VIC-20 in Australia
I was fortunate enough to recieve a large stack of "Electronics Australia" magazines from my Grandfather-inlaws estate, from the time when the VIC-20 was new. I'll be going through them, as time allows, looking for any VIC-20 related stuff to scan and put up for all to see. I guess I bette...

tlr,
That's an excellent description of the conversion process. Well done!
A valuable contribution to the information pool.
Do you have somewhere suitable on your site (or someone elses) where it could be stored as a doc?

What about home made cases? One thought was to make it out of MDF, with inserts of plastic screwed to cover routed cutouts. Another idea I've also seen done as a PC case is say a VIC-20 built into one of the aluminium briefcases you can purchase. Complete with built in power supply for VIC, disk dri...

PC Keyboard Interface for VIC-20
I've been considering modding a VIC-20 to fit into a small format PC case (or something similar), but one of the problems I've had is with the ribbon cable required to attach the keyboard to the motherboard. It is too big and bulky (read ugly). So I figured that I could replace the VIC-20 keyboard w...

OK...after further investigation, it seems as though there are quite a few games which are using the multicolor characters. The resolution, however, seems to be a real killer. http://www.retrogames-retrocomputer.com/ This is a site that I hadn't come across before and has a great presentation of scr...

Don't most games do this? Not from what I've seen on the VIC. Most of them only use 2 colors per character...foreground and background. OK, so they can be different for every character on the screen, but each character still only uses 2 colors. I'm interested in ones which have the multicolor bit s...

Games which use Multicolor characters
I really like the game Dragon Wing, although it is extremely difficult, and think that the graphics and motion is exceptionally smooth. I was interested to know of any other games which use the multicolor character mode of the Vic. I moved this question to the programming forum, as it's really from...

The direct-to-TV style controllers can be hacked back into an NES (See Ben Heck's page http://benheck.com/Games/Nintendo_projects/NESp/NESp%20page%201.htm ) What I would like to know is whether it is possible to hack the Pocket Boy Micro (as it is sold here in Australia). Maybe to add some SRAM so t...

I use both. Mostly I use an emulator for a quick look at games to see what they're like, and definitely when developing. But if I'm going to play a game seriously, I'd rather do it on the original machine. Mostly I use disks, but I'd like to put some games on tape (just for the hell of it.) I just h...
