Description
G-BASIC is an MSX-BASIC extension that allows to use the Yamaha V9990 VDP in your own programs. It was developed in 1999 by Koen Van Hartingsveldt of Sunrise.
Most recent version (1.0), improved by Albert Beevendorp aka BiFi of The New Image group, has been released in 2011 and is available on the TNI website.
An MSX2 or higher computer with at least 128kB RAM and a disk drive is required. To avoid memory conflicts, it's recommended to start it with MSX-DOS2 enabled.
To install this extension, you just need to enter BLOAD"GBASIC.BIN",R
