Run directly, with two small exceptions - the QLay2 emulator needs to have timing set for the host computer. It just means running one simple SuperBASIC program which tells you how much you have to change the default speed value to get QLay2 to run at the right speed.
The version of QemuLator supplied is a shareware version. This is limited ot running at the speed of a standard QL with up to 384K of RAM. Registering it with its author (cost of $40) gets you a registration code you enter to unlock many (and I mean many) more features. Unfortunately, as the emulator stores the registration code in the computer's registry, this number needs to be entered on every PC it's plugged into (and I hope users will be considerate and unregister it to clear the entry from anyone else's PC's registry once you've finished using it on that PC). Apart from that no setup. Do bear in mind that I supply it on CD, so that you choose your own USB pen drive rather than be restricted by any I choose to supply.

In other words, is it a true portable solution or do some installs to the host Windows computer have to take place? Regardless, I'll be ordering one for the convenience, particularly with the transfer utilities... ================================= Bill Loguidice, Managing Director Armchair Arcade, Inc. http://www.armchairarcade.com A PC Magazine Top 100 Website ================================= ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dilwyn Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "QL Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2007 10:25 PM Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] Punters Not yet, there will be on some information on my website later in the week. Basically, it's a CD containing 3 emulators for Windows (QLay2, QemuLator shareware version and QPC2 demo version). It also contains a few sample QL programs (Turbo, Go!, S_Edit editor, and a text file viewer) plus a couple of Windows utilitities (WXQT2 PC-QL file transfer and QStripper for converting Quill DOC files to text/html/PDF/Docbook XML). QLay2 comes complete with a couple of DOS/Windows programs to help with file transfer between QL and PC as well. The idea is that you copy the CD to a USB pen drive of your choice (minimum free space needed on the pen drive is about 80MB, so a 128MB or greater USB pen drive is recommended. Once that's done, you can carry it around with you to plug into any PC with a USB port, so you have a truly portable "QL" you can carry around with you on a keyring if you wish! The CD version is available from me for 5 pounds, including UK postage, or add £1 for overseas postage. It will be available from Darren Branagh at Q-Celt Computing in Ireland, although I don't know if he intends to supply it on CD to keep costs down and allow people to choose their own pen drive, or if he intends to try to find a cheap source of drives to supply them completely ready to go. The "QL On A Stick" CD was formally launched at the Quanta workshop in Birmingham last saturday and quite well received - I issued several copies at the show and review copies are with QL Today, although I don't know if Quanta actually got their review copy in the end, it got a bit hectic at one stage! (John Gilpin - if reading this can you let me know if you got a copy for review on saturday). Hope that helps for now, until I get the info files in place on my website. -- Dilwyn Jones ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Loguidice" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2007 9:39 PM Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] Punters > Is there more information somewhere about the QL-on-a-stick? > > > ================================= > Bill Loguidice, Managing Director > Armchair Arcade, Inc. > http://www.armchairarcade.com > A PC Magazine Top 100 Website > ================================= > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of hitchies > Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2007 4:33 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] Punters > > Norman wrote... > > "Who needs a spring when you have gravity?" > > Please send me some (in green please) Norman! > > Thus, Malcolm wrote... > > I guess it also helps to be slightly mad ... :-) > > John in Wales (not raining) > "Attendee" > > _______________________________________________ > QL-Users Mailing List > http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm > > _______________________________________________ > QL-Users Mailing List > http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm > > > -- > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.5.485 / Virus Database: 269.14.6/1060 - Release Date: > 09/10/2007 16:43 > _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm -- No virus found in this incoming message.
