Amazing eBay lot sold...

eBay auction 230948685602 Did someone here win this? There was tons of awesome stuff there. I didn't bid because it exceeded my allowance, but I wish I had been completely irresponsible and bid to win anyway. I could have kept the 6 things I wanted and passed the rest onto someone else... but that's...

Your work is incredible. I'm excited to see another, although I haven't gotten very far enough in your previous games to need a new game :)

Peripherals...

Now that I have a SD2IEC, I haven't used the disk or tape drive once. I've also found myself trying to figure out some modern and practical use for a VIC modem, but I have no answers. I'm not getting rid of any of these things, just wondering if anyone else has asked the same questions and come up w...

This isn't exactly a template, but it's a fairly decent scan of a cart label. Maybe it will help.

I had to uninstall Game Base, VICE emulators, VICE settings, scrub the system of anything Game Base and VICE related, followed by a clean install of only the files provided. No clue as to why it took over a dozen installation attempts to get it running, all following the directions. But at least it'...

I guess I volunteered wrongly to test this Gamebase. I have been using emulators since the 90s, but have never been able to setup Gamebase to work. I thought, "Sure, with only the VIC, I can do this." But no, I cannot get Gamebase running. I've read several tutorials and tried everything I...

Thanks! What score? Easy or hard? So I'm not the only one who doesn't sleep at night ;-) I made it to 87 (I think, it was definitely a number in the 80s), but most of my scores hover between 40-60. I keep hoping that the horizontal colors will match and disappear :D Tonight I'm not so good... I onl...

Replies: 34
Views: 6101

Unlike most who have posted so far, I did not have a VIC or C64 growing up. My schools had TRS-80s, Apple IIs, and PCs and our house had a TS1000, a few Apple IIs, and eventually Macs. The VIC interested me for a brief time in the early 80s but that was replaced by other machines as newer, greater, ...

Just to clarify things so that I don't do anything I will later regret... I would like to be able to run cart games loaded from a SD2IEC. I have a 16K expansion cart. If I make the jumper change described above to my 16K cart, it should be able to properly load and play cart game images. Will the mo...

Raspberry Pi as a VIC-20/C-64 Tool?

I've noticed solutions for using a Raspberry PI as a SIO device for Atari computers. Has anyone heard of anything similar in the works for the VIC or C64?
