The Sinclair QL Forum

I just used the blank floppy image that was uploaded here: http://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1479&start=30#p13863 Took the blank disk image into Q Emulator on one drive, the ZIP file on the other, did the command to copy the files from the ZIP file to the floppy disk image (close qemu...

Using a standard HD Gotek with 3 digit display with HxC firmware loaded with no problems and not much more expensive than a bog standard gotek without the firmware loaded nowdays with plenty of people selling them with the firmware already on them for Amiga, Atari and Amstrad - at the time it was c...

Are you using a Gotek drive or the HxC floppy emulator which is more expensive than the cheaper Gotek clones? I didn't think the Gotek drive worked with DD disk images - certainly I have a flopper interface here which doesn't work with a Trump Card. If the Gotek works, then yes, the market for disk...

The fact that you have not heard of some of these games just goes to show what a poor state software preservation and games information is in for this system.

Yes the files are there: backup Boot boot1 hopper pic This question is not about buying a working copy of this, but I have obtained over 100 QL game files, quite illegally, although I believe your stance on the copyright issue is somewhat just personal due to risk of being personally sued (very unli...
