QLion Gold Card

[lliont]

Thanks François, I was doing something wrong.

I now managed the 512x384 in 256 colors and the 1024x768 in 4 colors

I used the public source smsq/e version and emulated the aurora registers and set the same vram addresses, I managed to make the smsq/e recognize my card as a gold card with aurora, machine=11. The standard modes worked using the aurora vram space. The higher resolution 512x384 didn't seem to work. Then I tried with a 68020 mode and was recognized as super gold card but again it didn't work. It didn't switch to another resolution. Maybe I missed something and I'll try again to find a solution when I find some time. That Minerva trick is promising.
Thanks for the info.

Was there a special smsq/e version for aurora that was different from the one I try with that supported the high resolutions ?

Not as far as I know.
Marcel did the Aurora driver, and I am not sure if he supported the 'odd' resolutions like 1024x960 or 512x480 but as far as I remember, 512x384 should work. Does 512x384 work in mode 4? Q68 and QUIMSI use the same driver and implement aurora compatible 256 color modes, but I think it only supports 1024x768 256 colors...

What is a "QUIMSI" ?

QIMSI with accidentally inserted U because of a horrible keyboard

QIMSI with accidentally inserted U because of a horrible keyboard

But at least phonetically correct

No it me, I lived in the North East of England for a lo time, where the dialectic is a little strange, can not get rid of stupid Geordie accent.
