Here it works OK in 16 bit colour mode, and actually also in 4 bit colour mode - the colours are so horrible that I thought they were wrong, but they are the sams on QPC in 4 colour mode. If this is in 16 bit colour mode, could you send me your SMSQmulator.ini file? What does RMODE in Sbasic return? Wolfgang ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

[Ql-Users] SMSQmulator - set screen size
I wonder if I'm the only person seeing this because I have not seen it reported here previously. I use config-Set screen size to set a new screen size. I choose, for the sake of argument, 512x256. The screen redraws and reboots SMSQ/E and the screen is bigger than I wanted. Going back in to config-set screen size again, shows that the current size is 1024x512. Double what I requested. In order to get the screen size I want, I have to set it to half what I want. Also, when I do set the screen size, rounding the X size to the next divisible by 8 value diesn't appear to be happening. If I select 101x101 I actually get 202x202 and this Illegal Instruction $4afb at $7f6a6a in the shell window I started SMSQmulator from. All of this is 1.05 and with 16 bit colours or QL colours. Not all screen sizes give the error message though, but all of them go double sized.

find anything that supplies it in win1_extns (or anywhere else!).
Palette_ql isn't an extension either.
Obviously Wolfgang had this IS_EXTN on his system when he wrote this boot.
The origin is unknown, it's not in my Keywords database.
PALETTE_QL is an SMSQ/E keyword so should always be there anyway, unless
it was removed.
RMODE is a QPTR command and will most likely not produce the correct
result, it's missing from this boot.
You can use DISP_TYPE in stead of rmode.

I could see halve the screen size but until I clicked that, I couldn't see double the screen size. Everything in that option is now working fine. Glad that helped, Norman. I think Wolfgang introduced this to make it easier for users with restricted vision to read the small QL text when used at high resolutions, but it's pretty handy when using QL 512x256 resolution on a large monitor. By default, SMSQmulator here is 1024x768 and if I accidentally use double size it more than fills the display, although it doesn't seem to immediately crash for me unlike how it did for Bob (I am using v1.05 on Windows 7 64-bit). Some other QL emulators have similar facilities - QL2K lets you choose some preset magnifications, others will let you drag corners, although results aren't always pretty if you don't get a multiple of the original resolution. Incidentally, a little tip for Windoze users. I wanted a shortcut for SMSQmulator on the Windoze taskbar but all I could get was the general Java icon. I know SMSQmulator displays the Wolf Soft icon when the emulator runs, but couldn't get that to display on the taskbar. Having designed a little icon which (apologies to Marcel) looked just like the QPC II one, I found a way to change it. (If anyone wants the icon, just send me an email, the list won't let me post a graphic or icon here). Create an icon which is a shortcut to SMSQmulator.jar . If your paths includes the location of javaw.exe, just browse to SMSQmulator.jar and that may be enough. If not, you may need to call javaw.exe with the full path and the SMSQmulator.jar as a command, e.g. in my case: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe -jar c:\SMSQmulator7\SMSQmulator.jar In the Properties window, choose the Shortcut tab. Click on the Change Icon button. If it offers a suitable icon in the list, choose one of those. Otherwise, use the Browse button to locate a suitable icon, a .ico file - you may find you can use others such as .png or .bmp but I haven't tried those. I created mine as a 32x32 graphic in Windows Paint and copied it into a program such as Irfan View to convert it to an .ico Windows icon file and saved it in the SMSQmulator folder. Click OK. You will find on some versions of Windoze that it insists on still displaying the Java icon. Looking this up on the internet I realised that next time I restarted Windoze the icon displayed correctly. Dilwyn ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator - set screen size
Still got the error about illegal instructions though. Darn I missed that. OK, minimum screen size is 512x256. In the next version, I'll see to it that it just can't get less than that. Wolfgang ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
