Hi Marcel,

In the main Sbasic.

Edit: I think I've found the problem. We'll find out tomorrow...

This is the first time I have ever attempted an sbasic extension, so I am rather chuffed that it works. There's still a bit of debugging to do before I am sure that it won't brick the system :( It's a good feeling isn't it? Well done. If you are on pre-JS, I think, extensions don't work after loadi...

Hi all, I finally have a working sbasic extension function :) :) It takes an sbasic name as a parameter, and returns the value of the last four bytes of the name table entry for that name, which, in the case of an sbasic extension, is the address of the function itself. It returns them as a hex stri...

Hi Derek, The most basic Mister system is a bare DE10-nano. Several cores will run just on this with no add-ons. The first addition that may be required is an SDRAM board. I am not sure if this is mandatory for the QL core or not (I'm sure Marcel can answer this). Other than this you will definitely...

Anyway, I move this to a more appropriate thread.

Apologies for taking the thread off at a tangent - that was not my intention.

Thanks. I'll take another look at it. Maybe my Q68 can join the party after all.

Now, that's not a fair claim to make. Exchange "Mister" and "Q68", and you get the same limitation. QPC2 and Q-Emulator can mount all possible FAT file system types (because their host OS can), MISTer can use FAT16 (does anyone still use that?), Q68 FAT32. Whether something work...

I am not sure what you mean here, the WIN files or QWA container file is the same QWA file I use on QPC2 and SMSQmulator. Hi Derek, What I meant was that you can't just take an SD card containing a .WIN file from QPC or the Mister, and mount the file on the Q68. In the other direction (mounting a Q...

The Spectrum Next will only have Minerva based QL resolution QL core, unless someone ports SMSQ/E to it. Which might make it a better machine to have. Assuming this is even possible, this might be a worthy development project for the future hardware QL. The Spectrum Next will eventually have at lea...
