Re: WIP VIC32 - 32-column 'pet loader' style program
Would a 20-line screen affect readability? Isn't it just 'extending' the vertical screen-height by 4 more rows? (and obviously using-up more RAM) I remember, back in the day, POKEing around in BASIC to get the VIC screen as big as possible. It was a bit like good-old Amiga overscan and I often wonde...

Re: WIP VIC32 - 32-column 'pet loader' style program
Fantastic! Looks great... It is almost like a VZ-200 (my 1st computer too!), but with LOWER-CASE as well and better colour-modes and better sound, etc. etc!
What would be the maximum theoretical (text) screen size you could manage on a Vic?
Cheers,
Mike.

Re: 32-column 'pet loader' style program
That would be great, as being part-time WinVICE user (or perhaps, just a total cabbage-head), getting a .prg to loads as a disk file has me stumped.
Cheers,

Re: 32-column 'pet loader' style program
Hi,
I'm trying to get this running in WinVICE (3.5), but am having no luck.
I've tried various RAM config, putting 8K at A000 and another 8K at 2000, but no go.
Any idea on which settings I should look into?
Cheers,
Mike.

Re: VICE 3.5 has been released
What's the difference between the "SDL" and "GTK" versions? The last version of WinVICE I used was 3.2, then they did something to the GUI which made it pretty-much unusable for me - used to be a 'standard' Windows-looking program, but they changed the entire layout-engine, or so...

Re: The Vic-20 launching Oct 2020
Finally available in Australia - via the slightly convoluted route of amazon.com.au <- amazon.co.uk!
But price and shipping are both reasonable, so I gambled the cash, along with at least a dozen other Aussie Vic-20 enthusiasts.
Cheers,
Mike.

Re: NOS Vic-20 cart games (Tas, Australia)
Never used a Beeb in my life - but I always secretly want one!

Thank you for the link to the cart games. I'm sure they'll soon find happy homes.

NOS Vic-20 cart games (Tas, Australia)
Hi Guys,
Just came across this ad on the dreaded FB...
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... 3648938754
Not mine and I have no connection to the seller, but I thought they looked interesting and not too pricey.
Cheers,
Mike.

Anyone in the UK willing to buy one for me and post it on to me in Australia?
I'll cover all costs...

Sounds good, Andy. Looking forward to both games!
P.S. You might want to update your main website - can't see any reference to Pumpkid...

Re: New Game: Pumpkid
Hey Andy, have you a game in-mind, or are you open to suggestions? I know a lot of us less-talented programmers long for Vic-20 versions of some classic C-64 releases... (hint H.E.R.O.!) How about a poll to see what would be most requested, or are you more into original creations? Cheers, Mike. Than...
