SD2IEC-Ready Games Collection (1986 onwards)

I've been working on this for a couple of months on and off and thought it was now in a position to show off. https://i.imgur.com/U8Sj29F.png I Have tried to collate together every game for the VIC-20 released from 1986 till the Present into one folder which can be dropped straight onto an SD Card t...

Re: 9 Pin based Joypad with 5 fire buttons?

I was just playing around with my vectrex the other day and noticed it had the 9pin connector. Didn't even think about it. But it kind of shows how all the systems COULD have had 4 buttons and we wouldn't have had to settle for up as jump

Re: 9 Pin based Joypad with 5 fire buttons?

No I wasn't suggesting analogue joysticks I meant have a connection with a set amount of resistance. To use those pins as buttons they would just need to check that the pin was recieving something. And the paddles don't really have anything special inside them so while it would be a little more expe...

9 Pin based Joypad with 5 fire buttons?

I was just looking at Atari 9-pin connections for the 2600/Vic20/C64 and paddles and joysticks and all that. I was thinking couldn't they have combined the joystick and paddle controls and left the U D L R pins free for more binary controls? The ports allow for two analogue controls and 5 binary swi...

Re: Super Mario Bros for VIC-20

Still up on lemon when I looked and got it.

Will have to load it up on the sd2iec

To be fair so long as Nintendo do it after it's finished and released it just leads to more people checking it out.

Anyone know anything about TRS-80 / Colour Genie?

This isn't Vic-20 related but I've be trying to rip a game that seems to be a 'lost game' at the moment Micronopoly for the Colour Genie 32k http://i.imgur.com/7hfIozCl.jpg I made a few .cas files for use with the emulator but they all seem to have errors except one which runs and resets the emulato...

Re: ** New Frontiers in VIC-Hires-Graphics, Part 11

I don't think this is quite ready for making a strip poker game with yet, waiting 20 seconds or so to load the picture :) If you use SJLOAD with a JiffyDOS-enabled drive, things should speed up quite a bit. :) Tokra and I use a C64SD Infinity on our VIC-20s and it's just so much more convenient tra...

Re: ** New Frontiers in VIC-Hires-Graphics, Part 11

Had to really boost the edges and saturation to get that popping. O.K. It's one of the things I didn't include in the converter and also didn't feel the need for, because pre-processing is quite easily done on the PC for the most part. Yeah I never really knew what I was doing with the options on o...

Re: ** New Frontiers in VIC-Hires-Graphics, Part 11

Thanks for your help, got a little confused as a previous thread said image.ppm rather than input ppm But got it worked out I think, takes longer to load on the real thing than on Vice, but gives you much more time to react. http://i.imgur.com/on5CAy8l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ysh6cKIl.jpg http://i.im...
