Ok, I can't understand this but if you say so, it should be ok ;-).

What is the latest version (D or E), which works on your STe? I have a lot of disks from TT, ok, not the recent SMSQ/E... but they all should work.

Cheers...Ralf

Ralf, it used to work. STe has some special initialisation parameters.

Anyway, The detection works from what I can see. If I force it to go
in ST mode,SMSQ just bombs.
I also tried to force mono monitor ,but that did not help at all.

It seems like it fails in the final step when it tries to create the
screen. Perhaps it uses a TOS call that is unsupported in this version
of TOS.

Investigation continues...

As far as I know, there is no different program for the three variations of
Atari (ST, STe, TT).

I have used the Level D and from TT a pre-assembled Level E (alpha) on both
MegaST and TT. Works without problems. Ok, it was the time, when TT still
was programming SMSQ.

Hi

As you may remember I have been trying to get recent SMSQE to run on
my 1024 STe.
I have tried to run in it the hatari emulator and it does work when
booted with EMUTOS, but not with the standard STe TOS. With the
standard TOS I get exactly the same behaviour as on real STe, a
garbled screen.

It might be possible to load EMUTOS on the real STe , but I wonders
what might cause this error. As I reported before a very old SMSQ.PRG
runs just fine.

I have been looking on the initialisation code in SMSQE. One thing
that might go wrong is the detection of wether it is ST or STe.
Another idea is that the old SMSQ.PRG doesn't have support for STe and
that it is that support that is broken somehow.

I will try to rebuild SMSQE without the auto detection and also trying
to force ST mode even if it is a STe.

Can I build the system with SMSQmulator or do I need QPC2? In that
case I need to wait a few days :)

Michael
