Thanks for that info - missed that it isn't a place for responses. A new thread perhaps in hardware support one (viewforum.php?f=11) makes the most sense to me, since it covers what users need to know to update their physical systems.
Yes, that's an announce-only forum to prevent spam and abuse. Issues with the release, updates, and other questions about the operating system and firmware can go here: X16 Software SupportDragWx wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 5:33 pmIt seems to be impossible to post or reply in the "Official Software" forum, sadly. Further discussion on the r47 release would need to take place in a new thread somewhere else.Edmond D wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 4:55 pm There is a thread on this topic - see viewtopic.php?p=32594&hilit=ROM+Update#p32594
which covers the emulator and the hardware.
Consider posting any follow up questions in that thread to avoid everything blending together in this one about VPoke.
They are. $030D is the X register; $030E is the Y register.
Yes, there are many languages available on the X-16 platform. Thanks to the emulator, plus a long history of BASIC V2.0 and general 6502 assembly the higher level languages have evolved/adapted before the hardware actually shipped. I wish I had time to learn and use them all, or even keep track of everything is available. It's a delight to have so many options, but a curse not to have the time.
I'm unsure of what you mean by "rethink", could you please explain further.
Yes, there are many advantages of the X16 compared to the retro machines that inspired it.
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it, just like many here on the forum. I think the X16 could be fun for any age, but I think it is really person dependant.
I'm in Canada and it did take some time to get an X16, but I feel it was worth the wait. I have little experience with international ordering off the continent, other than wait times increase and shipping costs can be significant.
If you are talking about people who program, there are a lot left over from the Commodore days The X16 will allow more people to take on the joys and pains of BASIC.
I am having fun so far with my limited time (and effort.) For me being able to dedicate time to it right now is very hard, I've got too many projects I need to complete beforehand.
Can't help but get some on ya?

I'm not following your comment "This sys also does the basic slowly." Could you please elaborate?

I use this "basload".
when I have 30-40 goto in it, you can tell that this basic from the x16
has to work hard and affects the speed.
I'm looking for other programming languages to make good use of the x16 system. The system from x16 has been developed extremely well.
I'm starting now with MadPascal, it makes a good impression and also gives me space to realize my ideas. I also like to develop programs with my own commands.
Prog8 is also good, but sometimes I can't figure out where the commands you enter go.
The x16 emulator is super good and is constantly being further developed.
For me the emulator of the x16 is the "x16".
I probably won't get to know the hardware in Germany.
greeting
Thanks for the reply and explanation. Gotos have been a topic of debate for a long time, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goto#Criticism) but are necessary in some cases. Yes, others have mentioned BASIC is interpreted, so in general it is slower than languages that get compiled. That being said, changing a line of source code, then recompiling the program, followed by transferring the resulting code to the X16, then running it does take time as well.funkheld wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 7:28 pm -------------------------------

I've heard that Switzerland is a nice neutral country where German is spoken. <grin>
