PSPSIM: A SamCoupé Emulator for PSP v1.0.2 (full speed)

[mr_nick666]

Does this offer decent ZX81 compatibility ?

Fraid not! SAM coupe only! (unless youre running the Spectrum emulator for SAM!)

Put in several hours playtesting the new version! Wicked! Speed increase great


Are you going to have savestates in a future version (if there is more to come??)?? (This would be cool for POP and the Manic Miner (extra levels) for a start!)
If there are future versions would you like some graphics for a splash screen and a menu background??
I'll put some keyboard configs up soon too!

This feature is not present in the original version. I've tried to develop a save state stuff on this emu, but unfortunatelly nothing has been done properly to do this easily ... so after loosing many hours, i give up

Just noticed over at simcoupe.org that there was an update on July 21st.

Is there anything worth adding to the PSP version?
