Re: Work in progress: REALMS OF QUEST V

looks impressive - especially with the imported graphics

..not sure purple is the best colour choice for the borders - maybe red?

Re: VIC Game Club No. 2 – The Count

I think Snapshots only work on the exact same version of VICE under which they were saved.

Re: VIC Game Club No. 2 – The Count

If you want to play the cartridge version then attaching a megacart image is probably the easiest way to get it working on VICE.

Re: cc65 and RS232 User Port Serial

Would it be possible to adapt the c64 rom code?

Re: Work in progress: REALMS OF QUEST V

If you weren't aware this may also compliment your toolset. I have just updated it...

Re: Vic 20 Screen and Character designer

I have now updated this tool to version 0.66

* MUCH faster !
* better rendering - eliminated unwanted smoothing

As always ensure Ctrl+F5 to refresh cache (or download the zip file)

Re: Winter start on third cranking

OK, having just installed one of Ray's power supplies, the faulty vic is now showing a flickering black and white screen on power up. Any ideas what to check/replace? - [I have a few non-working spares.]

Re: New release : Pentagorat (32k)

Is there a download link for that latest version for those people that bought the physical tape?

Edit: OK, just saw the 'take me straight to it' link - think I need to change my reading glasses!

Re: Winter start on third cranking

So you're saying it's not possible to replace the internal transformer with the UBEC?

Re: Winter start on third cranking

So being lazy I have ordered a PSU from Ray.

I have a few 2 pin vics. Are these then at risk even when operating from a good psu due to the aging internal regulator?

If so, can they be modified intenally with a UBEC?
