Re: QPC File header on dosX_

I'll try that but it be would be good if in a future release it was globally (or at least at a drive level), disableable.
Caused me a good deal of head scratching as releases pre 5.x didn't do it :)

Cheers.

QPC File header on dosX_

Hi all,

Is there a way of switching off the generation of the (automatic) file headers in QPC, I'm generating ROM code and I would rather the header wasn't there, as it gets in the way of building the ROM in the host OS.

Cheers.

Phill.

Re: QL-SD driver 1.10

Hi all,

Just spotted a possible error / bytes that could be saved.

In file hd_ckrdy_asm the following code seems to be unreachable.

Code: Select all

hcrw_err
	moveq	#err.mchk,d0		; error return
	bra.s	hcrw_exit
It would save a few bytes if it was not needed and deleted...

Cheers.

Phill.

SMSQ/E source tree.

Hi all, Is there an easy way of purging all of the _rel _list etc files from the SMSQ/E source tree? At the moment I have it mounted on a dosX_ folder so can do it in windows, but it would be good if I could do the equivilent of "make clean" often does when building makefile based stuff. C...

Re: QPC2, expanding .WIN files.

Is there an easy way of creating an expanded version of the demo .WIN files that comes with QPC2? As IIRC, the one that comes with it has lots of software but almost no free space.... I guess I can format a new win file and then copy the software from win1_ to win2_ That's the way. Just drag&dr...

New QL-SD driver.

Hi all, Can someone confirm this is correct. The New QL-SD driver uses .WIN files that are the same format as QPC uses, and that they must be named QXL.WIN and be the only file on a fromatted FAT32 SDHC card? I mostly have the drivers for the QLFloppySD hardware working, with some tweaks to the hard...

Re: QMake and alternate files.

Currently I cannot say which way is better, it might well be that local GENIFs are preferable or maybe different macros. My main goal is not to have a) any additional burden maintaining the code base and b) any code increase because it's already a fight for every byte to fit into the ROM. I have lo...

QMake and alternate files.

Hi all, To try and seperate my hardware from the original QLSD hardware I need to seperate some of the routines into alternates depending on which version is being compiled, but to keep the bulk of the code common. For the original QLSD code, I did this with a bunch of GENIF statements, I'll still n...

Re: QL-SD driver 1.10

Could it be that you have no proper Qubide image, but something byteswapped by an IDE conversion device? That's the usual mistake people make. 68K Is big-endian, Intel not. That's possible, but the sbasic produced by the dir didn't look byteswapped e.g. it had "PRINT" not "RPNI T&quo...
