You need to press O (the letter) or Fire on your joystick to start. Since nothing happens after RUN this might fool you ;-)

The VICE-monitor supports watchpoints as well, I'm using this feature a lot when developing for the VIC.

If you're doing stuff in the zeropage or with the stack, it's probably a good idea to disable interrupts first using SEI. The strange effects you are witnessing could well be caused by the interrupt-routines kicking in

The Nordlicht was a rather small demo party with just about 50 people. The Revision-party is the largest one around with about 800 people from all over the world attending in Saarbruecken, Germany. I think I didn't post this: Here's the LIVE-showing of the "Yes Vic Can"-demo at the 2011 Re...

I have a 1084 and a 1901 an in comparison the 1901 clearly wins - it has just a beautiful picture. I remember back in the day there was a simple mod to give the 1901 an analog RGB-input for Amiga and the german 64er magazine (if I remember correctly) raved that this was the best Amiga ever looked.

infocom Infocom's text adventures. Nice. The parser isn't finished yet tho. It might be, one day. Awww, come on. Do we need to make this a Kickstarter-project? :wink: It looks like it's 90% done - or what is still missing? Would be great to have the Infocom full experience on the VIC finally. The w...

FWIW: Retro Gamer already had an 8-page-VIC-20 special in issue 46 (which should be roughly 5 years old). Jeff's original "Game Theory" 3.5K version was even one of the "Perfect Ten" VIC-20 games. And Denial is mentioned as the most important VIC-20-forum.

Thanks for the nice feedback. Since you posted this under the VIC can again -demo thread instead of the Retina Display thread maybe you didn't notice that these are actually two different demos: VIC can again presents a very high color flexible multicolor mode in 84x384 pixels, which can also displa...

Neat! You should put in on pouet.net though - demo-people out there need to know the VIC is still alive!

This mode (192x416) was demonstrated in the "Retina-Display" -demo at the Nordlicht Party 2012 yesterday and won a shared 1st place in the Wild competition - I really should have voted for myself, I guess :twisted: You can find a screenshot, the download-archive and a YouTube-video in the ...

Thanks for the package. Just tried them all on the real thing. The picture of the rose is my favorite of those. Some pictures tend to convert better than others.

I used a tool called "DISK-FUELLER" from german 64er magazine "Sonderheft #24" that moves some sectors into unused sectors of track 18, which means you can only have fewer files in the directoy, but get up to 17 more usable blocks. However recently I have used this tool again and...

Thanks for the kind words! Can you upload the converted pics somewhere? Doing the conversions myself I know how difficult it is to find good images to convert and then find the actual best color adjustment so the conversion looks good.
