I've put the latest version of uQLx for 32-bit Windows from Phoebus Dokos
onto my website.
You'll need the Cygwin distribution to provide the Linux-like environment:
www.cygwin.com
Be careful, it can be a huge download of 50MB with 6,478 files to install
as I found to my cost...oh to know what I'm doing with Linux and Cygwin
:-((
I never could get the previous versions of uQLx-Win32 working, and I can't
get this one running either unless someone is kind enough to write a step
by step guide for people like me with no knowledge of Linux (keeps
complaining of missing .dll files).
Anyway, it's there for those brave enough to have a go, at
http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/emu/index.html - you can download either a
conventional zipped version or a smaller 7-zip version for people who use
the free 7-zip utility.
Go on, give it a go, then you can tell me what I'm doing wrong...

Should have said that if (unlike me) you alter the references in the Cygwin
installer to 'install' from 'default' to make sure you get the right bits
of
cygwin (ain't these installers wonderful!) you end up with around 512MB of
files, with 36,201 files. Of those, you only need a minimal subset of 6
files...except cygz11-6.dll (listed as a requirement in the uqlx readme
file
for Windows) is not one of them!
Back to the drawing board I think...Only 36,195 files to uninstall!
I've got as far as getting it to announce it's starting uQLx but at that
point it just vanishes.
I think it's because it expects cygz11-6.dll and the distro provides
cygx11-6.dll
So at that point I'm now stuck...until someone shows me where I'm going
wrong! (e.g. I ought to have downloaded the Beta version mentioned on the
website but I don't want to risk downloading another 36,000 files!)
