Re: Magnetic Scrolls Interpreter - Christmas Edition

Hello, Running this version on my Q68, I get squashed graphics on the left of the screen. Anyone have a fix for this? D. What DISP_MODE are you using? Hi, Mostly Mode 6, but I also tried Modes 2 and 3. All gave the same results. It DOES work in Mode 0, so it would seem that the problem is with the ...

Re: Magnetic Scrolls Interpreter - Christmas Edition

I thought I should add that it seems to work well on Minerva on the Q68! Graphics look very dithered, and are the correct size.

Re: The Pawn is back. And it's not alone!

Hello,

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I just wanted to say congratulations on a great job! It runs very nicely on my Q68.

I do think though that the font size needs a little adjustment to be perfect...

Re: QBase new version

Hi Daniel, I have downloaded your updates to QBase. It is good that you are continuing development of the software. I must say that I thought the early version of QBase were really good, I included this on the software package supplied with the Q60, in 2002. It does work well on the Q68, I usually ...

Re: New Minerva ROMs for Q68

The best solution for this would be to add Q68 PS/2 mouse support to the PE. Since the mouse initialization is already handled by the Q68 loader, that shouldn't be extremely difficult, but I have no idea if the PE sources are available.

Re: QBase new version

Hi all, I've been going through one of my periodic periods of renewed interest in the QL, and this has resulted in a new version of Qbase. This is version 1.02.
