DR. JIM'S LOADING NOTES (for Adrien's Bubble Burster)
=====================================================

For any QL SuperBASIC software I've written myself, I'd opt for QemuLator, but Steve has written this game to run on QPC2 in 8-bit colour mode. For this reason, I have not made a microdrive image as I usually would, because QPC2 considers itself beyond Sir Clive's shrunk-in-the-wash 8-track cartridges. The raw _BAS is all you get.

ADRIENS_BAS will *not* run on QemuLator or any other black-box-QL emulator (or even the real machine itself!) due to the use of SMSQ/E's naked REPeat command. Hence ADRIENS2_BAS has also been provided for these systems - but you'll need at the very least a Gold Card to get it running at even tolerable speeds! The SMSQ/E version for QPC2 is the one to use.


TO RUN THE GAME IN QPC2 v5:
---------------------------
- Launch QPC2.exe; if it doesn't start with the "Configurations" dialogue box, hold Shift while launching it to force the box to appear.
- Click "Devices", and the folder to the right of DOS1.
- Navigate to where the folder called "Steve's original files" is found. (This is the folder containing "Adriens_bas" that's visible from the Windows file manager.) Hit three consecutive "OK"s to launch QPC2.
- Right-click on the "ZZZ" at the top right of the introductory demo screen.
- Click the "K" cursor over the SuperBASIC window.
- Type "dir dos1_" if required, to confirm that dos1_ points to the correct files.
- Type "lrun dos1_adriens_bas". And Enter, obviously.


TO RUN THE GAME IN QEMULATOR v3.3.1, NOT NECESSARILY REGISTERED:
----------------------------------------------------------------
- Launch QemuLator.
- Left-click on the grey microdrive slot marked "1" at the bottom of the screen.
- Choose "Attach Directory" and select the folder "Steve's original files". The directory will become your virtual microdrive.
- Press F1 to start monitor mode.
- Type: "lrun mdv1_adriens2_bas" and Enter.
