Thanks for all the photos. How bad is the flicker? Would that be usable in a 'board game' or such? I'm most interested in the colors combining green with some other color. But light blue would be also nice. And then another thing to try out: What about if you stop switching between the fields every ...

Interlaced colors - please test & take a photo!

Have any of you played around with interlaced colors? Here's a quick test code which alternates between two duplicate screens and two color RAM's every raster line. The fields are then swapped once every frame. I'm curious about what this looks on different video systems, PAL, NTSC, old color tv's, ...

Sid Vicious - VIC 20 SID emulation

I wrote a little piece of code which emulates the C-64 SID sound chip on VIC 20. Patched versions of the actual original C-64 music routines are used, only the SID part is emulated by software. (For patching you need to change SID writes $d400-$d418 to somewhere else, like $03e0-$03f8, and check tha...

Looks great in VICE, but it seems to be PAL only, right? I haven't tried it yet on my real NTSC VIC, but it only seems to work with PAL emulation in VICE. Great job though, I'm real impressed. Yes, it's PAL only. Here's a quick NTSC fix - this should work, at least it works in VICE. There's little ...

Here's my VIC 20 (unexpanded) entry 'Gymnopedies' to Minigame Competition 2006: http://www.cncd.fi/aeeben/download/gymnopedies.zip Shoot the pedies until they reach you. Keep the screen clean of rocks or the pedies will get you faster. Watch out for drops that appear when you crush rocks. Difficulty...

VIC Renaissance

I was a bit pissed when reading Boray's open letter for the first time, but I can see your point there. :) For myself, I'm not particularly interested in the retro value of VIC 20. I prefer cross-compiling and like to consider VIC as an 'embedded' platform, although it's not. VIC is a challenge, reg...
