And all this with the standard screen size of 512x256(!)

I have uploaded my normal boot file for sQLux (nearly the same for UQLX on WSL2) for Windows (not 1 byte changed!) and the picture is the result, after a bit playing with it, without crash(!).

I've got to agree, it's an amazing achievement! As long as you have a win file, you can get your QL fix on any computer that has a web browser. Fantastic!

I do have one problem with it, and maybe someone can enlighten me, I can't get the SAVE function to work. Any changes that I make within the win file disappear after ending my session. There is a SAVE button, but maybe I'm not using it properly.

Cheers,
Alan

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

No, it probably could be done by a web developer, but there are none available in QL ecosystem :-(

Oops, there's a mistake in the thread starting article (from me): You can of course NOT upload a boot file, but you MUST upload a "disk image" (e.g. a [PC] *.win file).
