Still great work! Amazing!

Tobias, are you using the Aurora graphics mode?
Any chance to use 16 bit high colour pictures instead?

Is it possible to fit a Q68 in a original QL case? There were at least two QL matrix keyboard adaptor projects, if one of them finishes, yes. As you see below, I designed the board dimension exactly for the QL extension space. Some tinkering would be needed for power supply etc. Q68InsideQL.jpg The...

Wooow Tobias! This is absolutely amazing! Can't wait to try!

Today I booted my Sinclair QL for the 1st time. Wohoo! :D Thank you for sharing this moment! It will be interesting if you now get tempted to walk the "upgrade route" like most of us. And, if yes, which route. ;) On one hand a Q68 solves the usual QL limitations (memory, speed, mass stora...

At that speed it might just work on a stock QL, which seems to be about 1/6th the speed of the SGC. At 25 fps, that demo seems to require 35% (loading) + 17% (decompression+playback) = 52% of SGC resources as a rough estimate. So the QL would have to be 1/2 the speed of the SGC, not 1/6. Or the dem...

In this issue there is an article by Tobias on the Q68, [...] Almost missed this interesting read. Very nice, thank you Tobias and Norman! As for the loop unrolling: If a few percent of performance don't matter, one might not unroll 256 instructions, but 64 for example, spending 75% less memory. Ha...

What about the feasibility with a (not emulated) QL? I think also the sound would be a big problem... It's surely feasible on Q40, Q60 and Q68. In the most simple case, one would just write a program which copies uncompressed MODE 4 screens and sampled sound data from SD card. For <= 30 fps that is...

Or maybe Dave's issue 8 board, when the weather in Texas cools down? I keep watching the forecast
