I get a ?STRING TOO LONG ERROR IN 380 when I try it.

Also, is there no way to skip the intro?

ESC twice Skips the Intro. (I need to document that) It gets Line to Long in R44. If you list the line that uses LINPUT (380) and Change it to INPUT it will run. In R45 LINPUT is fixed. I did mention that it requires R45.

The only real problem with INPUT is if the CLUE in the HWORDS#.DAT file has a comma it will be cut off there. With LINPUT you get the whole thing.

Hmm, makes me wonder if there is a place to PEEK to determine the ROM version. The BANNER command shows it, so I suspect it's hiding somewhere in that address space... Maybe not to support all the versions in a single BAS, but can give a warning "time to update buddy!"

Yes, 00:FF80 is the current ROM version. As of r45, positive values are official releases, negative values (2's complement) are prereleases.

I downloaded the Official Emulator. Mine is showing $FF
I have yet to check on Hardware

I just now downloaded the official release from Github, and it gives me "45" as expected:

If you're getting FF, it's supposed to mean that you're running a custom ROM instead of an official release.

[kelli217]

Right... if, for example, you downloaded one of the recent bugfix builds and flashed that to your machine then you won't get a release or release candidate version number. There's been one fix for the joystick controllers, and most recently a fix for the randomly glitching mouse.

I believe MooingLemur is starting to put together a new release candidate, so there should shortly be rom.bin files that come up as -46.
