Or you could wait for MMB4L. :)
Or MMB for Windows might run under wine on the Pi.

Either might be quicker than waiting for a SDL version. Don't count on anything making full use of everything on the Pi though.

SDL was/is my original plan for adding high-res graphics to MMB4L, but we will see when/if I get there. Also @lizby is experimenting with using the PiCromite high-res graphics code within MMB4L.

As I've indicated elsewhere I think there is every chance we will have 2 flavours of MMBasic that can be run on both Windows and Linux (inc. Pi) within the next couple of years. One maintained by Peter and (if I stay the course) the other by myself though liberally borrowing from Peter's work. It's not the ideal situation to be in, but I guess it beats having no versions
