sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)

None of my testers found any major problems so I released v1.0 of sQLux on the world.
Obviously a lot of the heavy lifting is from uQLx, so don't forget about the authors of that!

Just in time for Christmas! Thanks, something to play with when the "rellies" have finally gone home!
Cheers,
Norm.

Hi,
I downloaded and compiled the new version of sQLux, which compiled with no warnings, which is good.
I copied the new compiled sqlux binary from the compiled directory to the working dirctory: ~/sQLux/
and executed this command line:
Code: Select all
derek@lp1:~/sQLux$ /home/derek/sQLux/sqlux -d 'win1' -b 'lrun win1_boot' -g 1024X768 -f ~/sQLux/sqlux.ini
/home/derek/sQLux/sqlux: invalid option -- 'd'
/home/derek/sQLux/sqlux: invalid option -- 'b'
/home/derek/sQLux/sqlux: invalid option -- 'g'
-d BOOT_DEV must be 4 chars
Bad geometry: -f. Please use 'nXm' where n=x size, m=y size
*** sQLux release -(2021-12-24)
Patching Boot Device mdv1 at 0x4be6
Video Driver x11 xres 1920 yres 1080
This command line worked on the previous version of sQLux, but not the new version.

I think i found the cause of the bug.
Just FYI if you specify -d ‘win1’ the -b is superfluous as js/minerva rom will load the boot file and run it automatically.

It's a little tricky as the bug doesn't show up on my MacOS machine or Ubuntu 21.10 machine.
Hopefully the bugfix in v1.0.1 fixes it.

And now I find my own bug, lbytes command does not work from an emulated drive. (Works fine from .img or .win files).

Prepare yourself for some stupid questions after Christmas dinner and half a bottle of wine, no NOLO here. What is sQlx? What is wrong with uQlx? is it for Linux?

sQLux is an SDL2 based emulator based on uQLx.
Nothing wrong with uQLx, if your happy using it keep using it. But it hasn’t had an official release for decades. And people were finding it hard to build and run on modern systems.
sQLux runs on macOS, Linux and windows currently.
