Quote:What text editor are you using? The files are in UTF-8 format

I'm just using a text viewer from File Commander.

Okay, I see what's happening. I need to recreate the bas files using the

-u 2asc

Doing that gives:

15 Y=SQR PI : INPUT "ENTER RANDOM NUMBER? ";Y

Quote:The text files are mainly intended for someone hand-entering the programs - the .bin/.tap/.wav files should be relatively immune from encoding issues, and the emulator should be able to load from one of those formats reliably.

Actually, the text files are very useful for use with the Pokecom GO emulator for Android. It's a very nice emulator. But it loads/saves as straight text files. It appears to be text files in msdos - no UTF-8. It does not use wav or tap files. So it should just be a simple matter for me to re-create the bas files in ascii format.

I'll try some of the tap files today with Olivier's emulators.
