there are some resources: codebas64.org - c64 centric, but still lots of generic things there cc65 on github - the library sourcecode can be useful to look up small fundamental routines (multiply two numbers or sth like that) 6502.org - has a bunch of nice articles on fundamental things the fridge (...

the period when the line is pulled low by the VIC is about 64µs (really 64 cycles perhaps?) and the sample period is about ~441µs (PAL) or ~443µs (NTSC) (512 cycles eh?) (obvious measurement errors included). (its really easy to see when you measure it with a scope :)) also, your circuit should neve...

i'd be in with 2 or 3 perhaps... but i have no use for 25 so they are complete? and they are NTSC i guess?

are they populated with all ICs?

VICE 3.2 release announcement ============================= The next iteration of VICE is here. This release features a lot of bug fixes and some new additions. For details on what has been fixed and what new features have been added, check the NEWS file, or the Changelog for more detailed informati...

not the first time this happens...

unfortunately noone created a proper linker configuration for cartridges yet... so what you need to is basically: - find out what the "header" for a vic20 cartridge is. this should be fairly easy (on the C64 there are two vectors, followed by "CBM80" - iirc this is very similar o...

there is no format comparable with .crt for the vic20 (yet) - you'll have to use plain .bin files (raw binaries with no headers) as for making a vic20 cartridge from your code, you generally have two options: either reconfigure the cc65 linker to produce an actual cartridge image (designed to run fr...

The C128 does have a respectable amount of business software.

and as we all know, spreadsheets and wordprocessors is what people are using on 8bit computers in 2018

yeah but that was a trivial job compared to what those people are dreaming of (a graphical OS, a web browser, a IDE with a compiler, etc)

i totally understand that it might become an interesting artefact in history. however, if you look at what people are already dreaming up regarding the mega65 - its really obvious those things most likely will not happen, and they will be disappointed.

It may be an interesting piece of computer history, but I don't really get the excitement over the Mega65. There may be a handful of demos for it (like for the C64DTV and C128), but people shouldn't project all their hopes for fantastic software to it, they will be disappointed.

yup

it had nothing to do with resources - the 8bit era was really over by that time, and the amiga was the (only) logical choice.

what a cute troll we have there

try harder
