A new version of Q-emuLator for Windows is available. The main new feature is emulation of the Q60 video modes and some of the Aurora video modes. RAM available to unregistered copies has also been increased to 384KB to allow users to run unzip_exe to expand archives of QL software

Great, this means that QWord should be able to run on it - I will have to try and sort this out. Yes, the Q40/Q60 and Aurora versions should work on Q-emuLator. You may have to modify them to use only the video and not other parts of the Q60 HW/OS, though. However, even with level 2 drivers

Ah - the Q60 version relies on SMSQ/e - whereas the Aurora version does not. If the Aurora version of QWord assumes the Aurora card is always present and it uses the 512x480 256 colours mode, than it should work as is on Q-emuLator. If it tests for presence of the Aurora card it may work on not

3) How do we access the new display modes? Same pokes as on Aurora? I have the same question as Rich. I've got 2.4 installed. I select Q60 display mode. I then set the emulator to full screen. Once I start it, I've tried the following commands: - disp_size 1024,512 - No results
