LB Booster forum

I downloaded the LBB.exe file from https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/lbb/ (16:33:26 on March 29, 2026) Check directly what version of BBC BASIC your installed copy of LBB is using, by running this one-line program: !*HELP It should output: BBC BASIC for Windows runtime engine 6.16a if it is the latest ver...

I replied to the same query received by email, please read that reply.

I have re-built LB Booster using the latest version of BBC BASIC for Windows to ensure that it is as up-to-date as possible. Since this is just a re-build the version number and date have not been changed, but you can confirm that you have the latest version by looking at the properties of the execu...

I wouldn't even try! The BBC BASIC for Windows interpreter is written in assembly language, making it even more dif...

I just downloaded Windows 11 for ARM on VMWARE FUSION for Apple M3 silicon. I can not make LBB run properly while LB is running just fine. Is there a trick to make LBB run on this environment? TL;DR; No, it's unlikely that there is anything you can do, since the fault lies in VMWare not in LBB. :( ...

Can we send prompts to Gemini or ChatGPT from LBB under program control and receive the response? If TLS1.2 connection will be needed, can we do this with LBB? The requirement for SSL encryption is indeed probably the key stumbling block to accessing a ChatBot's API from LBB. It's possible, but it ...

LB doesn't seem to have the same restriction. Indeed: LBB's mainwin is completely different from LB's mainwin. LBB's mainwin is in fact BBC BASIC 's main output window; unlike most other aspects of LBB it does not attempt to emulate Liberty BASIC but rather retains the native capabilities of BBC BA...

I didn't explain myself very well. Let's say that the MainWin will display a maximum of 90 rows at any one time, can more rows than this be displayed and scrolled, displaying 90 of the rows, without losing any of the rows. If not is there any way around it? Obviously, what is displayed in the (say)...

It appears that MainWin can only display 88 rows. Is this correct and if so is there any way of increasing this number. It's limited by the maximum height of the backing bitmap, which is 1440 pixels. If each row is 16 pixels high that would correspond to 90 rows for example. The only way to increas...

Actually, I don't know how to change the text direction from left to right to right to left using LB or LBB. In LBB's mainwin you can switch text direction using embedded BBC BASIC code (e.g. using !VDU 23,16,2;0;0;0;) but I'm guessing that's not what you mean. In Windows controls the text directio...
