[AQUARIUS] .caq aquarius-basic tokenizers needed

[nitrofurano]

i'm looking for .txt (basic) to .caq tokenizers, just like zmakebas (for zx-spectrum - http://www.svgalib.org/rus/zmakebas.html )

do someone know where tools like this can be find, or which kind of documentation can be useful for us starting coding it?

 

( and btw, is there somewhere some ready type-in aquarius-basic snippets to test with it? )

I don't remember exactly where it is at the moment, but Martin posted some information about the ".CAQ" file format to the Aquarius discussion group. As I recall, I had asked about it when I first began thinking about converting some cassette games to cartridge format for the Aquaricart (I ultimately used a much simpler method instead), so it probably would have been just over a year ago.

I think nitrofurano wants to do something with the BASIC information in the caq file, the file format I have discussed was more like the header and footers of the CAQ file. Here is a list of all commands & functions and their code numbers for the Aquarius standard ROM. For a full reference you should disassemble the Extended Basic and Aquarius QDD rom.

Is this the same idea as the last comment in this topic:

If so, I think it's a great idea and needed until someone ports ZX Basic to the Aquarius!
