RWAP Software is run
by Rich Mellor, a programmer with a long history of updating old
software to run on the latest machines.
Some of that software,
including several adventures and games, has been released as commercial programs. However, we have also
acquired various updates to old favourites which enable them to run
from disk or emulator without the need for a microdrive
cartridge. We can also supply a working copy on microdrive if
required, which will not require the original master.
We cannot guarantee
that these updates will work on the latest versions of the QL, or all
current emulators, but would welcome feed back detailing which systems
they will not work on. Certainly most seem to work on the
shareware QemuLator and that is what we tend to use for testing at
present.
If you want to try out
the various Sinclair QL emulators available, we can provide a CD-ROM
with all of the emulators plus a wide variety of documentation and
software - see here for details.
In order to obtain a
copy of the software, you will need to provide proof that you own the
original commercial program. You will then need to pay a fee for
the working copy according to the following prices:
Disk Version £5
+ postage
Emulator Version (emailed to you) £5
Sinclair QL Microdrive Version £10 + postage
Please also note that
when ordering our own software, you can also request an emulator
version.
Copyright Holders
If you are the copyright holder of any of the items
below, we would love to hear from you - with a view to either obtaining
the source codes, or an electronic manual, or making the program
available once again, either commercially or public domain.
What Updates Are
Available?
The following updates to commercial Sinclair QL
software are available:
NOTE: When ordering, you will be asked to
provide proof that you own the original version!
Compatibility
At the moment, many games may not
run on QPC2 and have not been tested - we will test them as people
order - the main issue is that QPC2 runs too quickly!
We are also aware that the
following software seems to have problems on the ROM versions specified
(although this is not exhaustive) - We would welcome any additions to
this list, so that hopefully the programs can be changed to make them
compatible:
SMSQ/E v2.85
Quazimodo
Microdeal QL Flight
Double Block
Mortville Manor
Adventures written with Quill from Gilsoft*
The Lost Pharaoh
Snooker (will not work with Pointer Environment)
Citadel
MINERVA v1.97
Tanbusters
The Lost Pharaoh
Karate
* Note that these adventures will work with the aid of the public
domain program Quill to SuperBasic convertor
available from us.
