sQLux has a Slug command to slow the emulator down. The preferred way to slow down sQLux is to set the speed variable in sqlux.ini https://github.com/SinclairQL/sQLux/blob/master/docs/sqlux.md To quote the relevant section: SPEED Sets the execution speed of the emulator. Useful when running softwar...

That's a relief

Windows Defender barfs at the file above saying it contains a Trojan called Win32/Wacatac.B!ml. Whats going on? sQLux_w64 seems to work fine on my W11 laptop. No buzzing.. Have you got sound enabled in sqlux.ini? What happens if you enter beep 0,100 The file is clean, if you have doubts I suggest y...

I downloaded the zip of executables from the link XorA gave and tested a few of them. The 64 bit arm version ran fine on my Pi5. The x86 and A64 Linux sQLux need more modern libs than I have in my 2020 Ubuntu VM, so I could not try those. It is probably time I moved to a later distro! The 32bit Wind...

After a great deal of support and testing from @badaman the code changes needed for the Spanish keyboard have now been merged back into the sQLux master branch. The changes have been tested under X11 (Mint Linux, Ubuntu Linux and Pi Os) and MS Windows. There is support for dead keys, and a selection...

Thanks, that is good news. We are most of the way there :-) I agree we should stay on Linux and avoid Wine for now. Is the key that has the issue the one that is to the right of the Ñ key? If so I did struggle with that one. On the modern Spanish keyboard does that correspond to a key that adds the ...

To do the build I needed to check out my own repo on Windows, as I'd previously been working with Linux. When doing this I realised that my previous instructions were not explicit. To check out the correct branch on the repo the following is needed: git clone --recursive https://github.com/ikjordan/...

Thanks for testing. You should not need to set your keyboard to English. If it reports that a keyboard is not set, then none of the code I've written will be running. I've zipped up the two files I have changed and attached them here. spanish.zip Can you check if the code you have matches that pleas...

I've put some code together to support a Spanish keyboard for the MGE Spanish ROM (downloaded from https://dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/qlrom/index.html ) It is actually quite complicated to do this without a Spanish keyboard, especially as the defines assume a UK QL keyboard, so there are 3 levels of indir...

I will be happy to compile and test the new version with Spanish keyboard to give you feedback. That's great, thank you. I'll need to map the keys from a standard modern Spanish keyboard to the QL keycodes so the concept section is ideal. The plan is to map from the layout shown at: https://en.wiki...
