Re: Late (not actually) to the FE3 party. Operational Queries.

Perhaps the renumber functionality of CBM prg Studio could be used, especially if a given loader is being built within a Windows, Unix/Linux, or macOS environment? -OGM

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone

I've added directories "archive" and "arukanoido"; the latter containing your desired binaries. My brain refuses to work on this any longer. Eviction notices for my neighbours didn't change that. And they threw me back financially and every other way for a couple of months, so I...

Re: Next SCCAN meeting - Saturday, March 30, 2024

(I lived in northern Santa Barbara county for 13 years, and used to commute back-and-forth to Marina Del Rey on weekends for graduate school; bummer I wasn't back into my VIC-20 "addiction" back then!) Oh, interesting. The commute must have been a killer. P.S. Watch out for major earthqua...

VIC-1110 servicing memory locations 40960-49151 (8K - DIP: 1000 )* --------- * memory locations not accessible from BASIC At the risk of being picky, block 5 is accessible by BASIC through the use of POKEs: it's just not usable by the BASIC interpreter for code by reason of being discontiguous from...

Re: Building a quality PSU

I've just remembered I had a homemade PSU at the back of the cupboard. The LM340 is rated at 1.5A, I wonder if I could replace that with an LM323 to increase that to 3A? I just came across this , and thought some might find it of interest: perhaps as a "one-off," "in-house" proj...

Re: Any interest? Final Expansion 3 (UK)

I'll be completely transparent, my friends: I am at an impasse as to whether I should buy a PU+2 , a wAxpander , or (now) an FE3 -- especially as it seems I would only really ever "need" one of the three. I am, however, much more interested in a VIC-1010 (or VIC-1020 ) configuration, using...

I realize you have already ordered a PenUltimate+2, but perhaps you might find this thread useful: "Ultimate Expansion" - new firmware for FE3.

Re: Ohio-Indiana-Kentucky USA Vic-20 stuff

I'm looking at paring down my Vic-20 hardware a bit, but I'm not looking to sell. Is there anyone within commute distance of Cincinnati who would like some hardware? Ex: couple of Vics, Wico command control joystick and trackball, expansion boards, etc. I'm not going to trash it, but it might end u...

Re: ** Revision 2024 Invitation / Website

Well done, Michael--despite the technical difficulties giving you a very late start! :D

You should seriously consider giving it again, or even doing a YouTube version for us!

Happy "almost-end-of-March" out there! :D I am over halfway through Bruce Smith's VIC 20 Machine Code and feel like I have read an expanded version of Chapter 3 in my VIC-20 Programmer's Reference Guide , which has been beneficial, but certainly not of the magnitude I was hoping for. (Note...

Re: Assembler

Thanks, all! I understand hardware pretty well (I used to work on government range systems), so I am focusing there to go "low-to-high" in a manner of speaking. :) -OGM

Well, I am a little less than halfway through, and slowly reading/studying the text, but I have yet to have an "a-ha" moment. Wish me luck as I plow forward! :) -OGM
