The Sinclair QL Forum

Have been trying out the SMSQ/E for Q-emuLator in the official QL binaries downloaded from Wolfgang's site.

Seems only to work with the "Q60" video card. Not "Aurora". That's OK - can probably use SMSQ for Aurora for the 8-bit Aurora mode. Not tried it so far. AM using Q-emuLator v3.5.1

There seems to be issues with the Config block. I tried configuring with MenuConfig and ran into the following issues. Thought I'd ask here in case I'm doing something wrong, before I pester Daniele.

1. Configuring the "Initial colour depth" gives a choice of "256" or "QL". Should this be "Q60" or "16-bit" ? 2. Configuring the "Initial display resolution" offers 12 reolutions, but Q-emuLator SMSQ only seems to support Q60-style resolutions of 1024x512, 1024x768 and 512x256. Not sure if that's a limitation of the graphics card on my PC, or if those are the only resolutions supported by the SMSQ.

Hi Dilwyn,

Have you looked at the SMSQ/E section on the Qemulator section:

Yes, that's v3.38, three versions older. Same issues with config block.

Hi Dilwyn, you're right, it's currently using the gold card settings, while I should customize it.

Thank you Daniele. I am updating my SMSQ/E SBASIC manual and wanted to check the facts.

Seems to be a new update for Windows users from a couple of days ago.

It still contains the same SMSQ/e, though. Fixing this will require me to learn about config blocks and send a change to Wolfgang to include in a future version of SMSQ/e.
