I'm having very similar problems to you with Simcoupe, here's a bit more info for you Alan if its any use. I cant get the binary version to run under Win95, it too cant find the vid card, i've a Diamond Stealth 3D3000, but it finds it in DOS. I also get the problem of repeating keys, but not usually 'z', most of the time it's ' " ' or the Enter key, very strange keyboard responce, not repeatable the errors, but happen quite a lot, maybe its to do with timing of the keyscans?? Even the GUI had the repeat key problem, ie when typing in the filter section for the filename. I thought about recompiling it on my machine, when i get around to instaling my C++ package again that is....if i can remember how to use it! There's also a bug in the GUI, when selecting a file: On first display of the path to chose a disk file, the last char of the path is '/' instead of the DOS '\' ie 'c:\simcoupe/bin' although it still accepts this. Also the directory jumping using '..' to go to previous directory, then going back into the same directory leaves an extra '\' cahr at the end ot the path, and this stops you going back up to the lower directory, until you manually delete the extra slash, ie first time, 'c:\simcoupe\bin' then, 'c:\simcoupe\\bin' then 'c:\simcoupe\\\bin' the extra slashes stop you going to the root directory, from 'c:\simcoupe\\'. this is the log file Alan to show what i mean with the backward slash in file names. ------------------------------------ SimCoupe: information: Found 640x480 SVGA mode, testing for linear addressing SimCoupe: information: Linear addressing not available - using paging SimCoupe: warning: Can't initialise mouse SimCoupe: information: insert_disk(): SAM type image : Disk1.dsk SimCoupe: information: insert_disk(): SAM type image : Disk2.dsk SimCoupe: information: LineFreq : 384 tstates SimCoupe: information: IntActiveTime : 240 tstates SimCoupe: information: MouseStrobeTime : 600 tstates SimCoupe: information: insert_disk(): SAM type image : c:\simcoupe/bin\samc.dsk SimCoupe: information: insert_disk(): SAM type image : c:\simcoupe/bin\blank.dsk ------------------------------------ I need to do more testing so catch you all soon... -- Dean Liversidge From owner-sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Tue Sep 9 13:48:44 1997 Date: Tue, 9 Sep 1997 13:26:38 +0100 From: D.M.Zambonini@cs.cf.ac.uk (D M Zambonini) Message-Id: <199709091226.NAA10443@aron.cs.cf.ac.uk> To: sam-users@nvg.unit.no Subject: .SBT to .DSK Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-MD5: wyKJ6h+6OhMxdCdYajsrYA== X-Orcpt: rfc822;sam-users@nvg.unit.no Reply-To: sam-users@nvg.unit.no Status: RO Content-Length: 560 Lines: 19 Hi... remember me?

Added to the fact that Andy Wright gave permission for the ROMs to be included with SimCoupe... I forgot what a minefield the whole "who owns what of the Sam" was. I imagine they would appreciate _any_ useful people to contact, since they seem to be fairly responsible about what they are trying to do, so if anyone can think of other people worth pointing them at, feel free to suggest them...

The speed of the emulation is *much* faster on my 166 - is there a quick 'n' easy way to find out what it's clocking, or even a way to get it to emulate at the exact speed? Also, is there a way to set some of the 'internal' settings, such as activate mouse and 2x2 scaling mode on startup? A config file would be nice for this as is saves having a huge "-mouse microsoft -fd1 d:\simcoupe\ban_games.dsk -externalMem 4" string in my shortcut :) SimCoupe - The Dogs Bollocks since 1996 :) Dan.

Excellent - it works! :) One thing I did forget to mention was that it doesn't seem to be scanning my mouse properly - the pointer comes up, so I assume it detects it, but no movement is passed on.

Blimey! Someone remembers it *grins* Well, the designs and layouts are finished, some articles are ready, and the whole thing is sitting on my hard drive at home. I haven't released the mag (YET!) because I've had one or two other ideas, which I can't actually mention at the moment, mainly cos of the stupid arguments a certain idiot on the list decided to cause when I first mentioned Sam World. I can tell you though that I'm writing some stuff for Blitz at the moment. > In fact, I think I should really subscribe to at least something now I've > settled into Watford. What's the best one/two? Probably still Fred as its fairly regular - Blitz is good if you can stand its irregularity (I'm just being honest!) - Sam Supplement is a great disk mag, although again its very irregular. I've mentioned 3 disk mags, because, to be honest, most of the Sam paper mags left now suck big time. > I also should start spending soe of my new found money on some games for my > SAM, I suppose there is a list somewhere..

Colony from Fred sounds great but I haven't seen it yet (cheque's in the post) and Stratosphere from Quazar is going to be very special.

I cant get it to run on NT4 tho', it displays the welcome message, but wont do anything from there, it doesnt give any errors or clear the display. I have to ALT+ENTER to switch from full screen to see the command prompt again. ? Any way, top job, looking good, i now need to remember how to use the SAM, and then convert all my disks into .DSK files and play around again. I still think that the GUI could do with a little inmprovement, but i assume that it's not complete since i dont get anything from the Options or Disk Dir. The GUI also wont let you move from one box to another using the keyboard if the mouse pointer is focused on one of the boxes. How about using the TAB key to swap boxes, the cursors key a bit confusing having to go left to get out of edit mode into move mode, or whatever it is. And you cant select a file from the list with the mouse, you can only select the box, and then need the cursors to select the file. These are probably on the 'to-do' list so, as you were.... ;-) -- Dean Liversidge From owner-sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Sun Sep 14 00:33:30 1997 Message-Id: <199709132331.AAA31094@irwell.zetnet.co.uk> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: Paul Walker To: sam-users@nvg.unit.no Date: Sun, 14 Sep 1997 00:29:48 +0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: Re: SimCoupe References: <199709130053.BAA19839@irwell.zetnet.co.uk> In-reply-to: <874170029.1029256.0@error.demon.co.uk> X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.54) X-Orcpt: rfc822;sam-users@nvg.unit.no Reply-To: sam-users@nvg.unit.no Status: RO Content-Length: 574 Lines: 21 > I now need to write some disk utility software for the PC to create > and modify SImCoupe disk images.

I've had a (little used) program for reading/writiing plus-d/disciple/sam disks on the pc for about 7 years now.
