Or you could simply use a Windows VM or WINE under MacOS with almost no performance hit. VirtualBox is free, Parallels is better. You can even use the USB passthrough support if you want. Atari800MacX is a fine emulator as well with a good disk editor built in and WUDSDN will run natively. SIO2OSX is also great for peripheral and transferring files to Atari. You just need the FTDI serial drivers. You can even run the ARM version of Winblows or Linux in a VM on the recent ARM Macs if you have the cash for one. WINE/Crossover works well on Intel.

Mark Simonson Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Thanks for the suggestions. I might just try some of those ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 @Justin Payne I experienced bugs with previous versions. I quickly tested new version (with W10 64) and I was able to save and load a .mic image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Philsan Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I had the same problem. I made a Graphics 7 four colors image, I saved it a couple of times, I ended the program, I started it again, I loaded the image and I got a black screen: image0.gr7 @tebe could you please help? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This file is empty (00 00 00 00 00 00 ...) Did you have more windows open with graphics or just one window ? Did you use the ctrl+s (save) shortcut or did you select 'save ass...'

+Philsan Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Just one window open and Save as, then Save (or disk icon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I selected the "Save ass" because when I loaded it back up, "ass" is what I got. 🤣 Edited August 20, 2022 by Justin Payne 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxC0FFEE Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 @Mark Simonson you might be interested to hear that there's an attempt to make an IDE (using VS code) for fastbasic, and that has mac compatibility. I just got it working on my M1 Macbook Pro and successfully compiling the starter project! https://github.com/EricCarrGH/fastbasic-starterproject hat tip to @Savetz et al at ANTIC Podcast for their latest ep in which they mentioned this. Maybe now I can get back in the tenliner game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Simonson Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 @OxC0FFEE Ooh, thanks. I did hear them talking about it on the podcast, but forgot. I'll try that when I get a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
