Re: SMSQ/2 on Atari

I expect that the SMS2 cartridge is pure ROM cartridge.
But I'm not sure, is its content available anywhere?

XChange is more ptr_gen friendly than old Quill.

Re: QL Games/Software on mdv Cartridge.

VROOM is incompatible with Minerva ROM.
Probably the only QL game with this incompatibility.

What ROM do You have?

Re: QLUB Adapter - Initial Release...

Moreover, there is ZX Spectrum with 528 KiO RAM, with Interface 1 (including NET, serial and connector for Microdrive) built-in.
And running CP/M from Microdrive :)

You can dedicate 256 addresses in the ROM area for “writing”.
Reading any of this addresses writes the corresponding value (0 to 255) to the register of device connected to the ROM port.

Not quite true.

WTV without parameter restores to MODE 4, not 8 (on my QLs, at least).
What is what I use, resolution to fit onto normal TV, but with more characters per line like in WMON modes.

Re: Where do you do QLing today?

NO computer generated effect
On the other hand, 8-bit computer effects and animations are amazing.

There is 1981 amateur movie Asteroid!, where Apple II was used for computer effects, titles and animation.
Part 1
Part 2

Compilation of animation only is HERE.
