Unless your VIC-20 has been modded to output S-Video, you'd only have to connect composite video (yellow cord) and audio (white cord) to your TV set. Please check that the yellow cord connects to pin 4 of your DIN plug and that the white cord connects to pin 3. Here's how they are arranged when you ...

This is a - small - issue I have with the demoscene in general. One of several - small - issues indeed. But I am not going to argue here. Either way: I will be attending the party and have this run on my VIC+Mega Cart. Whoever wants to see it/try it out is invited - don't forget to bring beer ;-) T...

Here I have another MG picture to test your GIMP plugin with: a Currywurst dish.

No, you're mixing up expressions and statements. To clarify, most (imperative) programming languages make a difference between statements and expressions : A statement is some instruction or command which is intended to be executed by the language, e.g. PRINT, GOTO. In that sense, the LET statement ...

This statement is not interpreted as double assignment in BASIC V2, rather the result of the Boolean expression ST=0 (either -1 if true, or 0 if false) is assigned to P.Witzo wrote:How does this work?Code: Select all

Do I understand correctly that originally, the Z-code interpreter required 35k of RAM expansion (3k RAM expansion + 32k RAM in BLK 1,2,3,5) but now will work correctly with on a standard 32k RAM expansion? There are actually two different Z-code interpreters being talked about: TNT's implementation...

Would XPander 3 also be an option to get over the 32K hump? You can combine a +3K RAM expansion and a +32K RAM expansion with a slot expander. Note though, that the external +3K expansion is blocked from BASIC use (RAM in BLK1 takes precedence) and will not show up as extra 'BYTES FREE', the BASIC ...

[An animation in a smaller frame with <30 frames per second] almost seems doable in spite of the FE3's limits ... at least a simple demo could be pulled off? Let's see ... a 64x64 pixel bitmap needs 512 bytes, the FE3 RAM Disk achieves slightly more than 9 KB/s for load, which leads to ~18 frames p...

You can refresh a whole MINIGRAFIK bitmap sans attributes nearly 30 times per second. See here . It 'just' needs a more flexible RAM expander than FE3, like this one: - 256 'pages' with 8K each, i.e. 2 MB in total, - 4 registers in the I/O area, for BLK1..3 and BLK5, which allow to map any of the 25...

I'm using a VIC-20 with S-Video mod , and a Commodore 1084. They are connected with a LCA cable made from a DIN to 4x RCA break-out adapter and a normal A/V cable. The colour markings on the RCA ends of the DIN adapter happened to match the inputs of the 1084 (yellow: luma, red: chroma, white: audio...

Re: Minigrafik GIMP Plugin Development
Hi! It's nice to see some independent development regarding the MG picture file format. :D It sets the Gimp image type to indexed and sets the palette to a Vic-20 palette. http://people.myplace.net.au/~hawk@myplace.net.au/mike/retro_computing/vic-20/denial/Gimp%20plugin/GimpPluginColormap.png The ta...

I was not talking about a full-screen bitmap. Just the characters around the player position must be taken care of.PhilRanger wrote:Thanks. I understand what you mean. I was hoping some overlay using scan might have been possible to avoid forcing the user to go to hi-res altogether but maybe I'm just dreaming!
