Denial

oh noes, i am loosing my sleep over it

The Megacart contains mostly the same software along with other things which were put in there with permission. Any difference?

just a small one: the cart images were posted publicly long ago and not a single fuck was given

I see you have a lot of respect for other people's work

like selling a cartridge full of pirated software? or like putting silly "trivia" into your ROMs?

When you don't have professional tools, I guess people don't trust you. no idea what you are talking about. some ppl dont like their stuff being opened and ROMs desoldered, its that simple. its also way easier to tell someone a couple pokes than sending a cartridge around. you seem pretty desperate...

You went the complicated way about it. the complicated way would have been to find someone owning the cartridge who agrees with desoldering the ROM. Unless you disabled the cell locker, you had to read cells one at a time with a reset in between... not quite, the only half interesting bit was the m...

BTW, I notice you only have the PAL dump because I made only one cart with a socket and I know exactly who purchased it...

a socket wasnt required, and there was none either. you dont have to pull the eprom to dump that cart, a simple port expander does the trick.

yup, your mother would be proud of you

i just dumped the cartridge. problem?

It's just ridiculous to have that kind of attitude in such a small community.

totally. just as silly as not openly posting the cartridge images of those multi-game carts that contain 99% pirated software.

somehow seeing ppl arguing over this trivial stuff is cute <3

all it takes for VICE to support it is a link to the cartridge image...

jesus =) i have converted it to acme, see https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/code/34291/

shows a straight line

nice little program.... would you post the source too? i'd like to throw it into the VICE testprograms repo...

Honestly, where ? The OP only said...

you did not reply to the OP, you replied to ME.

AFAIK, the vast majority of people using RAM expansion on their VIC-20 do it with a cartridge, not a hardware mod.

thanks, captain obvious

what about "no interested in hw mods" was not clear? OBVIOUSLY you can achieve all kind of things that "do not work" by modding the hardware. Of course it's not all that sensible to modify the mainboard if the intended result could also be achieved by an external solution. i don'...
