Hi Dilwyn
Yes it is big! I wrote a few drivers for MAME which MESS is a
derivative. It was very easy to remove
unwanted drivers and recompile. To use first download the mess0125b.zip
binaries and unzip it. You should
place the QL ROM's in the roms subdirectory, but I found I could only
get the emulator working if they
were placed in the directory containing 'messui.exe' (I'm probably doing
something stupid). The required
ROM files are typically: ipc8049.ic24, ql.js 0000.ic33, and ql.js
8000.ic34. Note the emulator supports
many QL ROM versions including Minerva. Click on 'messui.exe' to start
the program and scroll down
to find the QL to run it. The great thing about this emulator is the
well documented source code and the
ease in upgrading it. It should be very easy to drop in a 68040 and
emulate a Gold card running SMSQ.

Its seems highly unstable at the moment, but it does aim to emulate
all the hardware correctly.

I've downloaded this and the sheer number of files makes its name
appropriate.
It claims to support QL alright, but in the documentation I can't find
reference to howto configure it for QL. Anyone managed to do this and
if so HOW? e.g. I can't find what system name to use for a QL. Or am I
missing something fundamental?
Warning, for those with no broadband, the binaries are 14MB or so, the
sources (which contains the docs) are also about 13MB.
