Getting QL files onto Linux

[RWAP]

I have games which are currently saved from within q-emulator into Windows folders and run well.

However, if a Linux user wants to play one of these games - what is the best method to supply them?

Does uQLx support a disk image for example?

QPC2 runs very well using WINE on Linux and can use floppy images.

uqlx does support both real QDOS floppies (in case the user still has a drive) and floppy disk images (simple device dumps which can be created using rawrite, for example)

.uqlxrc:

Code: Select all

DEVICE = flp1,~/disks/flp-image,qdos-fs
DEVICE = flp2_,dev/fd0h720,qdos-fs

makes flp1_ using a disk image named flp-image in the user's home directory and flp2_ the first real 720k drive.

OK - I will create a floppy disk image in q-emulator and copy the files to that.

They can then load the programs from uqlx, so that makes it easy - thanks

Hi,

Why not use a QXL.WIN file and use QPC2, SMSQmulator, QEMulator with Wine under Linux, this what I do.

I quite like the NFA device on SMSQmulator, so that a downloaded file can be unzipped from SMSQ/E in the native file system without loss of file header or excutable header.

If you use QPC2_QLSCREMU command in QPC2, most games may run.
