Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator 2.28
Hi, With help from Wolfgang and some googling on my own there are now two different solutions to this problem. Wolfgang supplied me with a new smsqmulator which was able to keep up, and I found the programming manual to the scanner family on the net which enabled me to reduce its typing speed.

Kjartan uQlx makes no attempt to emulate a keyboard. It just directly fills the QDOS input buffers. Graeme And that's fine - SMSQmulator on the other hand doesn't keep up.. I'm curious, how does uqlx handle multiple keystrokes such as CTRL+ALT+Shift + left?

Would it be possible to speed up the keyboard handling? It fails to correctly read a barcode scanner. Random characters lost on each scan.

Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator
On a 3.4Ghz PhenomII, 64bit linux and openJDK 1.6 the emulator starts in less than two seconds, your little test finishes in 4 seconds. The demo version of QPC2 seems to run 5.5 times faster than the emulator. Running some of the benchmark programs available for the QL, the emulator comes out as being about 55 times faster than a regular QL and 5.5 times faster than my SGC.

On as 2.93GHz Celeron processor with 2G of ram. With NORTON 360 running in the background, that is my firewall and anti virus program. From clicking on the SMSQmulator JAVA exe file to displaying the SMSQmulator window takes 15 seconds, then loading and running my boot file a further 10 seconds. I am running a screen size of 1024 x 600. Don't know if that makes any difference. If I run a simple program as follows:- 100 FOR a=1 TO 1000 110 PRINT a 120 NEXT a On SMSQmulator it takes 2 min, 42 seconds to run. On QPC2 the same program runs in 5 seconds So SMSQmulator is 32.4 times slower than QPC2 on my system. So for programs like word processors speadsheets etc. Not a real problem. But programs like games, I would say, not so good. However my simple program is not representative of running real programs, so they may well run faster. All you can do is try them as see how you get on. I just did this out of interest just to see what would happen.

To boot SMSQmulator on the 256MB Raspberry Pi is something around six minutes. No you didn't get it wrong, that's exactly what I understood. I just didn't have the figure for the boot time, but inferred that is was less than 20 mins. Still, 6 mins an a pi and 20 mins on a 2 Ghz machine? Strange. I haven't tested it on my pi yet, but 6 and 20 minutes seems very odd to me. Unless I'm doing something wrong, boot time on a 3.4GHz PhenomII is less than 2 seconds. The 3 games all load instantly, Xchange in less than 2 seconds and the individual programs starts immediately. This is on OpenSUSE 11.4 with openjdk 1.6.0_24.
