Re: Joystick/Sound in Supervisor mode?

That might have been my fault, sorry. Try adding an "OFFSET 0" after "SECTION data"

Unless there's here's little nasty gremlins changing the wiring every now and then.

Re: Serial QPC to QL

I think "terminal program" is a good keyword here. And preferably something that uses checksumed blocks for data transfer, like X-Modem or Kermit. Standard QL serial comms is so unreliable that without that you'll likely become desparate.

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)

Speaking of keyboard, what keyboard settings are supported with the latest release? Where to set the keyboard? In sqlux.ini? Documentation? Remember Tim's manual initially stated: sQLux uses the keyboard mapping from SDL2, which is a US Keyboard. Even with international ROMS, the keyboard will stil...

Re: SMSQ/E Executables

Or is the dataspace strictly required before loading? Of course it is. The first thing EX does is allocate memory in one piece for the program plus the data space (done by MT.CREAT, which wants both the program size and the needed data space). Then load the binary into the beginning of the allocate...

Re: Wordpress.com - warning if you use this site

I know some of us have a blog on Wordpress.com, so this might be of interest. Also, if you have a Tumblr account too. https://www.404media.co/tumblr-and-wordpress-to-sell-users-data-to-train-ai-tools/ It appears that these two sites will be selling your data, images, documents and such like to trai...

Re: SMSQ/E Executables

SMSQ/E has a way to encode data space size of executables (and nothing else) into the file name. Terrible. I don't have the slightest idea why SMSQ/E doesn't support the XTcc trailer instead. That's likely a performance thing. Parsing a file name (which you have anyways) for a digit and multiply by...
