New Release: Mike's unexpanded type-in collection
Hi, y'all! It's the right time of the year to make this a proper release... finally it's there - my very own collection of 21 games (mostly type-ins) for the unexpanded VIC-20! ( download ): https://dateipfa.de/.Public/denial/images/minigrafik/313.png As Donald's 313 or the VW Beetle (where the Germ...

Re: Challenge: Create or Delete Lines from inside a program
Would Photoshop for Windows make MINIGRAFIK for the VIC irrational? It probably would, if it were not for the fact that Photoshop and its kind do not provide substantial help to actually import images/pictures into the VIC-20. Given the premise, that all this is still about programs/games/applicati...

Re: Challenge: Create or Delete Lines from inside a program
Yet you keep soliciting for help which constantly 'requires' you to think out of the box. A good deal of your problems turn to non-issues once you'd use a better set of tools. Sometimes you behave like a strange mechanic who not only insists to tap threads into the bare metal (which is quite usual),...

Works for me. You should try to clear the browser cache (joshuadenmark hinted at changes of the browser cookies for the forum).

Re: WIP: Doom
Judging from a thread over at lemon64, VIC Doom is already gaining a good reputation as RAM testing tool. :lol: One should say thank you to Torsten for pointing out there that TDE isn't needed in VICE (after all, VIC Doom runs happily from SD2IEC devices as well), and 32K + 3K RAM expansions *are* r...

Re: Challenge: Create or Delete Lines from inside a program
It requires the use of the Programmer's Aid cart. [...] ... which, for one, is contained in the Mega-Cart. I know you own one. Especially the toolkit of the Programmer's Aid cart is only used during program development. All the commands can only be used from direct mode. Which also means that a pro...

Re: Suggestions for GP cart
Can you point to a link or document that explains the idiosyncrasies? Main issue was, that in Super-RAM mode, the RAM could only be switched in whole 32K blocks, which made the implemenation of the RAM Disk (or any other use) difficult to say the least. * I found 8Mb (1MB) RAM and FLASH for not a t...

Re: Release: Pooyan
Nice!
When I played a second stint (and I did considerably better than on my first try), the game didn't update the high-score display.

Re: Fun with CBM arithmetics
and dont forget that the typical error is 1 or 2 _binary_ units (powers of two!) Yes, that's what I meant in the first place. well, i dont know according to what standard (if any) the floats in cbm basic have been implemented, so its hard to tell whether this is acceptable or not. The implementatio...

Re: Fun with CBM arithmetics
groepaz, this is not just the occasional rounding error with 1, maybe 2 units wrong in the lowest place we're talking about here. It's a *defect* in the float to ASCII conversion which happens under reproducable circumstances and which, when happens, outputs a grossly wrong result. If you enter PRIN...

Re: Suggestions for GP cart
You could interpret the bit pairs of the two enable/RAM/ROM registers as follows: %00: no access (BLK appears like unconnected space to the CPU) %01: BLK points to ROM chip %10: BLK points to RAM chip, read only %11: BLK points to RAM chip, read/write The five page registers for RAM1..3, BLK1..3 and...

Re: Suggestions for GP cart
I can add these features to the CPLD, but is there a Mega-Cart or FE3-approved location for these features? Mega-Cart or FE3 use a set of registers in the I/O2 ($9800 .. $9BFF) or I/O3 ($9C00 .. $9FFF) range of addresses. Of course the exact mapping of these registers is only relevant for their res...

Re: Fun with CBM arithmetics
I guess I shouldn't calculate my taxes on the VIC. For the moment being, yes. However, I've found strong hints, that only the conversion of CBM floats to decimal output is affected. C64, C16/C116/+4 and even the V4 machines show the same error, but the C128 gets it right, so Commodore got aware of ...

Just thought I'd like to share this one:
Look what happens after '.75' is output.
Code: Select all
1 FORT=-100TO100
2 PRINT3/4+T/1E9
3 NEXT

Re: Forum moved to new host
I already made a similar proposal at the very beginning of this thread with the offer to include the 'Denial' caption (and the '[Return Home]' caption of course as well), with perspective correctly applied to the VIC-20 logo, and with the necessary background colour - but what do we get instead ...?...
