Re: Ultimem or Final Expansion?
As a programmer working on a couple of big projects for the VIC-20, I'd error on the side of the Ultimem. Having the freedom to create your own firmware is a big plus to me. I didn't buy my cart to play pre-configured cart games, but to get an ultra-powerful memory expansion. You don't even need to ...

Thanks. I'm having fun with it, which is what matters.norm8332 wrote:This is looking really good! Reading the other thread, I can't wait for the 40 cols version! This could stand alone as the top VIC-20 terminal program.

Re: 4ty - 40x25 interlaced text mode on unexpanded VIC 20
OK, so I've got my charset defined with both upper and lower and reverse all setup in the first 512 characters. I've just about decided to make the 40 column support a loadable module and make the character set loadable as well. This would have some advantages. A user with only 8k expansion could us...

Re: Introducing NinjaTerm 2.0
Does VICE allow for RS232 via TCP emulation? Have you tried it with NinjaTerm running on xvic? I've tried running DesTerm after running x128 -rsuser -rsdev1 192.168.1.254:23 to connect to a telnet service running on a local Linux box. I can see the TCP established connection on the Linux-side, with...

Re: 4ty - 40x25 interlaced text mode on unexpanded VIC 20
Once again, how you organize the character definitions as such, and how you provide character generator data to VIC-I are two entirely different matters. From the diagram I'd conclude you plan to put the upper/graphics PETSCII set into the upper nibbles of the character definitions, and the lower/u...

Re: 4ty - 40x25 interlaced text mode on unexpanded VIC 20
The upper four bytes of the line would be the upper/lower bytes of the char set for the left character, and the lower four bytes of the line would be the upper/lower bytes of the char set for the right character. Now I'm completely lost on this one. I'd understand, if you'd pack the standard PETSCI...

Re: 4ty - 40x25 interlaced text mode on unexpanded VIC 20
:mrgreen: What program did you make that with? I'm looking for a 40 column solution for NinjaTerm. I've considered defining a charset with the upper and lower case character in each cell so that I only need one 4k (normal and inverse) set of data instead of 8k. Then, I would use a 40x23 "scree...

Re: Introducing NinjaTerm 2.0
With my set up 2400 bauds works great with no errors. Great to hear. The address book does work but Iong names can not be entered. Particlesbbs.dyndns.org will not fit. Luckily TCPSER has an address feature so I have the BBS names as "1". So the address book works this way. I believe all ...

It doesn't have an ASCII mode, only PETSCII.

Introducing NinjaTerm 2.0
I'm very excited to announce NinjaTerm, a new PETSCII term program for the VIC-20. NinjaTerm is able to use any userport modem at 300, 1200 or 2400 baud (your mileage may vary at 2400 baud depending on the modem). NinjaTerm includes a configurable address book with up to 8 entries. Uses the C64 Char...
