Re: EMT4WIN for Windows

Incidentally, I've tried making images on a real QL and it seems to have a problem with line 1100 of the MakeImage_bas file (part of FDI). The line is: 1100 LOCal a$,s$,d$,fileName$,tracks,sides,sectPerTrack Syntax problem, I suspect there may be an easy fix? Edit: hang on, perhaps I need to LRESPR...

Re: Fleet tactical command

I did some patching of the demo version for QPC2, here http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/games/index.html There is also a user manual for the game.

You can also use solder flux like https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/solder-flux/1462856/ instead of fresh solder, to get the old joints moving.

Re: Boot Q68 without monitor and keyboard

If you've got an old keyboard you don't care about. Rip it apart, and just plug the bare electronics board in. You don't need the actual keys.

Re: How to use a mdv image to get the real files

There was some patching done to the Josiah game in this thread. https://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2700&hilit=josiah You have to watch out with _mdv images, they may be Qlay format files, or they may be the different Qemulator _mdv format file. The CONVERT2MDI command takes that into ...
