Re: CBZone

I had thought so, but it's been hit and miss getting software to run. For instance Tron2010 runs, but the graphical intro glitches on my system with pink flashing blocks. I'd hoped to run the GNU Chess, but I cant work out how to get it running on my system. I think some of these programs expect Too...

Re: CBZone

I realise this is going a bit off topic, but as we're on the subject. What expansions are available for the QL and what are worth getting to improve the system? As I newcomer, I'd honestly love to know. Ive read there are ROM updates, that introduce a GUI and improvements over the earlier revisions ...

Re: CBZone

Unless I'm mistaken, upgrading a QL can be some what haphazard. As it requires a gold card, so you have enough ram to run the updated roms. But the gold cards are hard to come by are they not? And when they do, they're pretty expensive.

Re: CBZone

I'm trying to run cbzone on a ql with a JM from and 512kb ram expansion. Given what's been said, I think I'm now pretty confident my machine isn't powerful enough to run the program. I only tested it on QPCII before taking the floppy over to my QL, it ran like a dog and then I realised I could see t...

Re: CBZone

I only tested it on QPCII before taking the floppy over to my QL, it ran like a dog and then I realised I could see text at the bottom of the screen. Basically it was the command prompt, which has appeared. This also happened in the emulator, so i'm guessing perhaps it needs something with a little ...

CBZone

Hi guys

I'm still messing about with my QL, actually been struggling to find software to run on it. If it wasn't for Dilwyn's site I'd be snookered.

I found a game called CBzone which acts a little odd via QPC2 and even worse on my actual QL. Is this designed for an expanded QL or something?

Cheers

Re: Quill files to PC?

Out of curiosity, how are you guys getting your files on to a Windows / Mac environment? My QL doesn't read dos disks.
