Yeah there really isn't much to the paddles once you open them up, I have about 4 sets of 2600 ones and once I opened them all up, carefully cleaned all the black stuff off the contacts and reassembled them they all worked perfectly. There's not alot else that can go wrong, there's no chips or anyth...

I have chatted via email with the guy who programmed this, a few months ago, unfortunatly life has got in the way of getting this transferred to an emulator compatible file, so haven't been ableto go any further. He has a bunch more tapes of his old games as well.

I was getting worried.

Does seem like they probably don't want sites that don't use that much resources, they want ones that will pay for the dedicated servers.

This cart does dound good, and by the waiting times it seems I better get in line, where can I pre-order one of these?

How does it compare to the Behr Bonz?

1: I guess get the tap files and use a tap to wav convert then record them to a tape. Though personally I think the SD2IEC is but preferable, especially since much of the software is in disk format. 2: Normal joysticks are fine, don't use a megadrive one or your computer will explode. 3: Buy a C64 C...

Would the Vic-20 be able to do games featuring polygons like Castle Master, Total Eclipse & Driller?
Would the 1.108Mhz 8502 processor be faster to do this than the 0.985 MHz 8510

Are there any examples of games like this?

I agree if you want a vic with graphic and sound enhancements you may as well just use a c64. The appeal for me is the Vic as a relic from a certain point in time and seeing the things that could have been possible if people knew then what they know now. I'm not even sure why I'm more obsessed with ...

Thanks for the explanation, not sure I fully understand it but get the idea. Vic-20 is very odd with it's memory though isn't it? I don't know if the ZX81 had similar issues with it's expansions. When I said it was rare I meant the amount of games I've found that are made for it from 1986 onwards. I...

Been playing with this, really neat little breekout clone. Was a bit confused when I came here as I'd been playing the final release and here it said unexpanded, then downloaded the unexpanded first version. what a difference assembly makes. Just wondering though what is the difference between using...

Been having fun playing this game really makes the VIC look and sound good.

Only thing that holds it back is that music distortion. So if that could be fixed this would be near perfect. Also if the tune could be bit longer, not that many people will hear it going by comments my best is 21.

Maybe you can add the source as well for the type-ins, so one can look up the corresponding magazine. Reason I didn't include this is that it doesn't help those who just want to use the pack and list to play the games which I guess is most. Plus it seems like some games were printed in multiple mag...

Thanks for doing this! I haven't looked yet, but is there a way to separate PAL/NTSC games? Sorry I didn't even think about that. I'm in a PAL region so don't have a problem with pretty much any game. There are a couple that come with pal and NTSC versions both contained in the game's folder but it...

Well I rewired a ko megadrive 6 button pad. But now I'm planning on making my own. The dpad is the hard part though

One thing I didn't like about the competition pro was the really stiff stick, Zip Stick is superior. The buttons on the comp pro were also awful. I find using one of these nowadays my hands get tired quite quickly especially with something like Centipede, better with a joystick you don't have to hol...

Oooh! Very nice! I see missing are some never-completed, yet playable games by Victragice like "Blazer" and "Galaxy Renegade", which are so great they need to be on the list. Added them, when I do an update they'll be included Glad people like it. Would preople prefer being list...
