 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Sorry, but what is "PWA"? I tried to compile it, but my MINT crashed with error messages... I was hoping there was a browser version available for download... Frank |

Sorry, Progressive web app, you just load the app from here: https://jvanderberg.github.io/PicoMiteAllVersions/ and follow the instructions in the help popup to install it. If you have specific compilation error messages let me know. This currently builds in linux in github, and on linux in a remote development I use (Ubuntu?) Edited 2026-05-19 05:00 by jvanderberg |

Where is atlas.bmp used in probe_sprite_move.bas? |

It went missing in a cleanup - I restored it. In general the demos aren't particularly well thought out or organized, it's just a collection of stuff I put together over time. I think this was just to proof out my port of TILEMAP |

I've created windows, mac and linux binaries for the simulator. https://github.com/jvanderberg/PicoMiteAllVersions/releases/tag/desktop-latest. Let me know if that works on linux. Edited 2026-05-19 13:16 by jvanderberg |

Confirmed, Appimage works on Ubuntu 20.04, have not tried 24.04 yet. Nice !! Have not yet found how to stop running program (ctrl-C don't work). Change screen size stops running program. Strange : When you run a program, and it throws an error, it runs the previous program. Thank you for this version. Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Works for me sometimes I found that typing NEW seems to work  |

Thanks. If you run things from the editor, all it's doing is typing 'run "program.bas"' - so if there's another program already running, odd things could happen. I think most of the programs will take 'ESC' to exit. Does control-C universally exit programs in the stock MMBasic? If so, I might be missing a keyboard or runtime hook. Changing the screen size reboots the simulator. The mode command will change screen size without a reboot. The config menu allows you to map modes to resolutions. |

Thank you, Windows Version also runs fine. Is it possible to set additional modes? For example, the RP2 HDMI supports several modes at 320x240 and 640x480, just with a different bit depth 'no comment |

The mode mapping is in the config  It doesn't really address bit depth, and I am don't remember what bit depth the simulated framebuffer is, but I think it's high, 16 or 24 bits. |

 Yes, I realise that, I may have expressed myself badly..I was thinking of a way to choose between several modes for a given resolution 'no comment |

Mac OS version is available here: https://github.com/jvanderberg/PicoMiteAllVersions/releases/tag/desktop-latest You will have to down the security dance where you go into the security menu and override it three times to be able to run it. |

silly question: I think the Desktop Application is an electron app. When I create a .bas file in the editor and save it "test1.bas" it will appear in the list on the left side. is it uploaded? is it possible to save local? i will further try to understand this... |
||||
| jvanderberg Regular Member Joined: 06/05/2026 Location: United StatesPosts: 41 |
It is an electron app. Just click the download icon next to the file, or there's also a download all icon. |

| hhtg1968 Senior Member Joined: 25/05/2023 Location: GermanyPosts: 201 |
ok. but i think while running the electron app the .bas files are not local. i have to upload a .bas file to run it. is this correct? perhaps i do not understand the system. sometimes i program in javascript for a html-site and I know the script may not access to the local file system. so I have to download the content that I or the javascript-script has created. it is important for me to unterstand this. and: thank you for the great version of mmbasic! |
