4ty - 40x25 interlaced text mode on unexpanded VIC 20

http://i.imgur.com/pMT0KJ2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pydhwf8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Cb2R7KB.jpg There's a bunch of 40 column programs created for VIC, but I believe this one is different. Instead of slowly drawing nybbles to a huge bitmap, 4ty switches rapidly between two text fields of standard text ...

Re: Maxi-/Uber-Edit

Great work Tokra! I was actually a bit surprised that all this could be done without hacking the ROM :) Of course, people have done 40-wide screen routines before, but this one is much more useful, because it's fast!

Re: WIP: Vicious SID Converter

Great converter, Kananga! And a nice pack of songs from Tokra too. Has anyone else successfully converted other SID tunes recently? I've just "ported" the Sid Vicious code to C64 and optimized it for pulse waveform only - (NMI no longer needs x-register and C64 NMI doesn't need to jump thr...

Re: New release: Dropout

Very nice game and highly polished to make it playable! Of course this: - PAL version does a graphics hack to display 12x8 pixel square blocks interests me the most. From what I can see you mean 8x12 pixel blocks (x by y) not 12x8. I see from a quick peek in the VICE-monitor that you seem to flip-v...

It's not either one of those two. A mystery game.

Galactica - Can you find this old game?

There's an old VIC 20 game I vaguely remember from 1985-1986, but which I never found later online in any games collections. I don't know if it was a commercial game or a type-in listing in a magazine or a book. I copied it from friend. Here's everything I can remember - Do you recognize the game an...

Re: NTSC VIC 20 visible screen size

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe 29 will be enough... :) Have you measured the pixel ratio? VICE suggests 0,833 (as in my emulator screenshot), but when comparing to real life VIC video captures (and how I remember it) something like 0,750 would be closer?

NTSC VIC 20 visible screen size

Quick question - On NTSC unexpanded VIC 20 do you get all 30 lines visible on your screen with these pokes: poke36865,8 poke36867,188 If not all lines are visible, then how many? (You can count the 7 lines of garbage). Can you make more lines visible on your monitor by making 36865 smaller than 8? J...

Victorian Era VIC 20 Sound Chip Emulator

Not strictly VIC, but maybe you find this interesting :-) Victorian Era emulates VIC 20 sound chip on a Commodore 64. Standalone player plays any Fisichella songs straight out of the box and it's easy to adapt it to any other VIC music routine. The demo music box has 35 VIC tunes by 4-mat, Britelite...
