I notice some of the games in the SD2IEC collection that require a memory expander are too big for the screen or aren't centered on the screen. Some are shifted to the right and down while some are simply bigger than the screen. Cosmic Firebirds and Krazy Kong are two that this happens to. Is there ...

I'll check them off when I get the chance this week. Do you have any info about them in case I do need to add them in (publisher, year, programmer etc)? No I don't have any information at all on any of them. I got them all from other friends when I would have been 10-11 years old back in '81-'82. W...

Found a working copy of Down Hill Skiing in the SD2IEC collection.

Found a working copy of Down Hill Skiing in the SD2IEC collection.

I uploaded all the games I have here: http://www.bcstestsite.com/vic20/ Do with them as you wish. Welcome :) First thing I can suggest is to download Gamebase20, which is a repository and archive of as many Vic20 games as possible. I maintain it so... I'm gonna plug it heh. But the main point is tha...

Ant Hill and Centipede were fixed by typing SYS65017 before running them. That had no effect on the other two.

Thanks, that solved the problem for Ant Hill and Centipede but not Defender and Down Hill Skiing.

I've posted a link below to four VIC-20 games that aren't working right or not working at all. I'm not a programmer so I can't fix them. If anyone likes to tinker with this type of thing then here's something for you tinker with. I left a text file in the directory that explains what is wrong with t...

Thanks for the replies. Right after I posted that I realized that all the tape images were also available as .PRG files which I can load from my SD2IEC device. I have a game called Centipede which is much like Centipod but slightly different graphics and sounds. The problem with it is the joystick f...

I've downloaded the SD2IEC collection and found a gazillion VIC-20 tape images. My question is how can I actually load them with my VIC-20 rather than the emulator on my PC?

I got it figured out. When I think jumpers I think of protruding pins rather than flat little semi-circles of solder. I've got it set to device 9 now. Thanks for the help in getting me zeroed in on the right area.

I've zoomed in on that area and posted another pic before I cut anything as I still don't know what to cut. My PCB # is 251777 The ASSY # is 250442.

Here is an image of my Commodore 1541 floppy drive board. How do I permanently change this to device 9?

Thanks.

Got my SD2IEC yesterday along with a an Atari 2600 and a Commodore 64 that I got on eBay. There's really no comparison when it comes C64 games vs. the VIC-20. I hardly used the C64 at all back in the day so now I'm finally just getting to compare the C64 to the VIC-20 for graphics and wow what a dif...

Thanks for the SD2IEC info, I just ordered one. Funny how I find old technology more intriguing than new now.
