Commodore BASIC for OS X

the strangest thing, Commodore BASIC V2 as a scripting language for MacOSX. http://www.basic-converter.org/ just above the FAQ
not that this is useful, just thought it was strange.

Downloaded the Win32 version and it seems fake... does nothing really. Doesn't let you enter a program and doesn't understand the simplest of commands ("list" gives a syntax error, and so on).

try all caps, it doesn't understand lower case.

I wrote this two years ago in 8 hours
I's a real 6502 CPU emulator not only the commodore BASIC V2.0

try it out if you like

DJ.

[escape] = quit
[F2] = save commodore basic program
[F3] = load commodore basic program

Download windows binary: c64.exe
Source code: c64.bas
Would be cool if some of you port it to PB with a nice GUI :wink:

Could you share a link to the Win32 version?

Works good DJ, and I like that you map the windows keys to match the C64 keys properly.

Is it possible to load and save tape or disk image files. :?:

+1 on that! I hate emulators that ignore the labelled keys and use the old physical key positions. Makes it so hard to use.

But on another topic, how featured is your C64.exe anyway? It shows a blue screen, but when I entered "POKE 53280,5" the border didn't change to green. I was disappointed. I guess it doesn't really do much at all?

POKE 53281 does not work either, if peek these values it stays at 255 even after a poke, but if I poke 16384 with a number it changes.

It's the result of a competition.
The challenge was to get a commodore BASIC ROM and a 8 bit CPU emulation working in 8 hours.
If you take a look in the source code you will see there isn't a real video or sound chip emulation.
My code is open source and you can translate it to PB and add missing things if you like.

Bloody great effort to be done in 8 hours.

I think I will pass on that one, I think it would take me 8 years. :lol:
