doesn't work out of the box on UQLX but I can easilly add the second screen.. nobody asked for it yet. Does it depend on Minerva or will it completely disable QDOS to use the second screen? Afaik QLay is the most compatible emulator to use for old games but it is also very restricted in functionality. Qemulator and UQLX also work with a wide variety of old QDOS ROMs so many old games should work there as well. On the Q40/Q60 QDOS Classic might help some games as it uses a memory layout much more similar to a real QL. The second screen could be emulated with the help of the MMU or other tricks and it would be certainly fast enough for old games but iirc nobody looked at this yet. Otoh if the game tries to take over the machine completely then your chances on Q40/Q60 are very slim - use UQLX. Richard
