Re: Archon - Unexpanded VIC 20 Version

It should be one of those supported by VICE and one that is also popular. How many people have these for VIC? I'd probably create it as a separate program build, just to...

Re: Archon - Unexpanded VIC 20 Version

Thanks Mike, I just heard about this from Misfit/Mika as well and fixed it :) Archon is now updated in Dropbox and in the Denial releases thread. I'll check your boot program, could be useful in the future! (The bug was actually not just in the boot, but also in the file ARCHON, which assumed that i...

Re: Ways of scrolling and question for character memory

[...] is the scrolling achieved using tricks with $9001 / rasters This. (Presumably) in addition with special values in $9000 to access odd raster positions - the YPOS register alone would only let you position the screen window on even raster positions. This is how I scrolled to odd raster positio...

Re: Porting PLATOTERM to the VIC-20

Ok, so... from what I see here, and with memory map, this pretty much means that a PLATOTERM for the VIC-20 would have to come on cartridge. I can JUST fit PLATOTERM in about 16K (The Atari cartridge version I made fits in this space). I'll also need to modify the user-port-2400 routines I have for...

That would look nice, but unfortunately, there's not enough memory for 2 full screen bitmaps.
