I did a test replacing the sprites with a different sprite. I did not get the error. I was testing with the to-be-released version, so it might be workingn now because of something i've changed. Allthough I can't relate it to what I did change. Or its something with your bin-files. Feel free to send them, then I'll have a look.

Looking at the code there are a few things to consider:
- You are loading the sprites in a memory area which overlaps with the screen 128 bitmap layer (in case you plan to use it)
- You are loading the screen.bin sprite into text mode tilemap area. This might be deliberate, just let you know
- ADDSPRITE expects an existing filename. By supplying an empty tring the BVLOAD (that is called in the background) will fail and will make the led be lit constantly.

I do not know what your endgoal is, but I think its worth considering having nxtBasic handle the memorylocation by using ADDSPRITE to add them all.

• Fixed several double used labels on the assembly side of nxtBasic

• Fixed incorrect compile time error when using array as function param

• Fixed bug with INPUT# returning a null-byte when eof was reached

• Fixed bug with 4bpp color depth in ADDSPRITE method

• Fixed bug in LEN-function

• Fixed bug where there are comments on the same line on a CONST definition

• Support for MacOS

• CURSCREENMODE: returns the current screen-mode

• GETROWS: returns number of text mode rows

• GETCOLS: returns number of text mode columns

• OPENFILE: an easier way to open files for reading and writing: handle=OPENFILE("Filename",READ)

• SETDEVICE {devicenr}: sets the device all file i/o related function should use (only needed if device is not 8)

• SETCOL: locate for column only

• SETINDENT: sets a default indentation for the PRINT command

• CURDIR$ - returns the current directory

• DIRLIST/DIRITEM: to retrieve directoy listing

• New example programs:

• - tetris.bas - a text mode tetris clone

• - browse-dir.bas - browse through your directory structure using DIRLIST/DIRITEm functions

• Changed the internal True and False statements to True=-1 and False=0, altered the AND OR and NOT operators. They now (also) function as bitwise operators

• Changed all (but OPEN)-statements to use the SETDEVICE or device 8.

• PLAYZCM and PLAYZSM do not longer require a filehandle, that'll be automaticly arranged by nxtBasic

• Changed the Modulus operator from % to MOD, because it was interfering with binary assignment: a=%00110110

in Germany, at 76, I can only play with the x16 emulator.

the emulator is great...great, thank you.
and this nxtbasic (compiler) is great...great, thank you.

I've just discovered this nxtbasic.
I took a break from the x16 emulator because I'm not really into the speed of this basic.
a new era is beginning now...(kamala harris......) for the x16/emulator.
is this nxtbasic for the x16 always free to use?

thanks.
