Re: "Ultimate Expansion" - new firmware for FE3

A new release (1.6) with another new feature. I've added a simple directory/image navigator (F2 from the main menu). This allows you to easily traverse a directory tree on the SD card, including entering images, and then boot to BASIC without needing loader files. Download link: https://eden.mose.or...

Re: Mega Vault by Imagine .PRG file

I don't think it's possible to create a single .PRG file for this game. It contains several files that all load to the same address (except the last one) (cbm) file 0:* LOADER (SYS850): PRG, size=69 bytes, start=$0352 STAGE1: PRG, size=4098 bytes, start=$1000 STAGE2: PRG, size=1026 bytes, start=$100...

Re: Assembly: Detect when result rolls over from 255 to 0

When adding to the accumulator using ADC, how can I detect whether a zero roll-over has taken place? That's precisely what the carry bit is for, so your original code should have been bcc inc_src_hi_ptr_done There are a number of implementations of block moves in the 6502.org code repository, http:...

How can I disable the joystick port from the command line? I can see lots of options for configuring/adding joysticks in the VICE manual but nothing to actually remove the Keyset A setting.

Re: Making a cheap Power supply.

The VIC-20 (and C64) need 9V AC (alternating current) on pins 6 and 7. Don't connect 9V DC to either pin, you'll probably fry something.

I built a PSU for an early two pin model, I used a toroidal transformer for that.

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone

No worries, it was fun. It's a really good game, the action is very smooth. I didn't notice any glitches while I was playing.
