Wow! I've just been looking over the changes. You've done an incredible amount of work. Thank you - it is very much appreciated.

Many, many thanks, Gerry. Rushing over to test this right now.  

VAR SAVE/RESTORE working perfectly  

In b11, booting to a prompt, the SD-busy LED would remain ON until I addressed the SD. Now it is off in b12  

Loving the CMM2  

Thanks again  

Edit: Correction, I had somehow pushed the LED away from the window. It still remains ON until I do something like "FILES"

Not a problem, just FYI.

The red LED will also illuminate when a USB
keyboard is plugged in and successfully communicates with MMBasic – it then reverts to normal activity on
the first read/write to the SD card.

Moved from separate thread (my bad)  



Is it supposed to work with SPRITE SHOW?







I get screen flicker for both SHOW and HIDE.

Update: No flicker in MODE 9,16

In the editor:

SPRITE NEXT is fully colour coded  

SPRITE HIDE/SHOW: HIDE/SHOW remain white

You have been spoiled by MMEdit!
The CMM2 editor knows the keywords/commands.
SPRITE NEXT is white because NEXT is a keyword in its own right.
If SHOW and HIDE are added they would be white where ever they appear.
I will have to see how many others fall into same category and think about it.

Short answer I don't know never played with it.
Can you post some working code in the original thread.
Maybe you need PAGE COPY?

Hi Gerry, PAGE COPY was always my plan but I'm currently on G1 and don't have that option for mode 11. The flicker won't be a problem for me, the report was just an FYI.

Man, I'm loving the SPRITE stuff. I always associated sprites with games and so I skipped over but heck no. These work for pop-up menus, buttons, etc. Fantastic stuff

I was wondering. What was happening with the CMM2 version?

CMM2 V6.00.00 Beta14 Update
The CMM2_Beta.zip download package on Geoff's website is now updated with Beta14.
CMM 6.00.00 CMM2_Beta.zip

Fixes Flash Not Erased error when binary copy of Font, CSub or CFunction pushes
program to next 128K flash segement. Introduced at conversion to 16bit command tokens.

Fixes Font7 % character being displayed mirrored.
LOAD BMP now uses BmpDecoder.c from picomites in lieu of previous MS version.
  Dithering is not supported.
  The new decoder supports these BMP files:
  1-bit (monochrome) - 2 colors with palette
  4-bit - 16 colors with palette
  8-bit - 256 colors with palette
  16-bit - typically 5-5-5 RGB or 5-6-5 RGB
  24-bit - 8-8-8 RGB (true color, most common)
  BI_RGB (0) - uncompressed (most common)
  BI_RLE8 (1) - 8-bit run-length encoding
  BI_RLE4 (2) - 4-bit run-length encoding
MM.VER now returns a value to show release candidates as for latest Picomite.
 i.e. V6.00.00.xx where xx is 00-49 for Beta releases.
                       xx is 50-99 for RC releases.
MATH CRC12 function corrected to return 12bit result. (was incorrectly 16)
MATH(CROSSING function Bug fix from Picomite.
 

Previous notes from Beta13

CMM2 V6.00.00 Beta13 Update
HELP command alternative used at the command line if file a:/help.txt exists otherwise the CMM2 inbuilt help is used. The Editor still uses the inbuilt help.
help.txt has same structure as Picomites.

Fixed bug in MSGBOX function introduced on conversion to 16bit command tokens.
Fix issue where an explicit END command was required at the end of a program when OPTION AUTORUN ON was used.
Fixes two bugs in structures as per Picomite 6.02.01RC8
Fix bug in MEMORY INPUT when length is greater than 8, MEMORY INPUT fails with an End of File error.   see here
Fix to prevent HEX$( , BIN$( and OCT$( being replaced when part of a function name.
Function POS returned. Was temporarily changed to MM.POS in Beta11.
