Ok, here comes Second impressions: Testing SMSQmulator Both SMSQ emulators boot into my standard setup Platform: MacBook Pro 13" Intel Core Duo P7550 @ 2.26 GHz, 4GB Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit SMSQmulator v1.00, 1024x640, 16MB, Cursor delay 200 QPC2 3.34, 1024x768, 16MB, Lowest, Idle SMSQm QPC2 Times faster bogomips 1.4, cursor not visible 6.83 140.18 20.53 bogomips 1.4, cursor blinking 3.15 134.21 42.61 Dhrystone C68, v2.1 millisecs 131.67 12.43 10.59 Ds/s 7595.03 80342.87 10.58 Vax Mips 4.34 45.73 10.55 Dhrystone GCC, v2.1 millisecs 102.20 9.40 10.87 Ds/s 9784.73 106383.00 10.87 Vax Mips 5.56 60.55 10.89
If this table is readable, youll see that on my standard system, SMSQmulator runs at about 1/11th the speed of QPC2. Not bad! I can see a use for this system as a quick and easy way to look up something on the QL side, edit a document, etc, without having to boot up the whole environment. But for that to be practical, Id need for SMSQmulator not to die as easily as it does: Any resetting or quitting should present a "Did you really mean that Y/N?" dialogue. Also, there should be an option to stop or slow down the emulator when not in use, eg when minimising, as it maxes out one core and the fan frequently fires up when its running. (A desktop icon might be nice too ;) I did experience one problem: In one of my Qlib-compiled programs, parts of the text displayed as null-characters. I experienced this before in uQLx or QLay (I seem to recall) but managed to fix it - or so I thought. It could be due to an error in one of my extensions. Funny it should present again here, as it now works across the board elsewhere. But I shant bother you with this, as Im sure the problem is mine. Great work, Wolfgang!
