Re: The Thing version 1

From the Commodore 64 to the Vic 20

Ok, so i am learning 6502 assembly as a way to keep my mind occupied away from the corona-virus and was wondering: How different is the Vic 20 to the C64? would i have to downsize any machine language programs that would normally work on the C64? What about Zero Page? Would there be enough room? I k...

Re: How to assemble code on the commodore PET

well, this is amazing. I'm not a fan of him, too full of himself, but your articles are well written and very informative. I just wish this spat between you and him would end eventually, though it is fun to read. I wonder, was he ever kicked out of his apartment? if so, karma

Re: How to assemble code on the commodore PET

any idea where to start? please don't say PRG studio, it's a pain to set up each time I don't remember it being a painful install process when testing last year - the only issue I had personally was the lack of support for tabs in source code because I'm used to navigating around with the cursor ke...
