The Sinclair QL Forum

I'm using QemuLator 3.3.1 and attempting without success to get it working in high resolution in 256 colour (Aurora) mode.

I've set the Additional Video Card to Aurora, and configured SMSQ/E to 256 colours and resolutions higher than 512x256.

When the emulator switches to full screen mode (either at startup, or when I press F12), irrespective of resolution configured in SMSQ/E with MenuConfig or set with DISP_SIZE, the emulator sticks rigidly to a 512 pixel width. I've tried GoldCard_bin, GoldCard_256colours_bin and Aurora_bin (all v3.37 binaries downloaded from Wolfgang's site). It switches to MODE 16 fine, just won't change resolution.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Works for me, although just in a weird fullscreen mode that messes up my desktop, I see nothing in window mode. Apart from that, which resolution did you choose? Remember that the aurora can only handle 512x480 in 256 colour mode.

Never knew it was bound by the same resolutions as Aurora. I was tring to use 640x320 and 640x480. Too accustomed to QPC2 way of doing things! Thanks, Marcel
