Re: Ultimem or Final Expansion?

I'm quite familiar with the process of making a rom image with cc65. I also already have an ultiram board to work with.

The zip file contains fighter.bat. This will launch xvic with the correct options to load the program (which is a pair of cart BIN files).

VIC PETSCII Competitions

I'm proposing two VIC-20 PETSCII Competitions to begin at midnight on October 24, 2017 UTC and to end at midnight on November 1, 2017 UTC. Plain PETSCII: 1) Must be a PRG file. No SEQ files. May be BASIC, Assembler, C, just has to be a PRG file. 2) Background/Border may be any color you like, but mu...

Re: Vic 20 user port at no more than 1200 baud?

NinjaTerm supports 2400 baud. I've used it reliably with the EZ232 interface and a RPi. I had mixed results with the Jim Drew WiFi modem.

Re: [WIP] International Karate VIC20 [Ultimem]

You gotta wonder what kind of games would have come out back in the day if they had the tools we have now.

Re: Ultimem or Final Expansion?

Now, I do really think that adapting the EasyFlash file format and EasyFS api would be a HUGE win for the Ultimem. There are many great tools available for EF that you could then leverage.

Re: Ultimem or Final Expansion?

My post got eaten again. :( This time it wasn't me, honestly. In earlier times, the forum software sometimes ate posts if you took a time too long writing it (without either previewing it in-between every so often or submitting a first version right away and then editing it into a final version).

Re: Ultimem or Final Expansion?

I'm working on two projects that would be impossible without banking RAM/ROM. How can you be sure about that? Given a much more faster file I/O from SD card (as I wrote, in excess of 100 KB/s), a full RAM expansion, and a little thoughtful working set tuning should be able to give a comparable perf...

Re: [WIP] International Karate VIC20 [Ultimem]

This is not the only big game coming to the Ultimem. I'm very glad to see this one, as I love IK, it's one of my faves for the C64.
