Denial

but there does exist software that uses the so-called "illegal opcodes". To add to this: not seldom in old games there are undocumented opcodes executed not because the coder used them intentionally, but because they are a result of accidental memory corruption during development. (This i...

This is really very cool. Imagine showing this to ppl back in 1980 :=)

As said on Lemon - can't you simply use it as is? The binary format should be the same

It uses PB7 indeed, and that's L - correct

The problem might indeed be the video source - if the video was deinterlaced, ie is now 25fps, then it will probably not work

Generally on NTSC everything needs to be 20% percent faster (50Hz PAL vs 60Hz NTSC). So, when you you look at the code, there is one delay loop at $c044 which is called with different values in X at various places. So the first/easy attempt is to make this delay loop 20% faster (which then means all...

I think you'll have to make sure to plug in the mouse before turning on the computer, and also make sure nothing else uses that joystickport before you run the NEOS program.... its really all a bit unstable

Its just the maximum clock rating, many MOS chips have this. In a VIC20 (or C64 for that matter) any "A" or "B" (and variants without) can be used

If you are using kernal, you can use one file and patch into the STOP vector (iirc) to update the progress bar (or do whatever during load)

I always found "Capture the flag" somewhat impressive, being such an early title with first person 3D

It's not as exaggerated as you might believe. It's not a question of believing. As said before, anything "hit" would be all across the usual places. Let alone "tremendous hit amongst Commodore 64 programmers, from beginners all the way up to seasoned coders." Vision BASIC does p...

To be honest, most of the time i don't bother, because i am really not that interested in those new games. I see what is being released (and what is not) though :) As for this BASIC compiler, i might take a brief look at it and play around with it for a while, IF it'd be available for free. I wont p...

In other words, don't expect all software to make its way there, especially if the developers step in. Am I wrong about this? Was the above just rhetoric on the part of their admins? a) CSDb is an archive, whatever is released gets an entry, sooner or later. That however doesn't necessarily mean th...

I'm not negative, it's just how it works

Could it be that the vast majority of purchasers aren't interested in posting it to nefarious websites?

As soon as it becomes a "hit", it will happen
