Re: Help with Q Liberator


No I hadn't. Have tried qlib_use win1_ (guessing syntax) but no different.

Ypu should use something like this

QLIB_use win1_QLiberator_, QLiberator_

first parameter is the directory where QLiberator is installed
Second parameter is the directory of the help file
(modify QLiberator_ to the ...

Re: Procedure call tree


I'm pretty sure I've seen what I'm looking for somewhere, but can't for the life of me remember where! If anyone knows of such a program, it'll save me time writing my own.
What I'd like is a routine to scan a program in memory and in addition to listing procedures and functions (like QREF ...

Re: Graphics progs for Mode 4

I use Photoshop - you can add QL palettes for mode 4 and mode 8 and work/save the image in indexed colours.
You can also use Gimp, Jasc Paint Shop Pro or Aseprite

Re: BatmanQL - Joan Gayon (2025)

It looks spectacular!
For some reason, in QEmulator (registered, Windows 11) CTRL is not working, and I cannot make it jump :(
Or you need to take the boots in order to jump? (I suck at arcade games!)
The cursor keys are working.
I will try the game later on real QL

Re: QL Keyboard matrix Figure 4.2

Does anyone know if the Figure 4.2 "Keyboard Format" diagram in the QL service manual is accurate? I made myself a keyboard based on it but I'm getting some weird results.
I double checked the wiring and it all seems correct according to the diagram. For example, keys 1,2 & 3 are reversed ...

Then can tests can be run in SMSQ/E 3.41 or older?

Re: Q_Liberator malaise

I might be totally wrong here, so please don't shoot!
Yesterday I was checking some old QL programs and I noticed that the program QL3D by Mark Swift includes a toolkit named SMSQCACH_cde with the description "Q40/Q60 processor cache BASIC toolkit 1.00"
The keywords included in the toolkit are ...
