Blaze the Jupiter Ace Emulator
as a SAM Coupè disk image  [104 kb zip]
   Blaze is the result of an email from me to Edwin Blink, asking if it was possible to make a Jupiter Ace Emulator to run on my SAM Coupè. The SAM use a faster Z80B cpu, the Aces is a standard Z80 cpu. Edwin then came up with Blaze and it will run on a SAM Coupè 256 or 512, with SamDos, MasterDos, or Bdos. It will also run on the Sam Coupe Emulator, Sim Coupè.

   To run the Blaze on a SAM you will have to write the disk image to a 3.5 floppy disk. Best done by using Simon Owen`s Samdisk V2 util, which runs with Windows XP.


    When running Blaze on a SAM you the following options:
  • ESC - Exits the emulator. Drops you into SAM BASIC.
  • RUN - to resume.
  • TAB - Shows a Jupiter Ace keyoard layout on screen, see screenshot below.
  • F9 - Reset, same as 0 call from the Ace.
  • F8 - Re-load a snapshot.
  • F7 - Load a snapshot.
  • - Save a snapshot, not finnished yet.


Blaze Start screen on SAM.


TAB key pressed on SAM brings up the Jupiter Ace keyboard layout up.
