Re: Converting Images to mode8 _scr files

HI, I downloaded the source code from GIT hub, found that my installed version of cmake and ImageMagick required updating. So I downloaded the source code to cmake and ImageMagick, compiled and install onto my system. The "ql-picture" code compiled with no errors and converted the supplie...

Re: Converting Images to mode8 _scr files

And having proved the process here is a C version (its just a teensy bit faster)

AFAIK it needs ImageMagick v7+, I think there is an incompatible API change between v6 and v7 and v7 is the default in brew!

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)

v1.0.2 is out now to fix the bug I discovered last night while playing with _scr files. Loading one to screen from host filesystem now works as expected. It is very easy to run in windows it is just click and go straight in to a game. :? Eliminated the game by renaming the ini file. I was curious w...

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)

Hi, I have a iMac (Late 2006), that needs a new DVD Drive fitted, can sQLux run on this iMac. Mind you I do not like the MAC OSX, but this iMac was on £15 pound bought locally.

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)

And now I find my own bug, lbytes command does not work from an emulated drive. (Works fine from .img or .win files). Prepare yourself for some stupid questions after Christmas dinner and half a bottle of wine, no NOLO here. What is sQlx? What is wrong with uQlx? is it for Linux? sQLux is an SDL2 b...
