6502 Microprocessor Kit

Still trying to get my head around machine language at an intuitive level and - dare I say it - at a cross-platform level. Anyone have experience in working with a 6502 microprocessor kit, such as this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/6502-Microprocessor-Kit/283625482818?hash=item4209656a42:g:r50AAOSwx...

Re: Mega-Cart

The practicality may indeed not be as simple as I put it, e5frog. Still, the essence of my question is whether or not it would be wrong morally or altogether impractical for someone else (or maybe more than one of us) to duplicate the Mega-Cart and continue to distribute in that manner, seeing that ...

Re: Mega-Cart

With respect to all those involved, would it be out of line for those of us that have a Mega-Cart to make EPROM copies and duplicate these cartridges ourselves, seeing that the project is on ice anyway?

VICE for beginners

I know that lots of you fellows have been using VICE for a number of reasons, and now that I no longer have any of my physical Commodore collection I have been relegated to VICE as well. Of course, as a beginner, the first thing I notice is that the keyboard logic is altogether different and the mea...

Re: Hvad blev der af Carlsson?

That question occurred to me as well.
Perhaps he is just on holiday. I can't imagine he lost interest in the VIC.

Just hope nothing untoward happened to him.

Re: Introduce Yourself: What's your User Name based on?

Don't be afraid of stupid questions. We all started somewhere.

Ask away!...and trust me, some of my questions probably seem stupid to the real experts on this forum.

Let not the flinch of shyness keep you from revealing the marvels of the VIC in your life.

Re: Worst VIC game ever! A definitive list.

We learn to be offended. Same hot water I got into about casually referring to women as "broads" a while back. We get offended because we are repeatedly told that it is offensive. It is inculcated into us. However, we can be just as easily de-sensitised if we like, by reading old books and...

Some people just never grow up.
No worries, eslapion. You are pretty safe on Denial, I think.

There is a reason why I don't get too involved on the 64 forum, after all,

Re: Free to a good home - UPDATE

Update: Looks like elwee is a no-show in spite of a few PM reminders. Thus, the things he wanted are up for grabs again. So here is what is left. 1. One 1541-II disk drive. Working, but no power unit or connecting cable. 2. A box containing: 1 VIC 20 NTSC 110 V - 2 prong power inlet in side. Comes w...
