Re: A pair of Tiny BASICs
Probably not, as I only just heard of it and I don't know if all opcodes are implemented, only those needed to compile the Tiny BASICs

Re: A pair of Tiny BASICs
In my case I tried Gemini but it gave incorrect code eg non existent opcodes.
Claude was much better, but the real breakthrough came with the c based simulator and debugger is it could iterate without me in a tight loop, until my free account time was consumed, then wait 4hrs and continue.

I notice that at one point you use an instruction that is technically not part of the original 65C02 instruction set. It is one of those Rockwell extensions that is included in the W65C02S instruction set, though.

Re: A pair of Tiny BASICs
Evening,
The assembly has a directive for available ram, currently set to 4kbyte. So anywhere outside that works with kowalski simulator and my toy simulators.
Oops typo on Han’s, I’ll fix tomorrow.
Re license, chatgpt recommends MIT but even then there’s nothing to force people to comply. I’ll ...

Re: <2kbyte 6502 Tiny Basic?
Apologies if that sounded patronizing.
I downloaded the 1.4 Kowalski simulator and the first time I ran it it didnt work, but then I animated it and then it has been working properly ever since, so dunno?
Anyhow using Claude I created my own version of a 65c02 simulator so you could try that ...

Re: <2kbyte 6502 Tiny Basic?
Thats odd, which one do you mean, 4k or 2k version? Both seem to work fine for me
Did you enable terminal emulation in the settings?

Re: <2kbyte 6502 Tiny Basic?
And after a bit more wrestling with Claude, here is a < 2kbyte stripped down version that has further potential for hand optimization e.g. INSLINE/DELINE, DIV/MUL, Statement Dispatcher. Modern AI is amazing.
Currently about a dozen bytes free and is not tokenized, so about 5x slower than the ...

Re: <2kbyte 6502 Tiny Basic?
Hullo,
well its been a while since I originally posted asking for <2Kbyte tiny basic. So I had a go myself using Claude.
Attached is a file which will load into the (Superb) Kowalski emulator - it has a little BASIC program already in the program space you can LIST and RUN without having to type ...

Re: Cheap Video Questions
I making progress and created (multiple) schematics - 1st time using KiCAD, was impressed with the features, especially the Freerouting autorouter plugin.
This design is basically the answer to a question no-one asked - Since the 6502 was infamously low cost, Could the Sinclair Zx80 have used a ...

Re: Cheap Video Questions
Thanks Neil.
Ok thinking PAL is better as leaves more time for processing during V blank.
Would 4 line v sync pulse work and what start line is recommended? I was thinking line 292?

6502A/B/C Release dates
Hi,
just pondering on the evolution of NMOS 6502 increased clock speed variant before 65C02.
Anyone got any magazine links to appropriate articles?
Thx

Re: Cheap Video Questions
Thanks @barnacle. I'm still figuring this out, but I am getting confused about the 0.5us 'Equalization' pulses.
ZX80 didn't seem to bother, are they necessary?
