Re: Work in progress: REALMS OF QUEST V

The artwork of the portraits is incredible. Are you doing those? If so, what tool are you using?

Re: SuperCPU for the Vic-20

Well, short update: I mounted half a card (backside) and one of the Nema8 steppers (used for rotation of parts) burnt itself to electron heaven. Fortunately omc-stepperonline.com had them in store, so a new one left Germany on Friday and should be here soon. Anyway, here is a picture of some of the...

I'm finishing up a project for my wife tonight. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back on it.

I'm hot-n-heavy on the menu. Just give me some time.

Re: Ultimem or Final Expansion?

Jim Brain has a banked memory API on his wish list which is used on the C64 at least. As usual I forgot what or where it is. I sense a friendly Ultimem OS war coming up next. DOS vs. GUI-Unix :lol: I've thought a lot about EasyFlash and using it's "file system". EasyFlash is great. I love...

Re: Ultimem or Final Expansion?

Exciting stuff is on the way. Found some really, really cool libraries to work with for JSON parsing. I also have an idea of how to store metadata on the Ultimem that can be used to drive the menu system. I'll be able to create an ecosystem where multiple Ultimem-aware apps can live peacefully on on...

Re: Ultimem or Final Expansion?

I've finished making a simple configuration cart image. You can download the source and build it at: https://github.com/sharpninja/ultimem-boot Or you can get the image file from: https://github.com/sharpninja/ultimem-boot/releases To launch with vice you simply execute: xvic -ultimem ultimem.img

Re: Ultimem or Final Expansion?

I'm thinking maybe the structure of the file system should simply be the CMD-DOS file system. It's well known, there are already great tools for it on modern systems (DirMaster comes to mind), and it's arbitrary in size. I could use the last 1MiB of flash to hold the FS, leaving the rest for 8k bank...

Re: Ultimem or Final Expansion?

Not sure I want to tackle an entire operating system right now. I'm more interested in standing up a menuing system that we can be proud of. I'm building it off of CBM-Command since I have a TON of the work to show a UI and work with files already there. I'm going to treat the Ultimem as a big blob ...

Re: Ultimem or Final Expansion?

Are there any docs telling me how to construct an Ultimem compatible image with these files? Now get my puzzled looks coz that's work already done, loverlies. You'd have been better off picking the raisins out of G. I literally understood none of this. I think you're saying there's already a spec f...

Re: Ultimem or Final Expansion?

I have CBM-Command somewhat running from ROM images. I had to use some very specialized memory configurations to make it happen (CBM-Command is very large). I have ROM at banks 2, 3, 5 and RAM at bank 1. I have modified the crt0.s for the VIC-20 to start at $A000 with the cart header and the initial...
