@username@:

the file "Creativision Keypad Matrix.pdf" reports SHIFT to be selected via PA[0] and CTRL via PA[1], but on the source code (pia_intf.c) it's the opposite

I thought SHIFT is on the left controller and is selected via PA2 and CTRL via PA3...?

What is the correct file format for converting name.bas to name.cas using the @username@'s txt2cas utility?
The basic programs here don't seem to convert correctly for the creatiVision emulator to load them for the CV emulation.
The 'name.cas' versions available here work however so am I doing something wrong?
Can the creatiVision emulator load simple txt listings without conversion?
Are there cas versions of all the Basic programs available somewhere?

Scratch that, my fault, I was using the wrong utility, works just fine.
Still is there any reason why the emulator couldn't also load plain text listings?

The emulator does just that - it emulates the cassette input.

This is why I wrote the txt converter.

Fair enough.
