Raspberry Pi emulator state of play...

[Dave]

What is the current most compatible Pi QL Emulator, and who maintains it?

Hi Dave,

This might help: https://dilwyn2.wordpress.com/2017/02/20/uqlx-2017/.

(As recently seen in MagPi magazine! Page 94. Free and legal pdf copy at https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi-issues/MagPi69.pdf.)

Cheers,
Norm.

Hi Dave,

I would say smsqmulator, the java based emulator maintained by Wolfgang Lenerz. Its more capable than uQLx, which I have also tried, as it runs smsq/e. uQLx, gives a more basic QDOS QL emulation. It does run faster than smsqmulator and I expect it is more stable in the recent release. For smsqumulator gets a useful speed out of the emulation (slightly faster bogomips than the Q68) with a RPi 3 with a slight touch of over clocking or the just released RPi 3+.

Being able to run SMSQ/E is always attractive.

Being written in Java and having an active maintainer, I wonder if Wolfgang Lenerz has tried implementing any interfaces using the GPIOs?

Just been playing with a Pi 3 and SMSQEmulator....

It's a bit faster than my Q68.

Surprising.

Haven't ever been able to get uQLx to work at all.

That should work, Swensons distro was developed on Pi0

I'm glad you showed up

I got uQLx running on an older Pi 2 but not on this Pi 3. Don't know why.

Any possibility of uQLx growing to support SMSQ/E?

Hi,

I istalled Java on my RPI3B and run SMSQmulator, works well.

Its more the other way round who will write the SMSQ/E drivers for uQlx?
