I'm sure this has been mentioned many times before, but I cant seem to find the command to switch between the 40 and 80 char. screens for the 128 emulator. I'm know I knew at one time but its been a few years, and I cant remember what to do. sigh.
Thanks
Allen

Re: Switching between C= 128 screens
Well, on a real C128 in 128 mode, you push the ESC key and then the X key, in order to switch screens. I don't know what those keys are on an emulator.

Re: Switching between C= 128 screens
I thought you merely typed
Ready?
Column 80 <CR>
Ready?
Column 40 <CR>
Esc is CHR$147 or something,
X is CHR$<nnn>
so you should be able to write a basic program to execute the CHR$,CHR$ Sequence. then just run the program . So you could in essence make your own little commands that you can run!!, but you should also be able to Peek and Poke your way to 80 Column Glory as well.. So maybe you could find a peek / poke map for the commodore 128
I don't know if that is correct however, I haven't used the commands in 30 years.

The above is incorrect. The C128 does not respond like that.BenjaminLumen wrote:I thought you merely typed

Re: Switching between C= 128 screens
Thanks Rbernardo, I cannot recall which system that I was doing that with?
Oh wait a second, didn't or wasn't there a Commodore 64 Program that simulated 80 Column on a Commodore 40 Column Monitor a hi-res?
It was kinda like a Terminate and Stay Resident in DOS, you could load it and run it and it didn't noticeably change what the Computer was doing until you entered the command Column 80<CR>..
found it, I think:

Ah, I didn't know about that program for the C64. I did know about Screen-80 (also reported by Mike Naberezny at the above link).BenjaminLumen wrote:...wasn't there a Commodore 64 Program that simulated 80 Column on a Commodore 40 Column Monitor a hi-res?
