This video shows how to copy games that may have been downloaded off the internet into the Spectrum Next's QL Core to run in there. This involves copying the game from the Next's SD folder structure into the QL's QXL.WIN container. The game can then be played.

No audio.

First copy a QL game into a folder on the Next SD card using a PC/Mac.

The video then shows how to copy a game into the QL QXL.WIN container to run on the QL core in the Next.

There can be a bit of trial and error getting the command syntax right as shown in the video.

See the comments for how to slow the games down to a playable speed.

There is a follow on video to this made in August 2025 on the channel.
