The first program loads over the vectors including the IRQ which will now point to a new loader (I'm away from home so I'm not 100% sure of the location) probably at 820. It puts back the default IRQ vector, changes the screen a bit, and loads AL which is the AJ display. I have used this program on ...

This is really disappointing news about TAP files, as I was my favorite way to store my games. I forgot there are a couple of things that set the screen for NTSC. For VICE emulators it's not a big deal, but I suppose a pain to have to change settings. The levels... I simply ran out of room. As it is...

I downloaded and tried the zipped TAP on Xvic (VICE 2.4) and had no problems. It should load from 4097 to 7873. Comparing the screen I get, and your screenshot, I see the program is loading 3 bytes higher than it should. Not sure why.

Yeah. I had to use the cassette buffer and a few other places for memory, so the overwrite on the screen is normal. But looking at the characters on the screen something isn't loading right. I'll check the zipped TAP.

I have been quite quiet lately, sorry for that, but I have continued to program. Pretty happy with this. No memory expansion. Collect the keys, avoid the robots and get to the exit. 5 little sprites, isometric platformer, 4 levels. My web pages are a complete mess, so this is a direct link. I will f...

I apologize, I have been a shadow for a while. I basically do this when I'm not too busy with other things. The pattern seems to be every other winter, but now that I've said that it will change. Hope to be back with more this winter.

New version uploaded with fix for Thes adventure. Just download again from the same place. Sorry it took so long.

As always that's for the hard work. I must say it was a bit of a shock, the new look, and as Pitcalco noted many here may be a bit resistant to change, including myself. I think I will get used to it, but it will feel more like home when there are some of our Vic and C= logos and icons!

As with all the text adventures you have been sent to a system around a star. I thought that would leave the text adventures open to anything, from castles to jungles to pyramids to lifeless rocks. So Cygnis the game title refers specifically to the star HDE 226868, as I wanted to include the black ...

Found a problem in adventure 2, fixed and re-uploaded. Download again for the new version.

Probably around the same time you were making your player (because I have no SDIEC) I was wondering if I could make samples play from memory, so that is what the last part of the video is. Just me experimenting. I looked at the code for your player, and have yet to wrap my head around it. Because I ...

Very cool. I liked the tuned white noise, it reminded me of old Kraftwerk stuff.

I used AudioTap to convert, Wavelab for any adjusting, and just recorded on my tape deck. So perhaps there is a degrading of the sound. Here is a video link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PahhRvIVdVM

Works exactly the way you said it would for the NTSC version on a real Vic! I will post video when I get a chance.
