Frequently Asked Questions
Is SimCoupe still being developed?
Yes, but not very actively. There aren't any known compatibility issues with SAM games and demos, and most (non-Quazar) peripherals have already been emulated.
Where can I learn more about the SAM Coupé?
See the Wikipedia entry for technical details, history, etc.
Where can I find software for the emulator?
The NVG FTP archive has a wide range of disk images for use with SimCoupe. The World of Sam archive is steadily replacing it as the source for approved SAM downloads.
Can you recommend any SAM titles to try?
SimCoupe comes with 4 varied sample disks:
- Manic Miner - a 3-level demo, updated from the Spectrum classic
- Defender - a stunning conversion, as fiendishly difficult as the original!
- Tetris - need I say more?
- MNEMOdemo 1 - a great demo to show off SAM's capabilities
Other big name titles on the SAM include Lemmings and Prince of Persia [Demo].
