Welcome to the P2-Retromachine-Basic wiki!

The P2 Retromachine Basic is a Basic interpreter for a Propeller 2 platform with an external RAM. Currently tested/developed versions work on P2-EC32 The Eval board with 4-bit PSRAM attached, that was supported up to 0.17, is not supported at this moment due to video driver change. The 4-bit video driver will be synchronized later.

The goal is to make the Propeller 2 platform a fully independent computer that can be programmed and used without any external PC, with a nostalgic feeling added. The look and feel is selectable from 5 different modes: 8-bit Atari, PC with amber/green/white monitor and Atari ST mono.

The power of a retro style Basic interpreter is that you can make a powerful program in a very short code, in a short time. The interpreter is now at a pre-beta stage. Several functions still has to be added, and the code has to be debugged and cleaned. Still a lot can change in the future versions.

The current version of the interpreter needs a digital video accessory board at P0, AV accessory board at P8 and a serial host accessory board at P16.
