WinCoupe 0.80 Frequently Asked Questions
----------------------------------------

Q) What's missing in this test version?

A) Lots of things probably, but certainly:

- Disk saving support (the image in memory is correctly updated)
- Saving of options between sessions
- Extra disk handling for creating new disks, etc.
- Contended instruction timing for main screen area
- ATOM disk interface
- Support for non-UK keyboards
- Possibly a fancier UI (tho one that's still useful in 320x240!)
- 1001 other small details!

Q) What sound latency value should I use?

A) The latency is the amount of sound buffering needed to keep the sound emulation running smoothly.  Larger values are needed for slower CPUs, ISA sound cards and when the DirectSound implementation isn't very good (as seems to be the case for  NT4!).   The larger the value, the more lag between a sound being produced and it being heard, which isn't too good for games!

To find the best value for your system enter the following in SAM BASIC to produce a pure note:

SOUND 28,1;20,63;16,3;0,255

Try different latency values to find the lowest latency value that maintains a pure note - if the value is too low you'll hear clicks and/or strange echoey effects.

On my system I found I could use a value of 1 under Win98, 2 under Windows 2000 RC2, but had to use 20 under Windows NT4!
