Re: VIC 20 Reloaded Motherboard ?

Love the idea, the price doesn't bother me. The psu sells me more than any thing with the psu being the vics greatest weakness. I prefer all the original parts but at the end of the day if it functions, plays and programs the same lack of original parts is a reasonable sacrifice. Emulation is nice b...

Re: Vicious Synthesizers

I like the sounds I can make with it, but it's a little unresponsive to actually use like a keyboard. Yes the response time is slow. The Vic has to wait for one sound to end before it gets the next key. This is the downside of the Sound Shaper. It was designed more for slow rhythmic pulsating sound...

Re: Vic 20 Chip Tune Programing Milestone. Enjoy.

Thank you for all for the wonderful feed back. I am currently working on compiling a d64 image of some of the chip tunes I've been working on. All in basic for the unexpanded vic.

Re: Recommend a good game for young children.

My 5 year old daughter enjoys jungle hunt more than anything else for vic. She also has a lot of fun with Ms. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Demon hunt, and Dragonfire. She also enjoyed Choplifter but needed some help. I just recently got my vic running and my daughter has been helping me "test" som...

Re: How to : 4 pin psu to 2 pin vic adapter chord

From the info that I can find you are correct. Although I am having a hard time finding info on the 2 pin vics actual power consumption. I am currently posting warnings on the pages that I have posted this on. My electronics knowledge is novice and I would like to thank eslapion and Mike for calling...

Re: How to : 4 pin psu to 2 pin vic adapter chord

VERY VERY BAD idea!! I am curious as to why you say this. I would understand if the power source were to high, you would run the risk of blowing out the vic. With it being less than the 11v psu made for it the worst that would happen is that the vic would just not work. Like i said it works just fi...

Re: How to : 4 pin psu to 2 pin vic adapter chord

It's enough. I use it almost every day. The 2 pin vic itself only needs 9v to run the extra voltage in the 11v 2 pin is for periphials. With this chord you can power the vic, just not alot of extra hardware. I can still run my tape drive and sd2iec just fine.

How to : 4 pin psu to 2 pin vic adapter chord DANGEROUS?

I made a chord to power my 2 pin Vic-20 from a 4 pin Commodore power supply. I took photos and made an instructional video for anyone who might be interested.
