Background:
The SAM Coupé is an 8-bit British home computer that was first released in
late 1989. It is commonly considered a clone of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum
computer, since it features a compatible screen mode and emulated
compatibility, and it was marketed as a logical upgrade from the Spectrum.
Six channel, 8 octave stereo sound is provided by a Philips SAA 1099 chip.
Purpose:
The purpose of this library is to replay SAM Coupé song files (these
generally have the extension .sng or .cop). This is achieved by the use of
a Z80 CPU emulator coupled to a SAA1099 audio chip emulator, with some RAM
thrown in. The Z80 replayer routine is either included with the song
files, or the E-Tracker replayer is used (this is stored in the library
itself).
It is intended that this library is used to develop input plugins for
multi-format media players. However, a simple SDL test player (scplay) is
included for reference and to test playback.
Usage:
For the command-line player (if installed and in the path), simply:
scplay <filename>
