I seem to have got myself into a bit of a muddle. First, I manage
to destroy a QL+RomDisq with a corrupt copy of smsq_gold 3.06
(revived with romd214_exe) and now I can't get 256 colour mode to
work on the Aurora.
Is the same smsq-gold v3.06 used for 256 colour on Aurora or is
there a separate version for Aurora? DISP_TYPE will change
resolution on the Aurora/SGC (a MinisQL) but DISP_COLOUR 2 is
ignored and configuring it to start in 256 colour mode seems to
make it lock up at a black screen.
If a separate version is needed, fine, just thought that as both
machines had Gold Card and SuperGold Card I thought I'd try the Gold
Card version which seems to run as long as the Aurora stays in QL
colour modes.
Not having the best of days today, the PC is behaving and the QLs
ain't. Somewhat unuusal in this household.
Now now - SMSQ_Gold colour version is the right one for Aurora - but
are you sure you have the colour version of SMSQ/e Dilwyn - here we
go back to the moans that there is no way of telling one from the
other...
Otherwise, you might need the guide on setting up the Aurora hardware
for high colours which Phoebus put together.
No I am not certain. All I am certain of is that it's SMSQ_GOLD v3.06.
It probably ain't the colours version as DISP_COLOUR 2 does nothing it
seems.
Does DISP_COLOUR 3 work OK ?
