GFA Basic on a Falcon

[guus.assmann]

Is there a version of GFA Basic that works on a Falcon?

And what mode or configuration should I use then.

I do have some versions, among which a 3.6 that works on a TT 030. But this doesn't work on the Falcon.

Where can I get a working version for the Falcon?

3.6TT does work on the falcon. You just need to start it from either a TT or an ST compatible resolution. GBE will work as well.

I second Christos but I also want to detail his statement.

 

640x480 16 colors VGA mode works best with 3.6TT but I would strongly recommend using GBE, esp. if you are already running a multitasking OS like Mint or MagiC on your Falcon.

Yesterday I've tested it, and if I choose compatibility-modus it works fine.

But the it's only in 2 colors of course.

 

I've been using no other things than the most rudimentary setup. With the exception of a CF-card instead of the IDE-HD.

 

What's GBE ? I'm not familiar with this.

GBE is a short name for a revised GFA-Basic Editor I created. Unlike the old editor that doesn't play well with multi-tasking, mine does. In fact mine does not play well with single-tasking. Its 100% token compatible with the v3.6 and many bugs squashed in the compiler, linker, and library. Can be found here: http://userpages.bright.net/~gfabasic/html/gfabasic.htm

 

If you are using plain old SingleTOS, use the old gfa editor.

If you are using some tasking OS, you have two options:

Old GFA editor with some patch, like Bastard (yes, funny name for a patch) or GBE.
