The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi,

looks fine, not used yad before. I will give it a go...

I was looking to do something in SDL2 so that there would some sort of compatibilty,

Hello
fund a typo
now it works

Markus

Anyone who writes a frontend for sQLux that works on all platforms gets their moment of fame as a reward as Ill add it to the repo and the binary releases

Extended Version for Linux
dependencies : bash,yad
restrictions :
MDV1/2 point to directories
FLP1/2 point to FLP.img files
WIN1/2 point to .win containers
WIN7/8 point to native directories
the actual sqlux.ini is /sQLux/sqlux.ini
important !
you have to rename the existing sqlux.ini
there will be a test.txt file in your home directory
execute with :
bash sg.sh

Hope it helps
Markus

Have you tried my version?

That looks nice.

I've just done some testing under Windows 10 and raised some issues on github.

sQLux now also supports Spanish (ES) keyboard.

Hi,
Thinking for programing about uqlx, ZEsarUX...
By now my introductory to QL programing has been only SuperBasic with QEmulator. But I would like something more flexible to run directly from my linux and being able to emulate Microdrives and some ports (expansion port and external ROM port if it were possible to supervise the virtualized signals there).

Please, may I get suggestions and pros/cons of each one?

Thank you lot

I don't think one of the more popular QL emulators will support the ports exactly.

If you want to do that, it might be worth having a look at MAME - It has a QL emulation and If I remember right, I think you can write "emulated interface cards" as plugins for it. But beware: MAME is a monster.

Thank you tofro,
I am afraid Mame is too big brother for me.
I have been checking a little few minutes ago ZEsarux 12 and my first impression is awful. Not usable at all for QL.
My intention is to start to develop some little expansion cards, and would like to understand or learn how to check out when put a ADDR line or data in high check out how the expansion port activate it.
I guess it is just because my lack of experience in this field, and I don't know how better program something controling the signals.

I will take it back after gaining some basis experience compiling now in C for QL.
With ZX I remember my friends programing using Fuse, pretty easy, coding, compiling lauching it. But for QL ... no idea
