Re: XBas vs BBC Basic
Lardo Boffin, that's a generous package, thanks!
But the goal of compiling it into a standalone COM file has yet to be achieved...

Re: Compiling Xtal Basic
Compiled it using a CP/M-compatible operating system on MSX. The result, which requires the runtime (xr.com from the compiler package), is attached below.

Re: XBas vs BBC Basic
There is an Xtal Basic compiler that does not work in MAME due to a floppy disk write restriction.

Re: Compiling Xtal Basic
As far as can tell, it’s a touchscreen keyboard for the actual Nintendo DS console. Don’t own the console itself, and emulators (DeSmuME and melonDS) don’t support it.MikeDHalliday wrote: Fri Mar 13, 2026 6:23 amGive colecoDS a go and see what happens. That is one emulator I haven't tried.

Perhaps it will work with ColecoDS? Is it worth trying?MikeDHalliday wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2026 5:56 pmThe reason is that mame does not support Einstein disk write operations. Or, that is what the old excuse used to be. I haven't updated my mame for a while, but suspect it's stills the same issue.

It's a bit quiet around here of late - mostly due to Mike being "on t'road" as it were. Good to have you on board.
