C64 Basic Upgrade

[RobertB]

I know of no BASIC extension that comes on plug-in ROM for the C64 (no space left on the original ROM for any enhancements).  Thus, all the BASIC extensions came on cartridge or on disk.  A nearly complete listing of the extensions is at

http://www.npsnet.com/danf/cbm/languages.html#BASIC-extenders

The list does not seem to include BASIC 4.0 which was in the Better Working Turbo Load 'N Save cartridge nor the BASIC 4.5 which was in RUN magazine issues 18-20.

I have the Super Expander on Vice X64 and maybe Simons Basic. I hear that Simons has more memory.

Don't forget about Tuned Simons Basic (TSB) which corrects the errors of the original and also gives more commands.  A link for TSB is at

At that webpage above, the relatively new DotBASIC is listed there.  DotBASIC is a very capable BASIC extension.  The official DotBASIC webpage is at
