I stumbled across EXA-BASIC today - it's tucked away on cartridge number 16 (Utilities) of the Alkatraz Development Cartridges
It's an extended BASIC utility and needs an Interface 1 to work - executes at 57600
It has two flavours of commands - graphic extensions prefixed with *
And toolkit types - line renumber, tape header reader, turbo loader/saver etc prefixed with .
*HELP and .HELP give those command summaries

Re: uMIA : EXA-BASIC
I need to take a .scr for its ZXDB entry and am struggling to load this. I've tried loading the "BASIC CODE" from the TAP but I can't get anything sensible out of it. I'm not used to cartridges.jpnz wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 4:53 am I stumbled across EXA-BASIC today - it's tucked away on cartridge number 16 (Utilities) of the Alkatraz Development Cartridges
Can anyone help?
Re: uMIA : EXA-BASIC
With Fuse, enable interface 1 [Options / Peripherals / General... ], let Fuse tell you that you are missing if1-2.rom.
Scour the internet for if1-2.rom, download it and put it in the Fuse roms folder and try again.
Insert the microdrive image [ Media / Interface 1 / Microdrive 1 / Insert... ]
Code: Select all
CLEAR 57599
LOAD *"M";1;"BASIC CODE" CODE <-- file name is case sensitive
RANDOMIZE USR 57600

Yeah, I can sort that out - I can probably create a standalone cartridge version as well.R-Tape wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 10:00 pmI need to take a .scr for its ZXDB entry and am struggling to load this.

EDIT - here we are, all the previously posted images, plus a couple of .SCRs and an .MDR image.
Plus a bonus TZX/CSW example of the turbo loader...
