Re: [Ql-Users] Web Emulator
Is there anyone willing and able to write such an emulator ? You mean something like this http://www.vavasour.ca/jeff/ts1000/index.html but for the QL ? Yeah, would be cool :) Yes something like that would be ideal !! ... and loadable as an application on smart phones! Tony Yes - I wonder if Quanta would be willing to help fund the development of this and other emulators to help keep developing interest in the Sinclair QL? -- Rich Mellor I like the look of that - a TS1000 (ZX81) running its programs in a browser window. Certainly a way of attracting past users to try out retro programs. Quanta has looked at business cases for certain projects before. Some did get finance, some didn't. The best way is to submit a proper business case to the Chairman and the committee can then discuss it on its merits. I know that the previous Quanta Chairman did ask in a Chairman's Report column earlier this year the question arises as to whether there might be merit in porting JAVA to the QL, for example. But being able to run QL programs in a PC or Mac browser window like the ZX81/TS1000 example given would be great if it were to come about.
