Description
Hangul BASIC is a BASIC extension that is available on Korean MSX/MSX2 computers and on Korean MSX2 consoles. It is not available on Korean MSX1 consoles.
Versions
There are 4 versions of this extension:
- Version 1, available on the Korean MSX1 computers
- Version 2, available on the Korean MSX2 computers
- Version 3, available on the Korean MSX2 consoles
- Version 4, released in 2015 by Korean MSX fan Plaire, under the name 'Hangul I/O system', can be used on most non-Korean MSX1, MSX2, MSX2+ and MSX Turbo R machines. You can find the manual, the rom and bin versions on his blog : http://blog.naver.com/plaire0/220372690919. The BIN version uses a small part of the free memory.
Instructions
Versions 2 to 4 extend the SCREEN instruction with the SCREEN 9 dedicated to the Korean characters. However, version 4 allows to use this screen with non-Korean MSX2 (and higher) computers.
There are many new instructions, especially with versions 3 and 4. The exclusive additions of version 4 are only for non-Korean machines.
Note: CALL can be replaced by the character underscore (_). A space is not required after this character. See CALL for more info.
