You could do VIC-sound on one side of the tape and samples on the other. Not a big fan of the samples myself, it's nice that it works but the VIC-sounds are much clearer and otherwise just as good. Regarding expansions: Nowadays most expanders will provide +35K (Penultimate, FE3, MegaCart). So that ...

Not sure if requiring +37K is a good idea, I can only think UltiMem supporting this. I tried the 1388 demo in VICE with only +35K and it was still working as far as I can see. What is the 37K used for? ($9800-$9fff) If space is tight, I would propose two different versions for normal music and sampl...

I'd say if the illegal opcodes are used unintentionally and serve no true purpose (i.e. making code faster or more compact) they warrant a crack/hack to improve them. Otherwise I only know of VIC Doom that uses illegals, and Kweepa already regrets this since the effect seems minor. One of my graphic...

Wow, this looks really polished now and the extra courses and pitstops are nice addons! If you can still add things (+35K instead of +32K for example) some "racing"-music at the menu / title display or sounds for the traffic lights at the beginning would be nice. While this is now a great ...

Thanks, surprisingly the general technique for this was already done in March 1980 and is even a testprog in the VICE-repo: https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/code/HEAD/tree/testprogs/PET/hi-res/ You can read more about that in the original magazine on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/Cursor...

Cheers, it is actually 88x200 updating 11 characters instead of just 10 per line.

Hmm, I checked the USPS-site and entered your dimensions. The the cheapest I could find was "First-Class Mail International" ($13.50 to Germany, $6.03 to Canada). https://www.usps.com/international/first-class-mail-international.htm You can try yourself here: https://postcalc.usps.com/ Val...

PROBLEM: 1. Lulu only offers the lowest print quality available for global distribution. 60lb. paper. Sigh. (I promised heavy stock.) 2. Lulu only offers one sided covers! I planned the book for my printer and designed a four side color cover. 3. Coil binding is not available for global distributio...

"Unintended" seems to be the genereal consensus nowadays. "Undocumented" makes it read as if they were intented but just not documented. The "No More Secrets"-PDF that is updated each year at Christmas also calls them "unintended" and this seems to be the go-t...

It could always be a bad connection. That other carts work does not say much, since the MegaCart may well use different memory-areas and pins than the standard game-cartridge. Have you tried plugging the MegaCart in and out a few times (at least 5?). This may improve the connection. I know my MegaCa...

Haha when the VIC took off its box, I was a little excited. I thought it might strip down to the circuitry. That actually was the first idea, however the converted images of the mainboard did not look that good, so I came up with the idea of the "recursive" final picture for the VIC from ...

Tokra, Mike - if I added Interlace to the PAL FPGA, do you think you'd be able to put together a demo that shows it off? Hehe, "able to" - yes, probably. Should not be much different than NTSC. However I am not really interested in doing so :mrgreen: Effectively this would only work on yo...

With a 160x192 mode you can get 40x24 chars. This fits in the 4K-area from $1000-$1fff. Use chars 16 to 255 at $1000 and start the character-RAM at $1100. This has been the standard-setup and has been used by MINIGRAFIK i.e. Otherwise you are correct. You cannot get more than 24K contiguos RAM with ...
