The bitmap shouldnt be a problem - you can do that with a charset matrix.

With fully expanded VIC20, porting Elite sounds quite doable to me - still a lot of work, obviously

Use TapEX -> https://csdb.dk/release/?id=237663

load the tap, select "extract prg" from the menu, and it creates a directory with all files. For vic20 tapes you will probably have a pretty good success rate

It is very unlikely that you found a bug in VICE here.

Yes. However, if there is a reliable way to reproduce this, i'd still like to know

I'd just ask Krill to port his loader...

I mean (hires) scans, using a scanner, not a camera.

Can you do actual scans? The Tape Archive aims for highest quality - i don't think they will accept photos like this

OK apparently the original says you should start it with SYS16384 - and that works https://retrocollector.org/photos/full/26259.jpg Attached is a working .tap :) It would be great if you could make hires scans of the tape cover, box, and the cassette itself - then it can be included in the tape arch...

OK cool.... first, i can confirm this is this game: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=182936

There is some weird problem with the .tap i produced, the autostart does not work for some reason.... (but the data can be extracted and the game started by jumping to the right address)

Will play around a bit

use "chis" in the monitor. its enabled by default in any half recent build

did anybody have a chance to try out the file and see if it runs?

I get load error in VICE - that may be related to how the wav->tap conversion was done

you should clock it for at least 16 cycles first, yes

you shouldnt have to wait, it takes 16 machine cycles to fill the lfsr with 1 bits: enabled:0 bit3:0 bit12:0 bit14:0 bit15:0 gate1:0 gate2:0 gate3:1 gate4:1 lfsr:0001 enabled:0 bit3:0 bit12:0 bit14:0 bit15:0 gate1:0 gate2:0 gate3:1 gate4:1 lfsr:0003 enabled:0 bit3:0 bit12:0 bit14:0 bit15:0 gate1:0 g...

Sorry, i interpreted wrong what you wrote...

yes it requires "enabled" being zero (for some cycles) to start. which it is after reset.

1 AND 1 is 1, not 0

bit 0 of gate4 is either 0 or 1 on each iteration, and ORed into the LFSR ... so thats how 1 bits go into the LFSR
