Re: ql+ prototype rebuild ? possible

Hi,

Why not run sQ68Lay on the RPI, you will have to compile the emulator, but XorA has made the compilation really easy.

Re: QubATA without burning ROM?

Re: ql+ prototype rebuild ? possible

Hi,

If you load in JAVA SMSQmulator can run.

sQLux runs quite well on a Pi4, But needs SDL2 development libraries to compile it.

I have just aquired a cheap Pi400 and this all work great.

Re: ql+ prototype rebuild ? possible

Hi,

You try:
https://codeberg.org/xelalexv/spectratur

Which allow a QL to use a PS/2 or USB keyboard.

Also look at thread:
viewtopic.php?t=4012

But I am not sure this is what you want.

Tynemouth Software did a QL USB keyboard interface

Re: SMSQ/2 on Atari

I do not the make up of the SMS2 Cartridge, but I was told there was some custom electronics in the cartridge. I have some " Pure Cartridges" with SMSQ/EVLevel E Driver code, which boots into standard Atari Cartridge drive. SMSQ/E will start the Atari in a QL mode in Atari mono Hi Rez mode...

Re: SMSQ/2 on Atari

Hi, Here is an Atari ST Cartridge that I have been given back, that connects to the Cartridge port of an Atari ST and boots into SMS2. The 17" TFT VGA monitor uses a ST to VGA adapter sold by Cool Novities. The Atari boots in to Mono high resolution mode: IMG_20240325_143730398.jpg IMG_20240325...

Re: Q-Liberator 3.46

Hi

I think you miss the point. I agree with the fact that Toolkit 2 is a necessity and should also be loaded all the time.

Re: Q-Liberator 3.46

Hi, I do not need to test for Toolkit 2, as I know what is installed on the machine. Surely, for compatibility, the presence of Toolkit 2 can be ignored. I am not sure that using ENV is a good idea, as many users may not know how to use it. What are the Qliberator environmental variables? How does t...

Re: Q40/Q60

There is a problem with the Q60 VGA video output, which does not give a clear video output in 1024x512 HiColour mode, on a modern LCD monitor This is such a tragedy.
