zx-81 has released a SAM Coupe emulator for the PSP! It's based off the SimCoupe emulator for the PC, and while some work still needs to be done regarding speed, save states and so on, it works surprisingly well.Most people probably don't know the SAM Coupe home computer - that's not surprising, as it was a commercial failure which brought it's manufacturer, Miles Gordon Technology, to bankruptcy. Perhaps the SAM Coupe will now get a piece of the popularity it would have deserved as it was a really cool little machine. First released in 1989, it was a 8-bit computer and while being very advanced for that, 16-bit technology was about to be introduced to the mass market. It didn't help either that very few software houses supported the SAM Coupe's development proved to be rather difficult.
Nonetheless, the SAM Coupe software library included lots of disk magazines, as well as ports of popular games like Klax, Lemmings, and Prince Of Persia. And as with many home computers, a tight-knit community exists around the SAM Coupe still today. So there is really some fun to be had with PSPSIM - versions for both FW 1.5 and 2.5 (using Fanjita's eLoader) are provided.
