Denial

No worries - I'll keep it for parts. Anyway, I was thinking of getting the "C64TPC (Connect Commodore 64 to PC)" item I've seen up on E-bay and of course the Mega Cart for my VIC-20. Only regret is that I can't use my my new Realms of Quest diskette software, but selling my other old Commo...

Darn....opened her up, cleaned her as in the docs / images, tried to "align" the head, and got the same results.

Oh well, it was worth a shot!

Thanks Boray! I played some Star Post last night, so I must have loaded another file from vic20_v02 as I've since DL'd the big pack and am no longer doing single downloads of files on various sites like that (well, except for the Denial originals!). I'll have to do a purge of bad files and stick wit...

I love this! I didn't run into any "I don't understand that" type of messages - great work!

This is great! Worked with PRG starter, too.

It took me a sec to figure out the ladders section, and I stood around stupidly on the dye pack screen until I realized I had to grab as much cash as I could, but it's fun and I love the many games packed in to one aspect.

Great idea! I tried it - it worked for 1 out of 3 games on Vice 2.2 x64 as follows: Creepy Corridors - WORKS (though it comes up in Warp Mode and you have to turn WM off to play) uber-leet.com_Vic_20--VIC 1939 Star Post-A000 - FAIL with corrupted graphics but some activity / sound Night Forest, the ...

Thanks a lot ral-clan - I did some cursory Google searches but my search phrases were not coming up with good results - good tips and articles!

great! I'll let you guys know the results, thanks much.

Is there some good documentation out there with photos that you guys would use, or is it pretty obvious where to clean and what to take apart/align?

I'll try a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol then - since I'll be taking it apart anyway per the previous suggestion I might as well clean it!

Oh well -- thanks for checking anyway.

Thanks rhurst. I'd gladly blog about and host the files on mediafire as well as I'm a big ACS fan.

OK Pitalco, that sounds quite do-able. Will try this weekend. Thanks for the tips guys.

Is Vic User an RPG or Intellivision fan?

Robert - if you think that the likely fix then I will look on e-bay for a 5.25 inch floppy head cleaner with the white cleaning pad in place of magnetic media inside the disk and the fluid drops --- or do yo mean a more involved method of taking her apart?

The most likely scenario to succeed would be to do a very custom distro of Linux with musician and emulation apps pre-loaded (none of the hoops I had to jump through on Ubuntu to get VICE to run), Commodore themed wallpapers and GUI look and feel. It should be a convenient, easy platform to all thin...
