The perspective of the dungeon in this screenshot looks rather strange, so to speak.

On a side note, do you think the "unit" command should be renamed to "dev"? I used the "unit" term because it's used by cc65, which covers many non-cbm systems as well so it must be generic, but I understand the most used cbm term for it is "device", shortcut...

TBH, I never found any use for the printer emulation in VICE. If you turn off true drive emulation, you can set drive #8 to a directory on the host PC (see Settings > peripheral settings ...) and print the program to a file like thus: OPEN2,8,2,"LISTING.TXT,S,W":CMD2:LIST PRINT#2:CLOSE2 Th...

Does the ram disk work well with other cc65 compiled programs? I remember during the beta-test phase Kananga and I stumbled across some issues with CBM-Command - don't remember which ones, and whether they could be resolved at the end, though. OTOH, the FE3 RAM Disk neatly installs into the KERNAL ...

These spammers obviously don't need any activation for their accounts.

Obviously the web server/forum software has been compromised, big time.

I just tried to run MINIPAINT from the FE3 RAM Drive with the FE3 in VICE. While trying to change into the RAM Drive configured as drive #9, cbmsh fails with ' 9: unknown error '. Specifically, here's how I proceeded: - with WinVICE 2.4, I mounted the FE3 firmware image with 'File > Attach cartridge...

The Super Expander DOES support 8k or more of ram expansion. Yes indeed it does - just for general info: when a graphics screen is activated the first time, SE normally 'lowers the roof' available for the BASIC program and variables down to $0FFF (minus some extra for function key definitions). Wit...

My solution, which worked on the vic20, didn't work for some reason on the c64, even though I've checked the addresses multiple times. Would be quite interesting to know what you think went wrong. Could you provide this earlier solution here for an overview? So I came up with a much simpler solutio...

You can switch off the rom part of the Super Expander with SYS 64850. If anything, that SYS will just disable the BASIC extension of Super Expander by calling (part of) the standard reset routine in the KERNAL. The ROM of SE *still* remains mapped into BLK5 and will clash with expansion RAM that oc...

To all those, who were somehow disconcerted because the program just seemed to show some flickering letters and then only a 'black' screen afterwards: run MINIPAINT , load the file 'MIRROR' into MP with Shift-L, change the background colour with Ctrl-1 and finally press SPACE to toggle to the fullsc...

Are they scrolling 2 pixels or did they find a way to scroll 1 pixel at a time? I took a quick peek in a YouTube video, and the game works in multi-colour resolution, i.e. the resolution is 2 (hires) pixels horizontally. It seems so smooth. I suppose that's mainly a matter whether it syncs with the...
