HI,

Great game, works perfectly on the Q68 no need to slow the game down.

I load the game from a FLP image from a FAT partition on a SD Card with FDI loaded to and configured as FLP1, all works great.

Just need a Joystick on the Q68, maybe that will come in the future...

Hi,

while soft loading Toolkit 2 is a reasonable thing to do, how do you know whether Toolkit 2 is not already on the system the game is being played?

Hi, Whiles the faster SD Card access for the Q68 was a good idea, the feature has caused all sort of problems. Maybe should of not been made available till better testing had been done. I should also remind everyone, that downloading a new copy of SMSQ/E requires configuration of the config blocks. ...

Hi Derek, thanks for the quick reply, I can send you the Q68, it's still in the box you sent it to me in. Maybe you can 'repair' it and sell it to a deserving member.

Hi Minerva implements a second screen that if enabled. Take the memory location of the System Variables. The System Variables are moved to another memory location. There is a QDOS Management Trap: MT.INF that returns the location of of the System Variables. Maybe just calling this Trap will solve th...

Hi, I always create ZIP files with ACP (Archive Control Panel) in a QL environment, with the files stored in a QWA container, which QPC2, SMSQmulator, Qemulator, sQLux all strip off the the executable header, leaving the correct executable header. The zip files should be uncompressed to a QL contain...

The Jan Jones book (Quanta issue) does not fully agree with your picture. Stipple 0: Top Right is contrast Stipple 1: Bottom two are contrast Stipple 2: two Right-hand are contrast Stipple 3: Top Right & Bottom Left are contrast So Jan Jones is right and the QL manual is wrong, at least with QD...

Hi, I compiled xtc68 and qdos-gcc on Linux Mint 21, Debian 12 on a Core i5 PC and Raspberry Pi-400 with no problems the both compilers work great.
