AspeQt-2K26 is a modernized fork of the classic AspeQt/RespeQt project, designed to emulate Atari 8-bit serial peripherals (Disk Drives, Printers) via SIO2PC.
Built for the modern era, AspeQt-2K26 ports the entire codebase to Qt 6, resolving dependency issues and bringing native High-DPI support to Windows 11, macOS (Apple Silicon), and Linux.
Key Features in v2.0.0:
Native TNFS Support: Mount and stream disk images directly from the internet using the FujiNet protocol. Point to servers like fujinet.pl and boot immediately—no downloads required.
Qt 6 Modernization: Replaces legacy Qt 4/5 code. Features a crisp, responsive UI with proper 4K scaling and restored drag-and-drop.
Large Drive Support: Fixed integer overflows to reliably support 16MB+ Hard Disk Images (65,535 sectors).
Enhanced Stability: Rock-solid Linux serial timing (no more "NAK" errors) and improved "Happy" drive emulation.
Embedded Firmware: Essential boot firmware (MyDOS, Atari DOS) is built-in.
