The Sinclair QL Forum

I didn't have much luck trying that, just a screen full of random pixels?

It all depends - how did you create the SCR file?

Using that bmp2scr program

Ah - but then if you are trying to display the screen on an emulator ....

Did you have the emulator in QL screen mode (512x256 8 colours) - otherwise it may not work as the screen is not 128 bytes wide which is what a _scr format file expects.

Now I am sure there is a program for displaying scr format files in higher resolutions.... (a SuperBASIC program would be fairly easy to write under SMSQ/e).

I tried it in monitor and tv on an emulator but I havn't tried it on my QL yet. I don't access to resolutions and colours higher than those two

OK - very odd - email me the _scr file and I will have a look at here...

I'll pop it on here, see what you can make of it.

Odd - it is bigger than 32K !! Was the original bmp 512x256 pixels?

I don't think so but there was no help file with the program either, shall I resize the image and try again?

I think to resize it makes a lot of sense. I tried to load your picture into Q-emulator on my Mac but only got random flashing pixels.
