Version 1.1 fixes a crashing screen editor bug in top left corner and adds optional 32k memory expansion (hold down c= during Basil reset). Also there's now a third disk full of PET programs and a PET port of my Pancakes game originally written for The C64 Cassette 50 Charity Competition (previously also ported to VIC 20).

Basil currently runs most PET basic programs, even a bunch of those with some machine code subroutines and also a few all machine code programs (as long as they don't disable IRQ). Do not expect it to run any modern PET games or demos :)

"Basil is a PET Emulator for Commodore 64, inspired by Jim Butterfield's One-Line PET Emulator shown in Robin Harbron's 8-Bit Show And Tell.

Basil emulates CB2 sound, both PET character sets, various keyboard models, shift key register, joystick, jiffy clock, screen retrace bit, disables color control codes and remaps the tape buffer. Basil runs patched C64 KERNAL ROM and patched copy C64 BASIC, remapping many zeropage POKE's and PEEK's to corresponding C64 locations (such as cursor location, key buffer, memory pointers, USR function address).

Basil even adds that one extra space before each line number in LIST, just like PET does. First half of PET BASIC ROM is included as a memory image, because many programs check bytes in memory range $c000-$c3ff to detect PET ROM version."
