I'd gladly give it a go if you want.l At some point I started rewriting the benchmark and never completed that, but I've found a an old copy (from 2011!): http://www.terdina.net/ql/soft/benchmark.zip At QL speed, it should run for 20+ minutes (dots in channel #0 show progress), then spit cryptic nu...

This is not true anymore, somebody implemented an open source scaler so there are no more commercial IP blocks. But you need the I/O board for the SD-card slot (or maybe a smaller SD-card only board if that exists). Good to know! I've implemented the DRAM simulation the way Nasta described it here ...

Good job! I was thinking about the same these days... glad I don't have to even be tempted since it's already done! :) I'll probably end up getting a Mister some day to play with it and learn some FPGA rudiments, but every time I'm ready to buy I'm turned off by the price of the pre-built IO boards ...

Curious about implementation: do you convert and output the pixels as they come in, or rather store the frame in memory?

I had some machine code to do RLE compression, I'll look for it. It should be easy to further optimize it for B&W images.

Having received a number of requests for a 64 bit version, I might reconsider. I decided to buy a new (used) Mac for the port and have been working on it for three weeks now. It's only partially working so far, so no promises. The issue remains that I don't currently use a Mac other than for develop...

Depends on your goals. If you want to maximize the number of people who try and play your game, a free download here and on Dilwyn's QL software page sounds like the way to go.

Try DeoxIT?

Another common issue that usually manifests itself with "access denied" errors is an antivirus locking the drive.

Hi Andrew,

what was win2_ mapped to? (QXL.WIN, Windows folder, etc.)?
