Denial

What would you call this is your respective languages

It's a bit hard to find a single word for it, since there is so much unrelated info put together in the table *shrug*

The easter weekend is a convenient date because all german workers have public holiday from friday to monday (same in other european countries i think)

list of BASIC commands -> Liste der BASIC Befehle
Machine Language Monitor -> Maschinensprache-Monitor

german: BASIC (like BASIC language) - this is called BASIC , its a name CHARACTERS - Zeichen or Zeichensatz SCREEN MAP - Bildschirmspeicher MEMORY MAP - I'd not translate this. " Speicherbelegung " would be OK SOUND - Geräusche perhaps. Depends on Context LABELS - Sprungmarken ASSEMBLY - I...

But if you find a game that doesn't, like Capture the Flag or Bandits, just press start and select together

Or you could find the PAL fixes i did for those and patch the megacart rom with them -> hitmen.c02.at/temp/palpatches.zip

Trouble is, PP isn't near the only one of those, and thus far no one had bothered to convert them all It should be fairly easy to do automatically for nearly 100% of the existing VIC20 cartridges - the only question would be which would be the autoritative archive to use and where to upload the fix...

Another possibility is that the filter cap (C39 in this schematic: http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/ ... 1027r2.gif) is dry and needs replacement

My first suspect would be a ground loop, indeed

I can't recommend those PSUs based on cheap Meanwell switching chassis - they produce quite a bit of ripple and they are not suited for being used with a long cable between PSU and connected device. It will be no problem as long as you are using it with a basic non expanded system, but the more expa...

Apple loves to trash their APIs with an OS upgrade - so likely the binaries have to be compiled for ventura.

You can do it yourself fairly easy with "homebrew"

How would you replicate this, you wouldn't be able to include the game code as that would be copyright, so you would have to create something that hosts the game code (which would need to be provided by the end user). Of course the user would have to provide the dump - thats the same with any other...

so assuming for arguments sake it was implemented using dynamically generated 6502 on a PI, you would add a complete PI emulator to VICE in order to play a single (closed source) Vic 20 game? No, I'd just reproduce what the cartridge does, not actually emulate the cartridge (that is way too much wo...

Oh trust me, if that kind of thing would happen, it will be cracked and it will be added to VICE, sooner or later

Reminds me i still have the Prophet64 dumps here

Since the vic20 wasnt designed as a trusted system from the ground up, this will not work - Anything you do can be cracked. You can only make it harder and more annoying to do (and more expensive to manufacture)

Ah i see. Thanks. Again what learned (as we say in good old germany)
