SAM Videos on YouTube

posted by TecSoft

Nick Humphries sorted out an audiovideo-capture setup combined with SimCoupe to produce a set of videos which are the highlights of his memories of being a SAM user from the (almost) very start, right up to SAMCo going under.

You can find the YouTube Playlist at YouTube.

There should be something for everyone there.

New Demo for SAM Coupé

posted by TecSoft

newdemosam David Brant released the demo that he did a while ago. It's based on Colin Piggot's Fido demo. But uses external memory for extra speed and 1 pixel scroll. It was going to be in his mag but don't think it's going to happen.

He wrote it to show how to get the most from JAM Assembler. It works with only internal memory as well.

Spiffy 0.6.7 Released

posted by TecSoft

Spiffy is 48k Spectrum emulator, for Linux.

Improvements in 0.6.7:
- Significantly improves audio handling - hopefully no more skipping and glitching.
- Also, the drainpipe-O-matic audio is less filtered now.
- A graphics glitch on 64-bit machines was fixed.

Since GitHub have stopped allowing binary package uploads, the prebuilt binaries are now hosted on the Spiffy page. Official WOS thread is here.
