The Sinclair QL Forum

It has been a great job by Exile, and from the QL community in Spanish, we appreciate your interest and effort. Thank you so much!!

XorA, would it be possible to call the next emulator distro, "The Comfy chair"? It's an inside joke between us.

Monty Python are a great inspiration, and, as everyone knows, nobody expects the spanish inquisition XD

We have already published the news (in Spanish) https://sinclairqles.wordpress.com/2024 ... -en-sqlux/

Hooray!

What follows is a friendly message with some sarcastic underline. No offense.

Well, my mother tongue and keyboard says: Hurra!

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 still be tied to the US keyboard.

Why I'm asking. sQLUX was kind of a beast on my PCs which have either German or Swiss German Windows editions installed. Also on the online editions (side-note both https://sqlux.xora.org.uk/ and https://sqlux.qlforum.co.uk/ still have v1.0.6-51/52) I have never succeeded to key in a =! And without a =, programming in SuperBASIC is a real challenge (Markus and I copy other lines which have at least one = in them, then edit the copied line to our needs. Not that smart but clever).

Other than that, sQLUX is another great pice of QL work.

Peace!

As English is not your first language I will forgive you for not looking in the excellent docs/ directory where @Exile even updated with the new info!

That's not a language thing, but rather a gender thing:

Real men don't read manuals!

Back to facts. Ah, I see it in the file sqlux.md in the "Source code" archives (ZIP/GZ). I shall try this out later on.

I've got the binary files from Desin. I just checked the GitHub page, no "official" binary distribution of v1.0.7 there (yet). This would be very handy for most folks.

Cheers

Sorry, but getting off topic, this comment is glorious in its humor. As an amateur prankster, he couldn't let it go.
