It would be anyhow very cool to have several set ups available for download, one with QL/E another one with black phoenix, a basic one with Cue Shell and Psion x-change and a leisure oriented one with Games, 3D animations and more. All ready to go, download, SD card, run on Q68, go!
Both QL/E and Black Phoenix are available on download.
If I start to produce a Q68 image file, the I have maintain it, which duplicates the work of the original system ptoducers.
Since both systems use QWA containers, the systems can be downloaded and copied to a FAT32 partition on a suitable SD Card.
The SD Card supplied with new Q68 systems, has QL/E, Psion Xchange, Qpac2, Q-Dock, Prowess , some games, QDT, assemblers, editors etc...
So most of the applications is supplied on the Q68 SD Card.
Since Black Phoenix v1.5 has been released, with Q68 screen mode support, I have included Black Phoenix v1.5 on the SD Card.
The image file is 4Gb in size which includes SMSQ/E, 2Mb FAT partition, QL/E, Black Phoenix v1.5.
What I really meant was a SD Card with Games in FDI format files, that is used in addition to the Q68 boot SD Card.
I did look at the Adventure games, with a view to supplying an Adventure SD Card. But some of the games were so badly written, they would not run under SMSQ/E. I would have correct the games to run.
Saying all this I have written an Infocom Adaventure Game selector, which includes all QL compatiable Infocom style text games.
All this could made available for download in 512Mb QWA files or splied on SD Card.
I am not sure if the QL Hompage will support this type of download.
Supply of software on SD Card would be at the cost of the SD Card.
At present this is just ideas.
