Geneve Advanced BASIC v 4.08

this is going to be a short blog. @9640News & @InsaneMultitasker has just released the latest version of Geneve Advanced BASIC v 4.08. They cleaned up the last of the bugs and I had a small part of editing the manual. Here is the download. Enjoy. NOTE: Recently I found some with the commands concerning SPRITE usage. CALL DISTANCE gives bad values and CALL SPRITE will error out sometimes with a 'bad value' in the X & Y values even when they are good.   ABASIC-408.zip

creating a software PC for the Geneve: Part 1

this below is my Geneve. It's a Geneve created using a Windows 7 PC and MAME. Here is a bad video I made of the startup procedure. I stripped Windows 7 of all badging in start up to just a black screen till the MAME kicks in giving the illusion of a real Geneve PC. I added an old IBM keyboard, HP ball mouse and a new NES style joystick to really give it that old-school look. Mouse works, joystick works and all software runs off the 3 internal v-drives.

Golden Oldies in AdvBASIC for Geneve

Put together a short list of some XB golden oldies and converted them into AdvBASIC for the Geneve. Added AdvBASIC features to some of the programs, like 80 column or multi-color font, and others I just converted with little changes. Here are games: Awari barricade (was already a ABASIC program) chicken plus civil war (made 80 column) - note: the 80 column ones I converted I tried to make them look like they were being seen on an old monochrome monitor of some sort.

TI-BASE running from HD added to MAME Geneve

TIBASE on the Geneve   In the updated .HD files for the Geneve emulation (in TI99RESOURCES) I’ve included a new TIBASE for the Geneve running from hard drive. It runs from the FDRIVE.HD (hard-drive 2) in HDS2.TIB. And (recommended) saves to the GDRIVE, HDS3.TIBFILES. It runs with the TI99 E/A Geneve module. (I tried to get it to run with the Geneve EXEC but the SELECT command kept blowing up the TIBASE when executed with EXEC.) To run TIBASE from the Geneve I created a batch file
