Not enough time tonight to toy with the Subor, but I have thoughts about it.
1. FloatBASIC has a LOAD command, but apparently no SAVE command. There's also no obvious way to attach I/O peripherals to the Subor for saving and loading. The LOAD command seems to just cause the machine to hang.
2. I wonder if FloatBASIC would attempt to LOAD from cassette if I connected a FamilyBASIC keyboard into one of the controller ports and used its cassette ports.

When working on an emulator container, getting the game completely up and running ends up being one of the first tasks you tackle. After that, it's the surprisingly labor-intensive act of implementing all the bits we take for granted in a modern game, like an Options menu.

A green swamp and clouds like bats
And this is my drawing based on Castlevania (Dendy). This is a strange place. There are various objects hanging in the air. Which could very well be useful to you. In your exploration of this magical place. Grass is growing, but it's unusual. And the clouds are black. As if they were a flock of bats.

I'm sticking with FloatBASIC. However, without a manual, much less one in a language I can read, I don't know the commands available or the syntax required. I can't even interpret all the error messages. And, beyond knowing that it's a modified version of BASIC originally intended for another machine, I don't have much to fall back on. It seems to be based on MS BASIC and has a somewhat modified ASCII character table, that much I have figured out.
It's interesting trying to use BASIC when you don't know what dialect the machine wants.
The Subor SB225-B has two flavors - G-BASIC and F-BASIC, or GameBASIC and FloatBASIC. GameBASIC is a modified FamilyBASIC, as published by Nintendo based on HudsonSoft and Sharp's PlayboxBASIC. FloatBASIC is... complicated.
Apparently, it's stolen from another Chinese computer company called Fei Suo, who in turn stole it from a Japanese computer company.
