SimCoupe

SimCoupe

SimCoupe emulates the SAM Coupé - a British Z80-based home computer released in 1989 by Miles Gordon Technology.

It is also able to function as a Spectrum emulator because the hardware is very similar.

The SAM starts up ready to accept BASIC programs, with software loaded from tape or disk.

This release of SimCoupe was derived from Allan Skillman's SimCoupe 0.72 for DOS and Unix. It has been largely rewritten to improve accuracy and portability.

Features include:

  • SAM's four display modes are fully supported, with updates accurate to a single 8x1 pixel cell
  • Screen disabling is supported
  • Philips SAA 1099 sound chip emulation
  • Parallel port 8-bit mono and stereo DACs (SAMDAC/EDDAC) are present, as also used for sample/MOD playback

  • Use software in the following disk image types: MGT, SAD, SDF, EDSK, TD0, and SBT
  • Emulates 3 SAM hard disk interfaces: Atom, SD-IDE and Yarek.ATMOD.  The Atom is the most commonly used, mainly because Atom's DOS (BDOS) is compatible with the original SAMDOS.  The hard disk is treated as an array of floppy-sized records, giving good compatibility with existing software
  • Supports print-to-file on all platforms, making it easy to export code listings to a plain text file
