Great stuff - now have issues with no existent paths, so it's reading the ini file correctly. I'll get those sorted over the weekend (should be working right now!)

Many thanks for your help

Success!

I have a few more questions if you do not mind XorA:

1. How d I set the display to be 2x default (is that possible?)
2. Is there a way to swap mdv images while the emulator is running?
3. Just checking I have the latest version, as the runtime output says the version is 2018? I downloaded the source code from github - I assume latest is there?

Thanks again,
JY

I also now have SMSQmulator (Java 11 version) running. Very, very nice indeed.

1. At the moment the window is dynamically resized I took out the zoom option as it was interfering with hidpi displays.
2. No
3. Yes, I’ll update that when I actually have it release ready.

Hi,

Apologies, not my thread, but following discussion..

Wishing to catch up with recent sQLux development, thanks Graemme!
Realised needed two packages

Code: Select all

libsdl2-dev
libsld2-net-dev

I cannot run sQLux using existing config ~/.uqlxrc nor local sqlux.ini
While `uQLx' [uqlx-fork] picks it and runs normally.

Something not up to standard here, possibly.
S-O-S, many thanks.

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:/usr/src/sQLux/build $ Using Config: ~/.uqlxrc
*** QL Emulator v0.50 ***
release 2018-10-28

Warning: could not find ROM image : No such file or directory
 - rom name /usr/local/lib/uqlx/romdir/tk2_ext 
Could not find expansion rom, exiting

Can you post the uqlxrc too?

Here we go...

FAST_START = 1
KEY_ON = 0
#XKEY_ON = 1
DO_GRAB = 1
PRINT = lpr
CPU_HOG = 0
#XKEY_ALT = Mode_switch   # use this to have AltGr as QDOS altkey
DEVICE = MDV1,/home/pi/mdv1/,qdos-like
DEVICE = MDV2,/home/pi/mdv2/,qdos-like
DEVICE = WIN1,/home/pi/,qdos-like

#DEVICE = FLP1,/dev/fd0,qdos-fs

So I took out the load address on sQLux as it never worked on uQlx anyway.

Why it’s not printing that as part of the rom name is puzzling me. I’ll have to check later when on a computer.

Ah, actually removing the load address, did it!
Works.
Thanks
