New version 3.04 Beta 2
You can update from the menu Help–>Update Check.
This version has the tape loading/saving system reworked and now it works with all rom versions, Beta 1 worked only with Version 2 ROM. It is now more accurate to the real newbrain. There is support for 2 Tapes as in the original and you can load from one and save to the other or load anyway you want.
To load/save from tape 2 you can issue these commands:
- Poke 19,2 (that sets the default loading device to tape 2) and then load/save as usual.
- Openin#2,2 and then Load#2 this does not change the default device
- Openout#2,2,“filename” and then Save#2 this does not change the default device
Notes on Loading/Saving
Some files on the Newbrain are saved with bigger buffer and those should be loaded with a special command like Load “*32” or Load “*56”. You can use the Load “*56” even if the file was saved with “*32” but not vice versa.
You can also save your files with bigger buffer using this command Save “*32:filename” or Save “*56:filename”.
Filenames should not have extensions.
On the emulator these kind of files have filenames starting with 32 like “32 Monopoly.bas” so in order to load this file you need to select the file and then type Load “*32” and then Run of course.
