Description

SCC-BASIC is an extension created by Eric Bos and released in 1989 by Stichting Green (new name of the Sparrowsoft company). It was also available on a disk sold to the subscribers of MSX Mozaïk in 1991.

A cartridge with SCC/SCC+ soundchip or compatible is required to use fully SCC-BASIC. SCC Konami cartridges are usable but remember: Do not insert a cartridge with the MSX turned on!!!. However, safe options exist:

slotexpanders with switches
SCC cartridges modified with switch or converted to Megasram (aka ESE-RAM)
emulators

You must enter BLOAD"SCCBASIC.BIN", R to install the extension.
