I've finally found some time to add border support to the Sam Coupe driver. Since I don't really know how big it's supposed to be, it's 32 pixels in each direction now. Here are some screenshots showing border effects:

As you can see in the last picture, the emulation is not perfect. This isn't really specific to the border though, for this to work correctly we need to render partial lines instead of drawing them always at once.

I've added support for the SHRG (Super Hires Graphics) modification to the vtech1 driver. The SHRG allows the Laser to enable the highest graphics mode of the MC6847 – 256×192 with 2 colors. Here are some pictures:

I did some more work on the Epson PX-4 and added support for the external cassette port. Only BASIC supports it. Here are some screenshots of short BASIC programs saving and loading:

The SAM Coupe supports a ZX Spectrum compatible screen mode called “Mode 1”. It wasn't working too well before, after improving it we get this (first old, then new):

There are still some missing features though.

Thanks to micko's fantastic work on cleaning up the floppy interfaces in MESS, it was very easy to add support for the “Extended DiSK” and “MV - CPC” disk image format. This is supposed to be new standard format for the SAM Coupe and supports various copy protection schemes as well. Here are some screenshots of software available in this format on World of Sam.
