Re: SMS2 and STELLA
Any takers for a positive response? I replied, on the other thread I think, that I was interested in Stella and wanted to try it out waaaaay back when I read about it. However, the silence has been deafening since then -- until you mentioned it -- and as Tony has retired to France to live out his d...

Re: Knoware.no
My current one is dark orange with some black lines on, which seems to work ok.

Re: Knoware.no
I had a bad case of wandering mouse a while back. Sometimes it would skip for no reason. Turned out to be my mouse mat! It had an image on it with various colours and lines. When the LED lit up some of those colours, it didn't register and the pointer on screen got lost. When the mouse moved over la...

Re: SMS2 and STELLA
The other problem with SMSQE is that it is of very limited interest to computing enthusiasts outside the QL scene. It is almost impossible to convince people that it is a lot more than a QDOS clone. Left in this state I can only speculate that its use will diminish over time. The user base of QL en...

Re: where is org from 68k asm code?
Sorry, my bad. I meant to type:
if you were assembling a file named ql.asm, what vasm/vlink commands/options would you use?

Dilwyn, some people are complete and utter fuckwits! The slightest thing gets them all riled up, and god help us if they have to stop doing something they want to do.
Puts moderator hat back on.

Re: where is org from 68k asm code?
QL code should always be position independent. Some old games expected things to be in certain places, and were written that way. Memory expansions or floppy interfaces bolloxed those programs. C/Pascal compiled code usually has a startup routine at the front which has a table of all the explicit ad...

Re: Knoware.no
I remember reading, years ago, an article by Tony Tebby about Stella and I was very interested in trying it out. Sadly, that was the last I ever heard of it and as far as I was/am aware it was only ever a "thought experiment" on Tony's part. I assumed that he, at least, would have had a co...

Re: how useful can be cross-compiling from SecondBasic?
and just some more questions: on which cross-assembler should i try it? and to what address should such binary result be loaded? Q1. Sorry, I don't use cross assemblers. I use QMAC for 68008 and GWASS for 68020 assembly directly on the QL. Q2. QL code should be position independent. It should be ab...
