Re: Hardware and Firmware Errors and Bugs

The BASIC ROM includes an undocumented function FREE(). I guess that it was intended to return the amount of free memory, but in practice it just duplicates one of the other functions (EXP if memory serves me). Lack of space in the ROM for the extra code?

Re: Feature request "GUI for Windows"

There are actually two different types of launcher possible: I) A launcher with a dialog that has many spinners, menus and checkboxes and attempts to provide access to as many of the MEMU command line options as possible.

Re: Feature request "GUI for Windows"

Okay, okay, okay ... guilty as charged. I don't really do social media, but since Dave has blown my cover in the Memotech world anyway, here I am. I purchased my Memotech new.
