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.

Hey all,

A buddy of mine has some old commodore PET and C64 programs he has written back in the day and wanted me to see if I can port them to CMM2.

I was wondering if some of the guru's here could recommend the most efficient way to do this (apart from just going line by line and rewriting them entirely).

I can already see some of the PEEKs & POKE's that interacted with the PET/C64 memory directly could likely be rewritten to suit MMbBasic but any pointers would be appreciated for this humble novice.

Transpilers between the common dialects of 80's BASIC and MM Basic. Mmmmmm that would be interesting.

I thought it would be interesting to have a transpiler to go between BBC Basic and MMBASIC, particularly procedures/subroutines, and do/loop until <-> repeat/until

For some things, you can write a sub in CMM2 to implement what was a command in another version of basic.
