Blitzer1001 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) Hey all! I was trying to make a port for m.u.l.e to the 2600. I normally never get this error when i compile but when i tried compiling m.u.l.e for the first time i got the following error message: (1) Parse error: unrecognized character "´" Does anyone know how i can fix this? I tried looking in the code for myself but found nothing. I have attached the code. I am using windows 10 if it makes any difference. Thanks for reading!

+splendidnut Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 The file you uploaded is a bit weird... Firefox warned that it might be malware. Using a hex editor, I found that the first three bytes (EF BB BF) look like some kind of unicode marker. Here's a version that gets rid of those: MULE.bas 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/362463-q-parse-error/#findComment-5421993 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked for solutions here on the forum and found that it means that it can't find the files that are listed, however, i don't know where to find those files.

+splendidnut Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Those are undefined symbols... 'qtcontroller' can be ignored, as that's more of a warning and usually not seen if everything else compiles correctly. The issue is that 'note' has not been defined. In batariBasic, you need to 'dim' any variables that you're going to use. More information on that can be found here: https://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories-batari-basic-commands.html#variables 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/362463-q-parse-error/#findComment-5422018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
