https://gitlab.com/sentaro21/cbasic/-/blob/master/FX/Manual_EN.txt?ref_type=heads#L1265

also works in normal basic, tho it runs a little too fast; 0.8sec instead of 1sec
but you could always just stick a bunch of random instructions in the middle to slow it down
doing N→N:N→N:N→N almost slows it down perfectly on my calc

Very good, a brand new version of C.Basic just landing !!
That's a wonderful news !!

The slowdown observed on fxCG50 is really strange, especially if it is not observed on Graph 90+E.
There are definitely differences between both models, especially when geared with OS 3.80.1 (3.80.0212).

The visible difference is the appearance of the "CALCUL" in slot 1 in addition to "EXE/MAT" now push to slot I for G90+E while fx-CG50 is unchanged. We may have some deeper changes that could create issues with some addins. But we just scratched the vernish, without checking what's deep under the carpet.

The storage is weird. You should also be aware that C.Basic has been seen to cause storage memory glitches with varying severity, but always difficult to deal with (I assume you've seen this before). I don't know whether C.Basic itself is responsible, but overall please keep in mind that storage memory is fragile so avoiding read/writes to files when possible is generally a good idea.

Another random piece of info : in Fugue (G-III / fx-CG), reserving chunks is slow, so creating files or appending to the end of files is slow. If a file already exists and the new version of the file is as long or longer, it is quite a bit faster to overwrite the existing file rather than delete it and create it anew.

@Sentaro21
(I tried to post this on e-Gadget but failed many times even though I've checked the verification code carefully. Is it because of the FC2 server auth error? Anyway I will post here instead.)

Thanks for the attempt to fix the [@MainMem] bug, but I still don't understand the way C.Basic saves file. You see, normally in a folder in PC, we right-click the blank space and go to "New" section to create a new file, and it is saved in the current folder. Right-clicking the folder there does not show the "New" section. But in C.Basic, creating a new file while the cursor position is on a folder saves the file inside that folder instead of the current location. That's what I mean "counterintuitive" in the previous comment on e-Gadget. (^^;

Also, currently C.Basic does not support viewing nested folders inside another folder well. Rather, for instance, when clicking "folder2" in "folder1", the path becomes "root\folder2" instead of "root\folder1\folder2". This suggests that path variable might not be working properly.

It appears that C.Basic's filesystem is based on WSC & FVM. It should be noted that it only works for the legacy CASIOWIN filesystem, which supports only 1 level of folder. The support for viewing subfolders has been previously done by gbl08ma in his Utilities add-in for Prizm calculators (https://github.com/gbl08ma/utilities), so you may take a look at its source code.

The number of accesses isn't quite the same, I believe. The number of clusters written is likely the same, but if you delete the old files its backing clusters are "released" and then when creating it again you have to allocate new clusters. AFAIK this is a lot slower than the actual writing.

Hence, it is preferable to overwrite the existing file in order to reuse existing allocated clusters. If the new version of the file is shorter, this leaves data at the end, which may not be desirable (I don't know whether there is a file truncation function). However, if the version of the file is as long as or longer than the original, overwriting will generate the same result as recreating while saving cluster allocations. From the limited testing I have made (when saving games in CGDoom) I believe this is always a better option.

If you ever try it out, I would be interested to see your results to check whether my analysis is correct.


So how do you save to the root folder of the storage memory if you have only folders at the root?

With Fugue (G-III / fx-CG), files behave mostly like normal files on a PC. If you write while the cursor is not positioned at the end of the file, existing content is overwritten. After opening the file, the cursor is at the start of the file (unless you use append mode). Therefore, the normal sequence of opening, writing and closing works equally when creating a new file and overwriting an existing one.


Maybe if you have an F-key left available, you could keep both?

C.Basic seems to have trouble with deciphering the difference between lowercase and uppercase letters in program names
if you create a new program "A"
then try to create another new program "a"
it just takes you to the first program "A"

if you go to [F6][F6][F5] (→Mai). Main Memory
its possible to create 2 programs with the same letter (lower and uppercase)
but the Fav system can get corrupted

Create a program "A" and a 2nd one "a"
Fav both of them
now try to edit one of them
save and exit
notice that now both Fav items have the same name and point to the same program
but their filesizes are different

editing the other program will change both of them again

That was very quick
thank you

would you mind looking at https://www.planet-casio.com/Fr/forums/topic14738-27-cbasic-projets.html#selform2
List Ans and Mat Ans should be seperate
but currently they are not

TicksWait -N seems to wait 1 extra tick more than it should
It should display 128*4⇒512 ticks
but instead waits 128*5⇒640 ticks
waits for 10sec and 10ticks instead of just 1280 ticks

I cant seem to build the binary
I keep getting multiple errors like:
CBZ_setup.c(1368) : C2225 (E) Undeclared name "VarListRange"
CB_GraphFunc.c does not exist
Undefined external symbol "_StoreGraphXt"
Undefined external symbol "_CB_VarList"
etc

and Thanks again for this amazing Addin

not sure how far you want to support it
but C.Basic doesn't support CASIO's Base mode commands very much

Genuine CASIO Base Mode
notice the B in the top right corner
pressing [F2] (BASE) when creating a new program

when opening the program in C.Basic:
and, or and xor have extra spaces around them
xnor doesn't
not is all lowercase rather than PascalCase (Not)

dhbo, DecHexBinOct, Dec▶Hex▶Bin▶Oct▶ and ABCDEF currently isn't supported and just returns syntax error (same as Genuine CASIO in normal mode) [works as intended?]
xnor also returns syntax error [missing feature]
Neg and not causes the calto to hang [bug]
and, or and xor works perfectly fine [ ]

if I use C.Basic to copy the Base mode commands over to a normal basic program (casio's Base mode disables copy&paste).
only the binary operators work in Genuine CASIO basic
everything else results in syntax error or argument error

Here is the new updated version.

C.Basic for FX v2.47β　(updated 10/12/2023)
https://pm.matrix.jp/CB/CBASIC247beta01.zip

C.Basic for CG v1.47β　(updated 10/12/2023)
https://pm.matrix.jp/CB/CBASICCG147beta01.zip

(build01)
-Added a catalog function dedicated to C.Basic commands.([Shift]+[5] for FX version)
-Added mini-font display in file mode.
-Added ? Minifont display of command and variable display. (newly FX version)
(format)?([@][x][,y][,width][, "blank character"][,number of input digits][,R])
(Example) ?(@30,40,5,">",5)A
The value of A is displayed in mini-font at the current VRAM pixel coordinates (X=30,Y=40)
and waits for input. Blank spaces are filled with ">".
-Fixed a bug that the program freezes when using unsupported commands (internal code 0x7Fxx).
-Error display has been changed. Missing WhileEnd" and "Missing Switch".(ref.ErrorCode_List.txt)
-Disabled initialization of hidden RAM for non-GII models.
-Beep command can be interrupted by AC key.
-Fixed a bug in matrix and list initialization that caused an error if the RGB()HSV()HSL() command was the first one. (1.45 Embuged)
(Example) {RGB(255,0,255),123,456}
-Fixed a bug in which a file exceeding 4096 bytes could only be loaded with the Load(command.

-The Locate command and drawing specifications such as Text can now be specified as mathematical formulas by writing them in parentheses.
(Format 1) Locate x,y,Value/Strings[,N/O/R/V].
(Format 2) Locate x,y,Value/Strings[,(drawing specification)].
N:0 'normal
O:1 'or
R:2 'reverse
V:3 'reverse or
(Example) Locate 2,3,"ABC",(2)
Locate 2,3,"ABC",(R) ' R=2
Either
Locate 2,3,"ABC",R
are the same as

-FKeyMenu can now be used to specify formulas by writing the drawing specification in parentheses.
(Format 1) FKeyMenu( n[~m], "string"/icon number [,C/M/N/R/I/S/U/L [,icon color [,icon background color]]] )
(Format 2) FKeyMenu( n[～m], "string"/icon number [,(drawing specification) [,icon color [,icon background color]]] )
Numeric value (0-4) in basic drawing specification
C:( 0)Erase.
N:( 1)Normal white icon. (may be omitted)
R:( 2)Black icon with missing lower right corner.
I:( 3)Square black icon.
S:( 4) Black icon with border
The following modifiers are added to the basic drawing specification values.
U:( 16)Display string one dot above.
L:( 32)Extend the display range by 2 dots to the left and right.
M:( 64)Mask processing.
M:(128)Masks only the border. (FX version only)

(Example) FKeyMenu (1, "string",NULM)
FKeyMenu (1, "string",(1+16+32+64))
The above two will produce the same result.


Is there a function to disable the catalog function of the FX calc?

I don't think so - AFAIK this is a built-in feature of GetKey(). Maybe if you write your own GetKey() and handle other combinations (backlight, menu, setup, etc) manually, you could.
