Re: Detect Q-emulator

You could try and edit the ROM file that Qemulator i s using and change the JS string.

Re: SlipKnot-like Browser for QL - Mimir

Last time I posted a webpage to play with the non-internet version. Here is a video showing you how it fully works. Its shown surfing Dilwyn's QL Homepage.

Re: SlipKnot-like Browser for QL - Mimir

Below is a link of my browser working. So it turns out that http://SDF.org not only gives you a free account (well, you send them $1 in the mail or paypal them $6 for a lifetime membership) but it also lets you host your own webpage (it's an html directory in your home directory where you put stuff ...

Re: SlipKnot-like Browser for QL - Mimir

Ok, this one is even better. It should now work with any page, regardless of size. You can use http or https, either will work.


MIMIR.zip


It's still a limited prototype, but it will now display the first part of any webpage. I tried https://cnn.com and it worked perfectly. What I do is load as ...

Re: SlipKnot-like Browser for QL - Mimir


Does it have an option to use the software settings (through the standard COM calls) instead of overriding them?

EDIT: never mind, I found many drivers have similar UI. They should still respond to software changes (e.g. BAUD command on QL side), although I've seen some of them not liking those ...

Re: SlipKnot-like Browser for QL - Mimir


I'm mostly using it for TFTP file transfer. IRC client also works. With Martin's driver, Lynx should work, but I never found time to play with it.
Yet unreleased, I have a webserver, the "retawq" webbrowser, and an email client with pointer interface. The latter has become practically useless as ...

Re: SlipKnot-like Browser for QL - Mimir

Btw, I opened the QL_Emulator link on this forum and at one point it shows Lynx running. Do some emulators give you connection to the host computers networking infrastructure? Or is Lynx just used to read local html pages?

If Lynx can reach the web, is there any hardware that it works on? I know ...

Re: SlipKnot-like Browser for QL - Mimir

This version works so much better and I only added a small amount of code with the changes not that complex:


MIMIR.zip


I ended up using the UNIX/Linux ed command, which is a line editor. It really fixes all the issues I had before. So now given a URL, the command I execute behind the scenes on ...

Re: Online Emulator (of THIS forum) is really GREAT!

That's pretty cool! Is there a way to reset it without having to refresh the browser?

Re: SlipKnot-like Browser for QL - Mimir

This one works a bit better. It's pretty accurate but has one flaw, which is that once a page is loading, there is no simple way to stop it. So if you ESCape, or reach the limits, the page displays, but the modem seems to stop sending. I'm not sure if that's an issue with the communication between ...
