1) When Pc Basic was turned on, it would be very nostalgic to have bright green texts on the screen, just like on old monitors.

2) In version 2.0.2, the Alt + 4 keys do not work to write the $ sign. We can use AltGr + 4 instead.

Thank you for developing such a useful program, I wish you success.

Thanks for the kind words!

  1. This is already possible, use the monitor=green option (in v2.0.x). See http://robhagemans.github.io/pcbasic/doc/2.0/#settings
  2. This is probably because v2 uses a different interface library. It'll also depend on your keyboard and OS settings, for example on my keyboard AltGr+4 gives €.
