SEGA MegaDrive / Genesis
The Sinclair QL (for Quantum Leap) is a personal computer launched by Sinclair Research in 1984, as an upper-end counterpart to the ZX Spectrum. It was aimed at the serious home user and professional and executive users markets from small to medium-sized businesses and higher educational establishments, but failed to achieve commercial success. The Sinclair QL uses a Motorola 68008.CPU with 32-bit internal data registers, but an 8-bit external data bus.

Header
To load content from a folder or MDV image, you need both the binary and a basic loader, similar to platforms like the ZX Spectrum and CPC, Now copy your intro code as CODE into the same output folder and Q-Emulator should be able to pick everything up automatically and load the code. You can link the folder directly from the Q-emulator or generate a MDV image using mdvtool for distribution.
