In order to compile and run the example, you need to have the DCMOTO emulator, and in particular that the dcmoto
executable is accessible.
Then, type this command on the command line and on the emulator:
# Linux ugbc.pc128op audio_instrument_01.bas -o example.k7 dcmoto (choose BASIC 128) CLEAR,&H2FFF: LOADM"CASS:",R: EXEC # Windows ugbc.pc128op.exe audio_instrument_01.bas -o example.k7 dcmoto (choose example.k7) (choose BASIC 128) CLEAR,&H2FFF: LOADM"CASS:",R: EXEC
In order to compile and run the example, you need to have the DCMOTO emulator, and in particular that the dcmoto
executable is accessible.
Then, type this command on the command line and on the emulator:
# Linux ugbc.pc128op audio_instrument_01.bas -o example.k7 dcmoto (choose BASIC 128) CLEAR,&H2FFF: LOADM"CASS:",R: EXEC # Windows ugbc.pc128op.exe audio_instrument_01.bas -o example.k7 dcmoto (choose example.k7) (choose BASIC 128) CLEAR,&H2FFF: LOADM"CASS:",R: EXEC
In order to compile and run the example, you need to have the VICE emulator, and in particular that the xvic
executable is accessible.
Then, type this command on the command line:
# Linux ugbc.vic20 audio_instrument_01.bas -o example.prg xvic --memory 24k example.prg # Windows ugbc.vic20.exe audio_instrument_01.bas -o example.prg xvic --memory 24k example.prg
In order to compile and run the example, you need to have the Speccy emulator, and in particular that the speccy
executable is accessible.
Then, type this command on the command line:
# Linux ugbc.zx audio_instrument_01.bas -o example.tap Speccy example.tap # Windows ugbc.zx.exe audio_instrument_01.bas -o example.tap Speccy example.tap
In order to compile and run the example, you need to have the openMsx or the BlueMSX emulator, and in particular that its executable is accessible.
Then, type this command on the command line:
# Linux ugbc.msx1 audio_instrument_01.bas -o example.rom openmsx -cart example.rom # Windows ugbc.msx1.exe audio_instrument_01.bas -o example.rom openmsx -cart example.rom
