[arda]

I think Basinc needs an official thread here too.

Basinc V1.77 is released today, for those who are interested.

it's at the same place as usual, >>> Here <<<.

Hi Arda, nice to see you on here. Thanks for your work i BasinC, it's a really nice tool.

Just a quick update, recently reported two not-so-important bugs are fixed, exe only, just overwrite old exe.

Dear [mention]arda[/mention],

can you please help me. I can´t open this .BAS-File in BASIn v1.77 or v1.78: https://forum.tlienhard.com/phpBB3/down ... p?id=12830
(Rename AUTOBOOT.BAS.TXT to AUTOBOOT.BAS before Loading).

Thanks for having a look.

That's because 1) it's not text and 2) it's not BASIC.

[mention]ZXDunny[/mention] Thank you for looking. I thought it´s a .BAS-File with a PLUS3DOS-Header. And after I´m unsuccessful with BASin, I opened it (via Drag n Drop) with "Remy´s NextBASIC encoder and decoder for Spectrum Next" https://zx.remysharp.com/bas/ and it opens OK, IIRC. But mosl likely I have to try again or have to create a new .BAS-File.

I think it's tokenized BASIC. Take a look at the ZX Editor: https://zx-modules.de/?page_id=46

OK. Thank you. I see, I have to read more about the various .BAS-Formats.

BASin only opens .bas files, which are text. Files saved directly from a +3 disk are not stored as text.

Is there a way to disable automatic Syntax Checking/Fixing with BasinC?

Or a some "own commands"?

I want to use/save a line:

Code: Select all

9900 SAVE *"test4.bas" LINE 100

with the asterisk used in +3DOS Syntax (esxDOS) but BasinC don´t accept this.
When I use "Run to Cursor (F4)" than I can save this in line BasinC but on restarting BasinC an reloading the File, BasinC automatically restores/fixes the line to "48k Standard"

Code: Select all

9900 SAVE "test4.bas" LINE 100

(=without asterisk).

[arda]

nope, sorry There is no +3DOS support in Basin or BasinC.
but you can temporarily use save !"filename" line 100 to use Ram Disk rather than another device. and when you import it into a +3DOS compatible environment you just swap ! with *

edit:
lol I just realized I've answered 2 years old question. Sorry, for faster replies please find me anytime at ZX Spectrum Discord Server.

Ok, the main problem of using new commands that come with spectranet or esxdos etc that they work by paging ROM to add more commands. Basinc is an emulator. Without proper roms it won't be able to use such commands like .tapein or save* etc. It's like trying to run a game that requires a special device attached to external port. The game in question here is all these new commands. Adding these commands isn't trivial. Executing them is impossible without proper shadow rom handling (which will broke basin's rom traps).

And note that V1.794 is the latest version of basinc at the time being, but 1.795 is in the way fixing more bugs (and introduce new ones ).
