's not quite the point - I already have a good sam-hosted single stepper (two good ones in fact... I generally use GI_Mon by Paul Horridge for that sort of thing because I like the GUI, but TurboMon is also good). But these both use part of Sam's memory, and naturally the Sam's CPU can't emulate itself at full speed (closer to 2% speed) But something external to the Sam, that would be different... and it's exactly the sort of thing which could be tacked onto the side of SimCoupe. It would take up almost no extra system resources, it would introduce no compatibilities, and best of all it would have minimal impact on execution speed. But hey, this is all pie in the sky at the moment...

Vital for emulator development, shurely) Not really. The code for xz80 (on which SimCoupé's cpu emulation is based) contains a simple-minded thing for printing out a log of register contents (not even the code being executed), which generates a *lot* of output as the thing runs. If that was not sufficient then debugging the emulator involved using a C-debugger to set breakpoints, examine and set registers, etc. A breakpoint in the Z80 code is set by setting the C variable breakpoint and putting a C breakpoint at the code: if(pc==breakpoint pc) breaks++; /* some code at which to set a breakpoint */ And all this isn't compiled in by default as it slows the emulator down. imc

In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Rob Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Couple of questions to anyone who can answer them... What are Colin McDonald and Colin Anderson of FRED fame up to these days? Can anyone recommend a web site with hints, tips, cheats etc for SAM and SPECCY games?... I have searched and searched for them and all I can find are tips for modern platforms... so much for the dawning of the retro gaming (and er.. cheating) era. I've got a few cheats and maps on my site... But only a few. What are you stuck on? www.duketastrophy.demon.co.uk Graham Goring -- /\ | Ber-Limey!
