Re: g – an Ultimem OS/GUI under construction
Finding this made my day. What license is this under? I want to use some of your boot loader code with my project. BSD. Free as a bird. :) Superb. We need to get together and talk about combining efforts. You've done everything I've planned to do on the back-end, but I think a more modern approach ...

Re: Robo-VIC: An Android Inspired GUI
I wrote a quick memory configurator for Ultimem last night and saw a consistent behavior. When I applied a value to the registers and the Ultimem was there, leaving the program resulted in a soft-boot with the correct configuration. When I didn't have Ultimem in place, the program just drops back to...

Re: Robo-VIC: An Android Inspired GUI
Is there a way to safely detect the presence of the Ultimem?

Re: Robo-VIC: An Android Inspired GUI
I got my Ultimem today. O. M. G. I've wondered if an EasyFlash like thing would ever be created for the VIC20..... I cannot believe it's not more widely known about. I bought it on a whim to get a memory expander. I didn't even know it had a writable flash system. Now, posting this in the Robo-VIC t...

Re: Robo-VIC: An Android Inspired GUI
I have an idea after installing JiffyDOS in my VIC20. I wonder if it'd be useful to make a Robo-VIC Kit available that would have replacement ROMs for the chargen and basic. Instead of booting to basic, you'd boot to Robo-VIC. We could make the chip switchable like JiffyDOS so you can still use the ...

Re: How to use redefined characters in CC65
The goal of my personal project is to write a little fun game for nearly all 8 bit computers (+ TI/994a which technically is 16 bit) Whatever makefile solution I decide to use, should work with CC65 (6502), SDCC (Z80), ZSDCC (Z80), SCCZ80 (Z80) and CMOC (6809), GCC for TI (TMS9900), C99C (TMS9900)....

Re: How to use redefined characters in CC65
Thanks a lot! I am trying to understand more now how the CFG works. I did not know that one should use pragmas to specify the segment. I thought it was done automatically by the linker. So, I need to figure out which part of the code should go to which segment. I guess I can do this by looking at t...

Re: SuperCPU for the Vic-20
So the DB25 will basically be a breakout? It would be nice to have another joystick port, at least one USB host port, and the aforementioned PS/2 port. A breakout box to this would be perfect. BTW, will you be sourcing and selling cases for this? I think that'd be worth some extra $$$ to me so I don...

Re: How to use redefined characters in CC65
Oliver Schmidt's universal makefile for cc65 is just about perfection.

Re: Cross development with real hardware
I think the Princess4 Ultra is what you need ? You can use the built in Bluetooth to access the executables on your PC directly on the VIC20 http://www.manosoft.it/?wpsc-product=c64sd-v4-0-princess-ultra#more-3920 The new board included Jetgrab logical for work also at Standalone Mode . The new C64...

Re: Robo-VIC: An Android Inspired GUI
Is there a way to split the VIC screen into two modes, like the VIC-II can? I would like to offer the ability to mix multicolor graphics with the standard text mode of the UI. It would be really cool to allow the app to determine where the split would happen (example, lines 0-16 are always text for ...

Re: SuperCPU for the Vic-20
Without high volume its basically a quest to find a manufacturer that deliver good enough specs for a 0.8mm pitch BGA-256 with enough layers to enable proper routing. Most EU and US based companies will charge upwards from 150USD per PCB for 10pcs, so I had to go to Asia to find one that would add ...

Re: Robo-VIC: An Android Inspired GUI
Disclaimer: Just my opinion, so please don't take this the wrong way, but... I struggle to see the merit in creating something like this, unless it's just for personal enjoyment of course and you aren't expecting anyone to actually use it? The number of Vic owners, with access to MB memory expansio...

Re: Robo-VIC: An Android Inspired GUI
Yeah, I've decided to leave the kernel alone for compatibility to various devices that use the IEC port. I do highly recommend JiffyDOS to be used with it. I'm doing all my testing with JiffyDOS and 32K expansion. Eventually the core parts will be re-written in assembler. The current wave of work is...
