Commander X16

(face palm). I thought the emulator required either a virtual SDcard or real SDcard (plugged into the same machine) in order to save files. I didn't realize you can bypass dealing with SDcards altogether and just write/save both source code files and binary programs in the same directory the emulato...

Another embarrasingly newb question: I'm on a Windows 10 machine and trying to cut some BASIC code from a plain-text file (in Notepad on the Windows machine) and paste it into EDIT on the current Commander X16 emulator (version r47). I know I can paste into the emulator's commandline, but how do I p...

Thank you! I've got it now, it makes much more sense to me to think of BASLOAD as a compiler, one that takes a plain-text file (a BASIC program) as input and compiles it into tokenized BASIC, output to RAM only. If you want to further save that program onto disk, in it's compiled state, it's best pr...

Ok but can it edit BASIC programs? I guess that's the part I'm not understading. Once you use BASLOAD to tokenize a plain-text BASIC program, is there a way to "un-tokenize" it back into plain-text form to work on some more?

Maybe I'm not understanding how the EDIT program works, need some assistance. Just using it to write a simple BASIC program: 10 FOR I = 1 to 10 20 PRINT I 30 NEXT I 40 END If I type this program in the following way: 1. EDIT "TEST.BAS" 2. Type in above program 3. Ctrl-O to save (same filen...

That was it, thanks for the help.

I modified the shortcut to launch the emulator with the -fsroot D:\ option instead of using -sdcard.

Thank you for the help!

I have a developer edition X16 working with an SD card, and I can move that SD card to my laptop (Windows 10) which has the X16 Emulator installed. When I run the emulator with the -sdcard flag, and set it to the D: drive (where my usb plug-in SD card is located), the emulator launches with "Ca...
