you have done a great job in producing a java emulation for the QL. At

Thanks for your kind words.
I have not installed your simulator yet, but I have read here so much

you something very, very, worthwile.
Please don't scrap it in despair... I haven't tried it yet! ;-)
Hi Rich,
As something to add to the request list - how easy would it be to allow
the emulator to support the same headers on executable files as
q-emulator - so that the two emulators could easily share files (rather
than using a qxl.win file for a small program?)
I'm sorry to say that I

something around six minutes.
No you didn't get it wrong, that's exactly what I understood.
I just didn't have the figure for the boot time, but inferred
Hi,
I followed your instructions and overclocked the device to 950 MHz
(Turbo caused a black screen but did not seem to damage the file
system).
This changed the boot up time to 4.5 minutes from just over 6 minutes.
Sadly it is still at 100 CPU all the time.
If I run another graphical java app
I wonder if the emulator is doing an awful lot of thinking in the background?
After all, QDOS was flashing cursors, running interrupt code, flushing slave blocks etc.
Equally, I bet there is a huge amount of work being done under the covers by
the emulated MC680xx processor.
As I said in
Hi,
This is correct. On all systems that I have rum SMSQmulator, it really
sucks up the CPU time. There is an option to have it take up less CPU
time when the cursor is blinking.
Even when running 100% CPU, I've found the other applications are not
greatly impacted and are fairly responsive.
Hi Wolfgang
Just tried SMSQmulator on my Windows XP system. Works fine. Ran my normal
QDT setup, a little slower than my QPC2 setup. But worked first time, no
problems. Great work.

Hi Wolfgang,
thank you very much for making this available!
Just a note: I was not able to run this under JRE on Windows 7, got error
about not being able to load fonts when starting. With a full JDK
environment I had no problems.
Best regards,
Petri

Hi Ian,
Glad it works.
i did have an exceptional beta tester in Tim Swenson!

...and now for the bit which might worry Wolfgang, Dilwyn just tried to run
it on his PC.
It worked first time! There's a first for everything I suppose :o)
Excellent work Wolfgang, now we have a Java based free emulator which runs
across many of the major operating systems which have Java
Hi Tobias,
OK will do...
Thanks

Wolfgang,
runs very well on the Mac now.
Maybe it's worth mentioning in the manual that the QL's ALT key is emulated through the Mac's
CMD key in order to not disturb the original Mac layout. And that ALT+Q doesn't work
on the Mac for the same

Darn, where did I go wrong?

Hi,
I also like the fact that a few sample programs have been supplied (3
games and Psion Xchange) - the emulator startup lets you get straight
into running a few programs. Great for people new to QL systems or who
have never used emulators before.
That was Timothy Swenson's idea.

Hi Wolfgang,
yes unfortunately I still see the same problem BUT I also see the same
problem with another piece of java software that I just downloaded so it
starts to look like it really is some kind of a JRE configuration problem
on my machine. This is very weird since some packages work well
Hi Petri,
no problem.
