Trivia
Work on SimCoupe was started back in 1996 by Allan Skillman as a Linux-based project called XCoupe.
XCoupe was written originally ‘hacked in’ in C++ and then re-written in ANSI C. This version was then extended into a Win32 port by Simon Owen called WinCoupe.
Simon took over the project and re-wrote the entire program merging the WinCoupe features back into SimCoupe and adding a plethora of extra ones including Dave Hooper’s native SAA1099 Sound support, floppy disc and ATOM support.
