Very, very similar, but not that one. The version that actually says "Bomb Buenos Aires" at the title screen.

I'm looking for a screenshot of the title screen from Bomb Buenos Aires (pre Blitzkrieg) for a book I'm writing. And ideally a copy of the game.

Don't suppose anyone here has a working copy in any format?

I realise it's an elusive game. Sometimes labelled as B.B.A. as I understand.

Here's a quick video which I showed at the GAconf (Game Accessibility conference) event: https://youtu.be/oef0-ElNpGs

Huge thanks again for all the help.

Definitely a lesson for me. :) The cartridge seems to be working perfectly. Wasted a bit of money I think on the chips, but they may be useful one day. Just need to get a copy of Mission Impossible to complete the Scott Adams five for the Vic 20. Really like The Count. Wonder if there were any other...

Thank you! I thought I could get either a straight-through or a Null Modem cable working with this originally so (lazily) didn't check against the manual. I didn't think it would be some obscure tailor made DB25 cable that you can't buy. It is though, and after a bit of desoldering/resoldering a DB2...

Thanks. I'll try this ASAP.

...also noticed that line 20 must be tied to line 8. Maybe the Apple II is doing this be default and the Vic 20 through the RS232c cartridge isn't? I've tried straight through cables and Null modem with no improvement with the Null modem cable. Just confused that some people on this thread had such ...

I'll try that. I feel that I've tried that already, but I'll give it another go. Thanks for offering some thoughts. Here's the manual: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6edtbdoi5jcspvj/t2sp08%20Votrax%20Type%20%27n%20Talk%20User%27s%20Manual.pdf?dl=0 I read something about sending a tilde ~ up front allows ...

Thanks. On both the C64 and the Vic 20 this programme behaves correctly at 300 Baud (connecting pins 2 and 3 together on the VIC-1011A cartridge). 10 open2,2,0,chr$(6)+chr$(0): 6 = 300 baud 20 print#2 30 get#2,a$ 40 print#2,"test" 50 input#2,a$ 60 printa$ 70 close2 I get "test" a...

One other question. I have a working C64. Should this work with this programme...

10 open 1, 2, 0, CHR$ (06)
20 input a$
30 print#1, a$
40 goto 20

Changing 06 to 12 for 2400 Baud?

Thanks again for any help.

I've just tried the programme connecting B+C+M together referring to this... http://www.ntrautanen.fi/computers/hardware/misc/images/vic_user.gif ...with said to be tested VIA chips. The keyboard works perfectly by the way no matter which way round I have the chips. No "TEST" output on the...

Noticed I have two VIA chips on my board, marked as...

The ones I've ordered are...

I'm assuming the bottom number is the week and year they were made. If they've been tested as all okay, they should work fine would you think?

Done. Still nothing. I've ordered a couple of VIA chips to work with. Thanks massively so far for all the help.

Thanks for this. Much appreciated. Looking at this: http://www.ni.com/tutorial/3450/en/ - seems you're right that you should only need to connect pins 2 and 3 together. I typed in your programme (with no cartridge installed) 10 open2,2,0,chr$(8)+chr$(0) 20 print#2 30 get#2,a$ 40 print#2,"test&q...

Thanks for getting back. I've managed to pin a little more down. Using a DB25 straight through fully wired cable, I've managed to get an Apple II speak to the Votrax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atRAH0JYUYI Not perfectly, but not far off it. That's at 9600 baud. Now I'm wondering if the VIC-1011...
