Re: Targ

Nice improvement over a good original idea (which I did meet back then in one of the infamous Italian pirated cassettes). Thanks for this, will play it on a real VIC tonight :)

Re: Video noise on VIC-20

I purchased two of them a couple of years ago, one for the 128, and used the C64's also on my VIC-20s. I wasn't aware of this ripple, nor did I notice the video noise (not more than with other PSUs). Now I doubt about those products quality, and unfortunately the Polish one is my only PSU for the 12...

Re: Bible Series I and II reviewed - and possible problem

Thanks Mike, as always :) . This further adaptation of Mike's transfer program comes from a request made by an Italian forum member. Thanks to him, I became aware of the existence of this modern version of the 1581 disk drive, made available as a kit by Francesco Pontecorvo. Googled it, but didn't c...

Re: Vic 20 Noob: trying to load Bewitched

You really found the words to describe what also is my thought about S-Video (I'm using CRT emulation in VICE, too).

Re: An idea for a useless project

It would be a great idea, as the screen would in fact be much more readable than the 64's (and already in the right color scheme, too).

Re: Pole Position not working on Vice

Re: Pole Position not working on Vice

Select full RAM.
Load $A000 first, type NEW, then load $6000. After that, perform a soft reset.
It should work.
