I think I tried that, and it did not show the F1/F2 start screen. Just a quick flash of the RAM test pattern.XorA wrote:Its controlled by FAST_STARTUP = 1 in the .uqlxrc file.Martin_Head wrote: On another point, When UQLX starts.

The manual states "Set to 1 if you want to skip the usual RAM test (default), or set it to 0 if you want to enjoy the Ram test pattern"

Ah I forgot it pushes the F1/F2 key automatically, but its a compile time option. So its not actually skipped, just too fast for you to see.Martin_Head wrote:I think I tried that, and it did not show the F1/F2 start screen.

I'm not sure why you would want to use TV mode in uqlx - That doesn't make much sense to me, as the reason, the small screen and some characters lost on the left doesn't really apply here.
The ROMs are not patched, to my knowledge, but rather an F1 key press is simulated after starting the emulator.

Re: Ubuntu 14.04.4 and uqlx2017
Hi,
I downloaded the UQLX2017 source file from QL Homepage:
http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/emu/uqlx-fork-master.zip
There is no uqlx.html file in the docs dirctory, whereas on github the file is there. why the difference, as the missing doc file gives import information with regards to UQLX.
A question about UQLX, if F1 is automatically keyed by the emulator, how do I initialise the Second Screen, which is F3 or F4.

That's simple. It's not implemented.Derek_Stewart wrote: A question about UQLX, if F1 is automatically keyed by the emulator, how do I initialise the Second Screen, which is F3 or F4.

I did not realise that the second screen was not implemented.
How hard would it be to implement the second screen.?
Can the F1/F2 prompt screen be available as a command line option or definable in the .uqlxrc file?

It's no big deal, Like Derek Stewart, I wondered about Minerva's second screen support.tofro wrote:I'm not sure why you would want to use TV mode in uqlx - That doesn't make much sense to me, as the reason, the small screen and some characters lost on the left doesn't really apply here.

Both are about 30 mins work for someone. They are simple changes to the code.Derek_Stewart wrote:Hi,tofro wrote:That's simple. It's not implemented.Derek_Stewart wrote: A question about UQLX, if F1 is automatically keyed by the emulator, how do I initialise the Second Screen, which is F3 or F4.

Not knowing the first thing about uQLx and being afraid of breaking the archive or something, what I've done is to add the uqlx.html as a separate file just after the uQLx 2017 sources on the Emulators page. Hope this helps.
