When you don’t have a mask, but the lure of Walmart is too strong to resist...
So, SmileBASIC (Petit Computer 3D) arrives next week, and it’s going to be very awesome. HOWEVER, there is one major problem: You can’t back up files made in the software from your SD Card to your computer in a format that allows you to read, edit, or redistribute to others. The only legit way to share files is through Smileboom’s server in the cloud, and Smileboom strictly polices content for copyright infringement (fangames and clones), which is kind of a mean thing to do, as the best game in the previous incarnation of SmileBASIC was a faithful recreation of Mega Man 2, with extra content like a music player, Boss Rush mode, save games, and a custom level builder.
Well, there’s some good news. Someone in Japan figured out a workaround, and it is absolutely brilliant.
So, SmileBASIC is supposed to be recreating the 1980s era of computing, in which you used BASIC programs on a microcomputer, except more powerful. Back then, when you wanted to save or load your programs or other data, typically you would have used a cassette tape interface. The computer uses a modem device to modulate data into audio to record onto the tape for saving, and demodulate audio played on the tape into data for loading. This was how things were done with microcomputers like the ZX Spectrum, Commodore PET, etc., before floppy drives became the norm.
Well, SmileBASIC supports using the microphone. Introducing PetitModem, linked at the top of this posting. It comes in two halves (a Windows executable and a SmileBASIC program) and allows you to use the technology of yesteryear to save and load programs and files to and from your PC! It can do this as fast as... 1200 baud. That’s 96 bytes/second with ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest), or 100 bytes/second without ARQ. The programs are in English, despite the page being in Japanese. The download on the page contains the source code for the SmileBASIC program, but it’s also available on the cloud via key RSEE3D3. (The key is next to the download link if this happens to change in the future.)
To put this to good use, I highly suggest buying one of these splitters along with some audio cables to connect up to your PC.
