Denial

Thanks! Much appreciated. Feel free to chip in with ideas anytime. This isn't a closed project. I've hit a little wall with the mode I thought I had down already. I'm looking to implement a mode that has a maximum number of pixels while still being displayable on most monitors and TVs, without using...

Another quick idea... this time for the maximum NON-interlaced NTSC-mode. On standard setting NTSC is able to display something like 192x216 (that's what my projector is able to display for example). I've checked with my Commodore 1084-monitor on overscan as well. The maximum resolution is 200x232 t...

You need to switch the 1571 in double side mode by sending a special command to the drive before to use it on a Vic-20. Example for drive 8 OPEN 15,8,15,"U0>M1":CLOSE15 Only if you really want to use a double-sided disk. Normally you would not need to send any command if you use single-si...

Great little tool, thanks! I gave it a try, and you're right. Most SIDs won't convert because of failing INIT oder too many ZP-addresses. Some even convert badly or not at all. I tried to convert M.U.L.E. and while finishing conversion this sounded completely unsynced. I found the ones by Rob Hubbar...

Really looking forward to the GCart 8k Internal - if this enable VFLI-modes without the need for soldering, I'm sold already

Just out of interest: Do you think the 6502 ROM/RAM expansion would also allow for the VIC to address BLK0 completely?

Two ideas: - update of a dynamic area in the ZP could already begin when its first line has been displayed (you'd then update the bitmap with a 8 byte interleave), This would only work for the zeropage, not for the stack though, and the total number of bytes to be updated would remain the same. - m...

While developing all those graphic-modes, sometimes I took a step back and thought about how I would implement some of the older modes with the new knowledge or what could be achieved instead with the new knowledge. I'll pop up with some ideas here now and then (hopefully). Let's start with a new PA...

This will explain how the graphic mode used in the VIC can again -demo came about. After last years release of the MFLI-mode for the PAL VIC-20, I was looking for new frontiers on the VIC. I knew the NTSC VIC-20 had an interlace feature, however apart from a small font-demo by Marko Mäkelä I could n...

Please find a YouTube Link for your viewing pleasure. Took some time to record and convert so it would look good on YouTube. I also updated the download-archive , since I found a minor bug in the loader. It would only work on 32K not 24K-expansions before. Since some fastloaders use BLK5 these were ...

Which firmware version does your uIEC have? You can check by reading the error channel right after a reset like this open1,10,15,"uj":input#1,a,b$,c,d:printa,b$,c,d:close1 You can get recent (0.10.3) firmware at http://www.sd2iec.de - just unzip sd2iec-0.10.3-binaries.zip to the root of th...

Thanks, but no: PAL is completely impossible, since the VIC-6561 does not support the interlace-feature. Only the VIC-6560 has that one. So while PAL has a larger overall display area (208x256) NTSC beats that by using interlace which adds flicker to the picture. Take your pick. The screenshot above...

Clue:

(wont't run on emulators)

So, no. You need the real machine. Maybe a later version of VICE will support interlace-mode as well.

darkatx: Thanks for the image, this looks similar to mine (Light orange being more pinkish)

Jeff-20: The more the better. Did you try to switch the directory like this?
