Hey, I've been trying to get the cartridge prg files from zimmers to run with the VIC MIDI. I enable all ram and the programs wont start. Does anyone know how to get these working? Here are the files i'm trying: http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/ ... index.html

There are currently 36 PETSCII BBSes listed on http://cbbsoutpost.servebbs.com/ so that's plenty for me. But ya.. you're right.

@alterus: before you begin to translate significant parts of ViuTerm into machine code, the program should advance in functionality beyond a simple bi-directional copy program. There's no character set conversion at all (a restriction to PETSCII locks you out of 99% of all still existing BBSs). The...

For me having 40 column CG text isn't necessary. In fact, I've also been making some 22 column PETSCII screens for Centronian BBS. The goal is to eventually start up a VIC20 specific BBS that is all 22 column screens. This ViuTerm is the first step :) No point making the VIC20 do something its not g...

I'm sure its possible to get a 40 column colour CG term if you created a custom char set and bitmapped the screen. But the whole point of ViuTerm is that it works on an unexpanded VIC 20. There is no way you'll get a 40 column custom char set plus term code in without a RAM expansion.

Hey everyone, After trying out the existing Vic 20 terminal software it became very clear to me that a new terminal program was needed which supports colour CG mode. So I set about writing one in basic for the unexpanded Vic 20 called ViuTerm (Vic Unexpanded Terminal). It supports baud rates on the ...

Hello everyone! I made a review video of the new VIC MIDI cartridge for Scene World. I show the hardware, what you can do with it, and play some tunes along with a C64 and MSSIAH. Enjoy!

AFAIR There is just the vicmidi software in this 8k ultimem.bin. Correct. I can see about making an ultimem binary with all the games and the midi SW, if wanted. Jim That would be great! But even better would be letting us all know how to make our own ultimem binaries... I would really love to put ...

Oh crazy... I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and it works perfectly. Are you using Windows? I didn't realize this was an issue... I'll fix it. Try right click, save link as...

Your webserver doesn't have a mime type for PRG files. You need to add one with "application/octet-stream" as the value.

Ok I'll look into that. Where you able to download ViuTerm? The download works fine for me...

Hey, I was just looking at the VICMIDI store page ( http://store.go4retro.com/vic-20-midi-cartridge/ ) and see that the Schema's midi software is now included in the cart. Yep. FLash: http://go4retro.com/downloads/VICMIDI/midi/ultimem.bin to your unit. Is there some update firmware we can load up? ...

I've actually been working on a term in basic called ViuTerm. It supports PETSCII and works at 1200 baud. It also has a 1kb buffer, but its still a work in progress. I'll post it sometime soon as a software release for the year.... but until then... I've been beta testing it on my BBS (centronian.se...

Also, any update on the manual for the VICMIDI? We could really use some info about all the features and how to access them using POKE commands, etc.

So, how do I access and use the rs232 port on the VICMIDI? I'd like to write some terminal software for it as it looks like it would be nice and fast.
