Re: Jalapeno 2nd place

I really like FCBPAINT , as it offers a very good trade-off between resolution and colour-granularity and is accessible to the end-user without having to worry about programming a display-routine with inline-rastersplits. I did this picture 6 years ago with it: https://www.tokra.de/vic/vicmckracken/...

Re: Why is the Machine Language Monitor cartridge so expensive?

Why are people paying that price for these things that are completely obsolete. Are you sure these are the prices these items have actually sold for? Or just some seller feeling lucky searching for someone who will pay this? To get a realistic sense of an item's worth I always use the EBay "Ad...

Re: Released: pulse

Apparantly some retro-website did an interview with Andrew Gwynne now, he mentions some more of the recent VIC-releases:

Re: What would be a good game for...

Victragic's Pitfall-port fits most of the above and is a recognizable 80's game, however it is not an original VIC-20-game from the era. If you want that I'd suggest Donkey Kong, Pole Position or Star Battle (= Galaxians).

Re: Can I Buy a VIC-20 Style Keyboard for Emulation?

Apparantly the keyboards of "THE C64" or "THE VIC-20" are just USB-keyboards internally. So theoretically you should be able to connect these as USB-keyboards to any PC and use them in an emulator. Essentially "THE C64" is running an emulator anyways (VICE 2.4 I think).

Re: 6560 FPGA Progress.

Tokra and Mike - it looks like some or all of the aux colour, background colour and border colour get set during the left margin of most lines before the display area starts. Are you twiddling anything else on a per-raster basis, such as the screen and colour bases, or are they set at the top of ea...

Re: 6560 FPGA Progress.

It might be helpful for debugging, if ? could prepare debug versions of the tiger picture - the original one, and four others that only contain $00, $55, $AA, $FF in the bitmap. The $00, $55 and $FF pictures should show the distribution of background, border and auxiliary colours is right, the $AA ...

Re: 6560 FPGA Progress.

I believe the $9000 and $9001 set to zero-effects are not emulated as well. so where is the bug report with testcases? :) didn't you add it here? https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/code/HEAD/tree/testprogs/VIC20/vic_9000test/ That's not the one, this is the one talked about in the other thread (Ras...

Re: 6560 FPGA Progress.

Meanwhile, what am I supposed to see with this test because I am not† seeing it on VICE (3.6.1)? I guess I'll have to get down-n-dirty with some real hardware. And then try to reproduce the intended weird behavior. It's a lot easier to do this if you can screenshot VICE and send the image to the pr...
