Re: "Top of the line" VIC-20

I'll answer my own post to start the ball rolling.... Let's talk storage. It seems the contenders are: Tape (gotta have 1 I suppose!): Commodore Datasette One of those tape emulators that work off an MP3? Those any good? Better? Anything else to consider? Floppies: Dual 1571's? Dual 1540's? Can a VI...

"Top of the line" VIC-20

Alright gents (and ladies?). Let's have some fun... Let's suppose money is no object.... your only goal is to build out the "dream" VIC-20 system. A completely kitted out, top of the line Wonder VIC-20. Like those PC mags that build out a "Dream PC" for $10k. Only limit is it has...

Re: Decoding BASIC listing

Thanks Rob and Ray. I did get it typed in. (First try, woot!) It's a nice little display. It was fun to try it out with all the different RAM options. I can't say it added much to my understanding beyond what I got reading that manual, but it was neat none the less. Two days ago I'd never thought ab...

Re: Release: Pooyan

Adrian, I played your game at lunch today. Very cool. Nicely done! One small request. A tiny manual/back story? I never played the arcade version or a port, so I was rather confused with what was going on. After I was killed just once or twice I got the general idea of moving up and down, shooting t...

Re: Decoding BASIC listing

So you are saying I should RTFM Ray? :? In my defense.... I found the online manual to link to it, but didn't read it online, I have a paper manual, and it doesn't have that same page 2. My page 2 has the "WARNING" part, but not the key. There was either another edition of the manual that ...

Re: Decoding BASIC listing

One more character that I don't know what it is or how to type it in. It looks like a cross between a 5, a 7 and a kanji character. It's on pg. 26 of the PDF (A10 of the original manual) here: http://www.bombjack.org/commodore/hardware/Cardco_16k_memory_Expansion_for_VIC-20.pdf It's in the 2nd line ...

Decoding BASIC listing

Hi everyone. I'm busy learning the VIC memory map and interacting with a few cartridges: Commodore "8K" RAM expansion that mysteriously behaves like a 16K expansion. 3K Super Expander Cardram 16K Expansion Mosaic RAM Master 32K VIC-MON HES-MON Programmer's Aid All good fun. Learning which ...
