Hello all! I have a couple of PCs on my desk, one of which is a retro PC running Windows XP. Recently I was gifted an 8bitdo Commodore 64 retro keyboard: https://www.8bitdo.com/retro-mechanical-keyboard-c64 And I’ve paired it with my retro PC. The layout is a bit unconventional, so to help me get used to it I thought I’d get a hold of Super Star Trek from David Ahls 101 Basic Computer Games and type that up into MMBasic. I can do it using Notepad or just use the built in editor, but I’ve seen MMEdit in action and decided if I could use that, it would be great. I downloaded MMEdit, and it said it had executables for XP, but when I attempt to run these executables, Windows complains that they aren’t valid Win32 executables. Does someone have older versions of MMEdit I could possibly download? If not I’ll just go to plan B and use Notepad, but I thought I’d ask here first. Many thanks, Joseph ![]() |

That's where I got the executables I was talking about. Those don’t work for my purpose, hence I came here and tried my luck 👍 I’ll see how I get on, but thanks for the reply 😎 |

Earlier versions of MMEdit do run on XP I am not sure why the latest version fails. It is using the same 32bit compiler as the previous versions. This is a working version but there have been a number of changes since. MMEdit5_32.zip Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Discontinued support for Windows XP due to technical reasons. Notepad++ 7.9. 2 is the last version to run on Windows XP. WE all have issues with support for older OS versions VK7JH MMedit |

I thought about that, but the fact that MMEdit works with MMBasic specifically is what drew me to it. I’m a programmer that tries to code too quickly and often overlooks small details, so MMEdit hopefully will help me be more aware 😎 |
