Re: wAxpander with wAx2

I've been playing around with this idea lately. It's possible to generate relocatable code without using the symbolic features, if you want to avoid the symbol table's modest memory footprint, or put code in the little $2a2-$2ff nook. One technique is to use offsets from * with arithmetic. Now that ...

Re: Would a VIC-20 Denial code snippet repository on Github be welcome?

I think all you can do is build it and see what happens, right?

Re: Need Vic20 Music/SFX

I did a simple "song" in my 5 line game, "Trails"... here . In line 4. A is a sound channel and F is just an ever-ascending number in the game loop: 4 F=F+1:POKEA,(FAND25)+215 It's a snake game in five lines of BASIC. This was enough music to suffice. :D I love it! There could b...

Re: wAxpander with wAx2

Note: ? just doesn't work as a wildcard. It shows up as PRINT in BASIC listings, which I knew would happen, but it's really distracting. So the equal sign is wildcard, in both cases where wildcard is relevant.

Re: File Command Errors

Yes, macOS requires binary signing, which we can not do automatically. (You can use homebrew to install the svn-head revision though) I might give this a shot! I might come back to this another day. I go round and round with homebrew complaining about how node is installed and linked and I'm just n...

Read the command channel immediately after boot, it returns the firmware version.
Ah, okay! 0.6.6-1, which goes back to like 2008!

Re: File Command Errors

Thank you! So I don’t have to re-read this whole thing, which bug do you mean? The wrong behaviour in VICE when a host directory is mounted via vdrive. Scratch reports one file scratched now, and the rename command reports file exists as it should. Awesome, I appreciate that! I'm not sure what the ...

Re: File Command Errors

That behaviour [persisting messages] can though be rectified by using OPEN15,DN,15,"I0" instead of just a plain OPEN15,DN,15 - doing a drive init to re-read BAM, etc. on program start does do no harm. I did add the drive init to my command-execution code. This actually fixes just about ev...
