Re: Vic1001 game list

I'm doing F to fight, but then it asks for Fighting Power. I type a number, but nothing happens, after trying a few times I lose the fight (might be when I enter 1), then the screen messes up by scrolling, but not re-drawing properly. I think it's broken. I'm guessing all the Rs have turned into Ls,...

Re: Vic1001 game list

These games are really good for type-ins :-) Does anyone know how to actually fight in 'Time Travel'? I just end up with it ignoring my input, then the game screen scrolls off the top, then I die. Also, can I run Danger Zone on a real Vic? I tried enabling all blocks, then running the Super Expander...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone

I've just tried this on my Vic. It's really good! Great graphics, sound, and music. As other people have mentioned the paddles are a bit wobbly, but almost all paddle games are like that, and I could enter my initials okay on the score table. I just got to level 10. Is it okay to put it on YouTube?

Re: Wanted: '←', '1', '2' Helvetica Narrow VIC-20 keycaps

The 8-Bit Guy just mentioned in a video that he has loads of spare Vic-20s that can be used for spares and he's trying to organise a Vic-20 repair event, so he may be able to send/sell you some if you don't find any elsewhere.

Re: Will a C64 light pen work on a Vic-20?

Yes, I did mean CA. Sorry for the confusion. I think the screen was to the left when I loaded it, which is why I thought it must be something to do with the timing as it's expecting a 60Hz flash and not 50. I'm not 100% sure how it works, but I think it just counts time from the VBL to the flash it ...

Re: Will a C64 light pen work on a Vic-20?

Thanks. I tried it, but I'm guessing it's NTSC as the cursor is all over the place.

I can't get past the calibrate screen on MINISKETCH as I don't have a button on it and I couldn't find a key to act as the button.

Will a C64 light pen work on a Vic-20?

I have a C64 Trojan Light Pen and before I plug it into my Vic-20 to try out "Commodore Artist", I'd like to know I'm not going to damage it in any way. Are all light pens compatible between the C64 and Vic-20, or do I need a Vic-20 one? The box says it's for the C64 and C128, but no menti...

Re: Request: PAL mixing test program

Here are two pics.
From my capture source, so it's probably the best one:

From a camera pointed at my CRT, so it's hard to get it looking right:

Re: Request: PAL mixing test program

I can take a photo of it running on my CRT Sony Trinitron if that is any use. Hopefully I can get a decent picture. I'll try to do one in the next few hours.

Re: Space Ric-O-Shay - can't get it to run.

Thanks, I'll try write protecting it. I didn't know VICE did that.

I got one from zimmers and another was on my standard sd2iec collection.

Space Ric-O-Shay - can't get it to run.

Is there a trick to getting this to run? If I run it from CBM Filebrowser I just get a ready prompt, and loading it manually with ,8,1 doesn't run it when I reset. I have the full 35k, but I've tried it in VICE and have the same problem in lots of RAM configs. I can only get it to run if I use VICE ...

Re: New Game "Cacorm" by Inufuto

Thanks, nbla000, I was playing this a couple of days ago. I got to level 10 which I think is the last one. I like it.

And orion70, I was playing Sorcery earlier, so I know where your avatar is from now :-)

Re: FE3 Software Collection

PS: I'm releasing a new CBM FileBrowser version (1.7) that supports pi1541 too, it works with Mega-Cart and should work also with FE3 but I've not tested it yet. Will the new one work with long filenames? I always struggle to work out which game is which when I see a list of files called things lik...
