Simons' Basic EXTENSION available.
Posted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 6:15 am
Everyone knows standard C64 basic V2. And most of you know Simons' Basic (SB) with 144 extra basic commands.
But only a few have heard of the SB Extension with another 91 basic commands and important bug fixes.
One little problem, it is on a tape. This meant long loading times and then it is not reset proof.
So i wanted to find a disk version but didn't succeed. Next step: crack the programm on tape.
In a joined effort we succeeded in doing so.
Now there is a .TAP file and a .D64 version. To use this SB Extension the SB cartridge MUST be installed.
Manuals can be downloaded from the DLH website.
