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...

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.

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.

Perhaps it will work with ColecoDS? Is it worth trying?

The last 3 being football manager, elevator action and arkanoid.
Converted one of my two logic games from MSX to Tatung Einstein myself.
