Re: Prince of Persia
That looks really impressive. I briefly played this on the Amiga and never imagined we'd have a Vic conversion. Congratulations on your achievement.

Re: Assembler
Out of interest and as something I've never really used. What's the benefits of using a monitor rather than just going straight to an assembler and using the VICE monitor.

Re: Assembler
I would suggest separating the problem into two parts..
1) Learning 6502
2) Learning to program the VIc hardware in 6502.
I would use the many web based resources (google 6502 assembler online) for part 1 then you will find part 2 much easier.

Re: Using Exomizer
Attached with Makefile in the ZIP: 32k-loader.zip Assuming that all works since you've attached a make file. In Popeye I had an additional step of copying the bootstrap/relocate code to the cassette buffer as the first step and running everything from there otherwise it overwrote itself when reloca...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
didn't realise this thread is nearly 9 years old - will be a relief to draw a line under it I imagine Yes. Everyone will be happy and I'll have forgotten about it three days later. arukanoido.demo.1689.zip fixes +24K mode and has +3K disabled. AFAIR +24K was preferred by most? I don't think many pe...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
No, and you could possibly introduce more bugs - it's plenty smooth enough already. Leave that for your next game in 10 years time

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
nice, didn't notice the clash before but still plays smooth.
i don't much care for the flashing before a screen is shown. Even on a CRT it didn't look pleasing to my eyes. Reminded me of having a loose video cable

Re: Give me all your pocket money! (For tapes, that is.)
I'd probably cough up 30 Euros for a bit of collectable-ia, if it came in a nice box etc. 10 Euros for a digital download.

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
works great on real hardware. buttery smooth.
I was able to enter my hi-score with paddles.
nit-picking - but could you de-bounce the fire button for entering a letter as it easily enters two letters when you only wanted one.

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
fantastic - I can see it's got smoother even in VICE. Will try on the real metal at the weekend with paddles.
Really looking forward to the finished product.
Top line now flickering during into music, but I guess you know that.

Re: Vic 20 Rev D, low voltage across the board, black screen
I hate voltage drops - I have the same problem on a boombox I'm trying to repair.
Only way I've found to trace them is to isolate parts of the upstream circuit by cutting traces and progressively re-introduce it back until you find the offending component(s).

Re: Vic 20 Rev D, low voltage across the board, black screen
Try removing any socketed ICs to see if the voltage rises.
Did it work before you re-capped it? Try some switch cleaner on the on/off rocker as well, perhaps there's a voltage drop across it.
