Re: resize 14 crt tv for QL (f2 function) hack

Increasing the EHT will make the picture smaller, as the scanning coils will have less time to move the electron beams side to side, and up and down. Also for anyone who's thinking about trying it. There's is a lot more than 250 volts lurking around there, more like 25,000 volts. Even when switched ...

Re: ql superbomber and m-crunch ..and more things

Here's a patched version the the game, without copy protection, and it should work OK from a directory. (A bit hard to test, as I can't do directories in Qemulator, and the game does not like QPC2 very much) Edit the path$ in line 100 of the boot program to where the files are stored. The high score...

MDI/FDI driver updates

There are now some updates to the MDI and FDI device drivers. I have sent them to Dilwyn Jones, so they should soon be available there. I tried to attach them here, But I had problems getting the Forum software to accept them. I don't know what was going wrong. MDI version 1.08 FDI1 version 1.06 FDI...

Re: ql superbomber and m-crunch ..and more things

if i copy the files in the win1_ and win_use mdv then lrun mdv1_boot.... the QL (minerva and the jm) restarts .. The win1_ medium name would need to be 'J Oobadiah' If I remember correctly, If the medium name is wrong, it resets the system. so it must be win1_j Oobiadiah_ the folder? No you would h...

Re: ql superbomber and m-crunch ..and more things

Hi, To use the MDV file with MDI needs to be converted using the MDICONVERT2_BAS programme supplied with MDI v1.07. There are machine code conversion commands built into the driver, so you don't need the MDICONVERT2_BAS program. The only hard bit of the process is recognising the different MDV imag...

Re: ql superbomber and m-crunch ..and more things

I started to have a look inside the Josiah Oobadiah game to see if it looks like it overwrites anything it should not. From what I have seen so far, it does not. It checks the medium name of the device it loads from. (So making it run from a hard drive might be a problem) It then allocates about 74K...
