One is working through composite video. O.K. I read about that one in another thread. At first, let's assume the modulator is at fault here, and concentrate on the two defective VIC-20s. All use two prong power supply. I have multimeter [...] I suppose the fuse is in order. With voltage measurement...

You could (have) use(d) IC extraction tools that can grip longer chips from both sides, and wiggle until the chip pops out. As a rule of thumb, you should test a suspected defective chip in a functioning unit (i.e., VIC-20) - never the other way round. If there's something that killed your VIC in yo...

However, I haven't given up on this, and now and then I spend time on it. Well then, I also have my share on unfinished projects on the VIC-20. ;) Of course there's no fixed deadline for hobbyist projects (unless there's something like a demo-party and you want to attend a compo with the result of ...

So, one year after my last post in this thread, how's the progress? I was somehow disappointed that, IMO, the project went into a mix of hibernation and creepy featurism instead of producing a working prototype that could also be tested by other people. :? For me, the most interesting aspects were t...

Today I ported a display hack over to the VIC-20, which I had originally programmed on the C128 some 25 years ago. Its name, 'Munching Squares', is an hommage to a similar program which saw the light of day on the PDP-10 as early as 1962! Here's the BASIC source. The *.d64 file ( download ) features...

I wonder if given an unlimited size drive of some sort what sort of video you could get out of the vic20. Obviously it would be RAW, but what is the best resolution you could come up with? Or even with 24k of ram, maybe a looping animation. Feel free to try it out. I don't own a monopoly on graphic...

C64? What C64?

The perspective of the dungeon in this screenshot looks rather strange, so to speak.

On a side note, do you think the "unit" command should be renamed to "dev"? I used the "unit" term because it's used by cc65, which covers many non-cbm systems as well so it must be generic, but I understand the most used cbm term for it is "device", shortcut...

TBH, I never found any use for the printer emulation in VICE. If you turn off true drive emulation, you can set drive #8 to a directory on the host PC (see Settings > peripheral settings ...) and print the program to a file like thus: OPEN2,8,2,"LISTING.TXT,S,W":CMD2:LIST PRINT#2:CLOSE2 Th...

Does the ram disk work well with other cc65 compiled programs? I remember during the beta-test phase Kananga and I stumbled across some issues with CBM-Command - don't remember which ones, and whether they could be resolved at the end, though. OTOH, the FE3 RAM Disk neatly installs into the KERNAL ...

These spammers obviously don't need any activation for their accounts.

Obviously the web server/forum software has been compromised, big time.
