Baixei um jogo com extensão .bas e não sei como rodá-lo no emulador MSX, como faço?? já tentei run "nome_do_arquivo.bas" mas ta dando erro de arquivo nao encontrado ou disco offline...
alguem sabe a sintaxe correta do comando run ou se devo usar outro comando para abrir esse arquivo??

obrigado a todos!

----------------------------------
I recently downloaded a .bas file but I do not know how to open it with my MXS Emulator, i've tried run "filename.bas" but i get either file not found or disk offline message. does anyone know the rigth syntax to use for command run or any other command i should use instead??

thanks a lot!!

If you use blueMSX, you have 2 options :

1 - Create a dsk file with DiskManager that you'll find on the RuMSX site, drag and drop the .bas file to the window of the new dsk file in DiskManager, save the dsk file, then run blueMSX with this dsk file inserted in the virtual drive A

2 - Use the dir as dsk feature of blueMSX : create a new directory on your PC harddisk, put the .bas file in this directory, then run blueMSX with this PC directory inserted in the virtual drive A

In both cases, when you come on the blue MSX screen, you will be in MSX-BASIC. Type then RUN "filename.bas" and press on RETURN (ENTER on the PC keyboard)

thanks a lot!! I followed option 1 and it did work just fine! thanks to you I can now revive my childhood days playing the castle!!! lol

Of course the same counts for openMSX
