I am not sure if this helps, but the wAx 2.1 Assembler manual discusses user-defined plugins and the wAx SDK from pages 64 through 79. -OGM

OUTSTANDING work, Marsupial! (Sven Petersen is pretty LEGENDARY too! ) -OGM

I am currently attempting to add a RAM1 1k expansion to a cart PCB in order to get a working diag. Part of the fun is to make the tools, and I've learnt more about VIC20 architecture trying to make this diag cart than I originally imagined. Thanks a lot for the help, it really is appreciated! Altho...

the Diagnostic ROM is intended to run on a cart that has memory expansion - I am trying to run it on a non-expanded cart. I am new to VIC20 but most software I tried complained when they required a (missing) memory expansion... but not the diag. It seemingly runs OK until it gets these errors. Like...

Thank you!

My pleasure, Joe! Have one for me! -OGM

It could mean that your diag is to blame. Also, which type of VIC-20 is it: "original" or cost-reduced (CR)? -OGM

Where would be the best place to mount it, which wouldn’t spoil the original look of the Vic? Congrats on upgrading to JiffyDOS , 8bitDenial !

With minimum intervention I’ve corrected them to get a playable game, but didn’t touch other faults like a ton of typos, incompatible colors or misaligned words. VIC-20 version requires 16K expansion. Type LOAD”YOUNG ART. QUEST”,8 and RUN to play the game if you are ready to encounter the painful e...

Thanks much, avsars!

Super game, but very very difficult...

I seem to remember the 1986 original being difficult too! -OGM

I still think it is impressive as hell, pixel.

Thanks much for the updated version!

You're famous now: the 8-Bit Guy mentions your work in his latest ! -OGM Thanks!. Yes, I saw it. When he mentioned he was going to try Prince of Persia in the Atari 400 mini, I thought he might mention the VIC-20 version. And he did, and also showed a short video of it :D Cheers Once again, well do...

Cheers
