HakPak

Introduction

HakPak is small Z80 toolkit for the SAM Coupé, featuring a disassembler and a selection of memory viewing/searching/editing options. It need just a single 16K page to run in, sharing the existing display with BASIC.

As a regular user and fan of the Multiface Genie disassembler on the Spectrum, I chose a similar style for the HakPak menu and status lines. Most actions require just a single keypress, to avoid having to type out commands in full.

Despite the program being rejected by SAM Computers Limited, it was further enhanced and later released as TurboMON.

The disk image can be used directly with SimCoupe, or written to a double-density floppy for use on a real SAM Coupé machine.

The first prototype was developed on the Spectrum, and had a menu even closer to the Multiface style. Here it is showing a ZX BASIC listing, with numbers displayed from the 5-byte internal format in case they didn’t match the ASCII version:
