Hi Martin,

I've not checked the syntax, but I usually do something like this to pad to the nearest 16K...

Hi Steve, The Glad Timings score represents how many times round the main loop are possible in one second. One sprite is moved with each loop count, so a score of 10234.8 is quite impressive. Like Martyn, I also read all your posts with great interest. So many thanks. Your program triggered lots of ...

I have been following Doodle ( https://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=4192 ) by stevepoole with interest and thought that it might be a good idea to mash together a seasonal image, sprites and a speed test. I realise it's of limited use, but here it is... GladTimings.png GladTimings.zip An emulated A...

Hi Steve, Cool. BTW some compatibility mods below. 180 IF c>2 THEN OPEN#c,CON_255: END IF: MODE 8 690 IF c<>1 THEN CURSOR#c,oa,od,-10,0 : ELSE CURSOR oa,od,-10,0 : END IF 950 PAUSE 200:IF c>2 THEN CLOSE#c: END IF: GO TO 100 1000 IF KEYROW(1)=8 : IF c>2 THEN CLOSE#c: END IF: STOP 1010 IF KEYROW(7)=64...

Hi Steve, ...enjoying playing around with your program. I notice there is an initialisation bug that's causing some explosions where there are no collisions. This may be because x and y need to be cleared on lines 700 and 740 before each test. 700 x=0:SELect af:=ac(j)-z TO ac(j)+z:x=1 740 y=0:SELect...

RetroArch.gif I was curious to see QDOS running on an e-ink device so I bought a 7.8 inch Meebook E-Reader P78 Pro. It runs Android 11 and if other e-ink devices are anything to go by, I assume it will never get any updates. Intending to run QDOS Classic on top of an Amiga emulator I had two choice...

Hi Derek, I had QPC1 in Dosbox, running on a Samsung 10.1" Tablet over 5 years ago. https://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=13917#p13917 I just read that post. Nice. My ideal would be to get QDOS on an e-ink tablet, so I could code outside when summer comes around. I wonder how practical that wou...

Here's QDOS Classic on my Android phone - via the UAE4arm App.
More unusual that usable as my eyes aren't what they were.


I wonder what other interesting or unusual hardware out there can run QDOS...

I suspect that the poor performance that you see on the 68030 PowerBook 180 is due to UAE having to emulate both the processor and the Amiga Blitter. Before you ended up with QDOS classic, did you have a slower 68K emulated version? Just curious if you were confronted with a slow emulator and went t...
