The program I wrote will ONLY work on real NTSC-machines, not in VICE (yet). So, time to get those SD-drives fixed ;) Yeah, I'm really sorry. I only had access to my Vic for a couple days. It needs some major pot adjustment and holding the wire is kind of a pain...I just never got around to it. :oo...

My uiec cable broke (I had the older model), so if I can be troubled to hold it to the VIC long enough to test this I'll do it next week. I can say right now though that I recall similarly peculiar colors with my machines to the extent that pictures I made with MINIPAINT in an emulator look terrible...

Thank you for wondering Mike, and thanks for your kind words OBSysteme. :) Wow, I can't believe it's already been over a year since the last update. Where does the time go!? :shock: I haven't made a ton of progress, and it's been a while since I've touched the code. I'll have to look through it to s...

I really wished you'd said you were working on that... :P
Fantastic job though. It looks extremely complete.

I've been reluctant to release this disassembly because it's pretty rough. There are a lot of TODO's in here that could use a look at. Also, I forgot how large a chunk of the kernal is dedicated to tape access. Since that was not relevant to JiffyDOS, it remains uncommented for now. As I said before...

It is a very nice picture! But, as a Pokemon expert ;), I can tell you that it is not a Pokemon. Similar to one though.
I'm also interested to hear if there's been any activity with this project.

Sorry, I didn't intend for that to be the focus of my post, but looking back I see it is. I suppose I don't see an issue with sharing the documented unmodified kernal. Give me 2-3 weeks. I'm at school (away from my computer) until the end of next week.

Maybe I should actually read what the Chameleon does - I thought it was a VGA output for the Vic-II chip on the C64 but I could be wrong. Dreams are free. As you've probably figured out, it is unfortunately waaaay more involved than that. If you want VGA out from the VIC-20 you're looking at a simi...

I think it would make a useful group project for the forums. If may be able to make that a very short project. :) I made an almost completely documented disassembly based off of Harlekin/Fairlight's C64 JiffyDOS disassembly last summer while working on a Vic-20 JiffyDOS port (still plan on finishin...

Yay! I liked this a lot.
edit: Oops, should've read the readme :mrgreen:
The expanded version is great! It has a very cozy vibe. Perfect for the season. Thanks, Kananga. :)

I ended up not being able to stay the second day. I got back this morning, and am happy to report that it was really fun. I love listening to everyone talk about various things Commodore. I picked up some new fun stuff too: a 1541, JiffyDOS for the 1541, and a ZoomFloppy. Anyway, I took a few photos...

It's coming up! I'll be there at least for most of Saturday. I may potentially be there for the whole event.

It's a challenge seeing something all the way through to completion in this hobby, so congratulations for finishing this project at all. I just played it for a bit with the numpad in VICE, and my only real criticism is that the action seemed a little choppy/fast. If you used software sprites for the...

Yeah, 648 is set after the RAM test on start up and afaik nowhere else in the KERNAL. Obviously that will wipe your memory in the process. As long as the POKE works, that's not too ugly of a solution I guess.
