Q-emuLator emulates the following QL hardware: To register Q-emuLator, go to the registration page. (On previous Windows versions, it is only emulated in full screen, and only if the smart upscaling feature is disabled).Ĭhanges for past versions of the emulator are archived here.ĭownload Q-emuLator 3.5.1 for Windows! (2 MB) Hardware flashing is always emulated in 8-colour mode. The windowed QL display has the correct aspect ratio, and resizing is smoother than on previous versions. Improved display emulation when running on Windows 7:

#Fossil q emulator driver

The existing driver by Simon Goodwin can be used to expose this facility as the SOUND device driver. Now Q-emuLator has a compatible implementation. Some QDOS systems like the Q40/Q60 computer have OS calls that allow programmers to play 8-bit sampled sounds. Floppy disk images are also used in other emulators like VirtualPC. There are many third party utilities available to create them, or to re-create floppy disks from the images. Compared to just copying the files, microdrive images are a more accurate and lower level representation of the microdrive, allowing simulation of many microdrive copy-protection schemes.įloppy disk images are simply a dump of all sectors of a floppy disk. Q-emuLator can access both these images and microdrive images created for the QLay emulator. The new mdump_exe utility allows to create microdrive cartridge images on a real QL. A special algorithm decides the colors of the additional pixels with the goal of preserving the original sharpness and increase the apparent resolution. Q-emuLator is now able to interpolate additional pixels to render the graphics smoother. When viewing the standard QL display resolutions in full screen mode, graphics may appear pixelated on today's monitors. A few QLPAKs are available for download on the software page. QLPAK files are single-file archives containing a piece of QL software and all the necessary emulator settings to run it.

#Fossil q emulator serial

When QL programs print to a serial port, Q-emuLator can now emulate an Epson-compatible printer and send the resulting output to your PC printer. you probably wouldn't want to wait minutes to load a long SuperBASIC program from microdrive like on a real QL! These continue to be faster than on a QL. With version 3, Q-emuLator is the first Sinclair QL emulator to precisely simulate the QL's speed, allowing you to play all QL games and animations at the speed they were meant to.Įxceptions are made for accessing the virtual microdrives and loading programs. However, the actual speed depended on the specific software being executed, and some software titles would run faster or slower than on a QL. The 'QL Speed' setting in previous versions of Q-emuLator would limit the emulation speed to roughly match the QL's speed. Sound is now enabled for non-standard ROMs and interrupt emulation has been improved. Many small incompatibilities have been fixed in the file system. The memory layout is now almost identical to a QL, improving compatibility with early QL software that expects system data structures to be at fixed memory addresses. The main window can be resized to show a bigger QL display area.
