I noticed that the stairs are thinner in the original version of the game... is there a reason why in this VIC version they are wider? (not saying that you should modify them of course!) It's a quite simple reason. Many screen elements you are looking at in this implementation of Pitfall do not exi...

[...] speaking of which, I've noticed a lot of recent Vic releases have a nice hi-res loader screen. Does anyone want to code one? Well, even a raw convert of the Intellivision game box into 104x256 FLI already would look like this: https://dateipfa.de/.Public/denial/images/games/pitfall.png IMO, t...

I tried to load it about 5 times with no success [...] That happens because of a wrong load address in the *.prg file. Saved BASIC programs (also ML programs with a BASIC stub) are supposed to start at $120 1 with a +8K (or bigger) RAM expansion. The byte containing 0 at $1200 is not saved along wi...

As I wrote earlier, the resolution of 184x208 pixels is intended as stop-gap measure until I find time to implement the 168x384i display routine.

Hmm..., this one employs an EOR mask, but it's longer and needs two temporaries: STA temp LSR A EOR temp AND #$55 STA temp2 ASL A ORA temp2 EOR temp If you don't mind undocumented opcodes, you can replace the instruction pair ASL A/ORA temp2 with SLO temp2 . The instruction pair LSR A/EOR temp also ...

@wimoos: How about these two? LDX #4 ASL A .loop PHP ASL A ADC #0 PLP ROL A DEX BNE loop TAY AND #$55 ASL A STA temp TYA AND #$AA LSR A ORA temp ;) This would be time critical so perhaps a look up table might be a good idea, although I would need a separate table per required set of mappings I guess...

That's a nice solution indeed. It uses the Accumulator as temporary storage for the carry flag (ROL A and LSR A could be replaced by PHP and PLP to illustrate that better, but that would of course cost some cycles). And no need to load A with 0 four times My variant is slightly more flexible though,...

The metal labels cannot shield RF. For this to work well, even connecting the labels to ground would not be sufficient, it also would have required a completely metalized cartridge case. For a similar reason, the metalized cardboard 'RF shield' is not effective, as the RF can leak out to all sides: ...
