The Sinclair QL Forum

PiStorm might have quite a bit more relevance on the Amiga that brings a lot of custom chipware that's so deeply embedded in the system that you will definitely want to preserve so it still stays "an Amiga". The QL, well not so much. I think that is the essential difference. Also the Amig...

Stupid question, but how is an emulated processor on a real QL going to be better than an emulated processor in sQLux or similar? Since the emulated Io is superior to genuine IO in every way, couldn't we just make a QL-fitting carrier board for a CM4 for the QL case? Had a similar thought: Effectiv...

Please keep us updated. But remember PiStorm ist not PiStorm. We need to look at the EMU68 emulation, Musashi is too slow.

Good luck with the display... they seem to use varying panels.
By the way, I noticed the QL-typical white/red transitions looked sharper from VGA signal than from HDMI.

Buffee is some super vapourware, its been going a decade and no-one has seen anything! Thanks for speaking more frankly than me. ;) Apollo core AFAIK does not implement TAS instruction, and I think QL software was apparently fond of that instruction! Thanks for the info. And that's most likely not ...

Thanks. I looked into that years ago. Debugging for QL purposes would require an unknown amout of paid support. Like PiStorm, nobody seems to have tested it with QDOS Classic on Amiga, so it's unknown if it can execute demanding QL code correctly.

If you are fortunate enough to have an old flat screen monitor with a 1024x768 resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio you are OK I bought mine brandnew.

Any hint what you mean? I don't speak french and automatic translation also didn't make me much wiser.

While I dont claim to understand all the ins and out of the matter (Im sure there are plenty here who can disabuse me), to me the Buffee sounds like the more interesting prospect as its aim is to be a CPU emulator, untied to any specific platform like Amiga or ST. The apporach sounds nice, but I ha...
