Hello Scott, it's awesome that you found our little corner of the web. Welcome! It's not often we get to speak with someone as famous and important as you. I remember playing your games on the VIC20 a lot, they inspired my friends and I to create our own adventures, (though they we only knew BASIC b...

Don't ya just hate that? You pound your head against a wall forever trying to figure something out, then when you finally give up and ask somebody else, the answer instantly pops into your head before they can even answer your question.

Good work btw.

Very interesting and useful! Hope some perfectionist here will come up with a "perfect" palette for the VIC :P I'd suggest using the mike.vpl from this thread: Help improving the VIC20 palette in vice! I really like this palette a lot better than the default.vpl Mike also has an NTSC AVI ...

Thanks. That was my idea, to make editing as simple as possible.

I added a link to the source code in the first post.

Here's a program that I put together to edit VICE Palette Files (vpl). http://s6.postimg.org/5ha1d9m59/Palette_Editor.jpg PaletteEditor .11.zip This is a Windows program, (sorry to everyone else). It requires the Visual Basic 6 runtime dll. Press 'F1' for a list of keys used. You'll notice a small b...

Who is your favorite game programmer... Jeff Daniels of course! :D ( What did I win? ) Seriously, I like Jeff Minter a lot, I read his unfinished book that's been floating around, and his story is similar to mine, in that we both learned to program on a PET in high school. I also like all the Activ...

Yeah, here's one.

There is a label maker at AtariAge to design custom labels.

And if you contact Albert, I believe you can get professional quality die-cut labels that aren't very expensive.

If you don't want the daughter card that connects to the cassette port I would suggest getting one of the uIEC Edge Connectors to solder your wires to it. It will make life so much better later on if something goes wrong with the uIEC and you need to remove it. For the pin-out try the µIEC Wiki . Ji...

Here in the US we used to be able to go "shopping" at the landfills. We used to go once a week and pick up deposit bottles, aluminum cans, and anything that looked like it might be useable. And then people started picking up papers with personal info and stealing other people's identity, s...

I voted C64.
There isn't really a large fan base for Plus4/C16 only because it came at the end of Commodore's life span. The C64 was a lot more popular.
The C64 seems to have a more 'fragile' chip set than the VIC20 so I'm guessing there are going to be fewer and fewer C64s as time rolls on.

I have a HesWare 5 slot port expander with:
2-3k
3-8k
3-16k + 1-16k with a bad RAM (it only adds 12k)
1-MegaCart
and a self made 35k that I made by adding a 32k RAM to a Super Expander cart.

That editor does look interesting. I've been using ConTEXT since it was in early beta so I'm kinda partial to it. After trolling through the Sublime forums for a bit, I found a post where someone created a theme editor. You can check it out here -> Sublime Theme Editor I played around with it a bit,...

Here's a routine that I use to save a block of memory: s=828:e=900:sh%=s/256:sl=s-sh%*256:eh%=e/256:el=e-eh%*256 sys57809("filename"),8,1:poke193,sl:poke194,sh% poke780,193:poke781,el:poke782,eh%:sys65496 Type these lines one at a time pressing enter after each. Change the ' s ' and ' e ' ...

Very nice! This makes the Atarisoft version look like a kindergartener made it. Awesome! I noticed that it looks like you saved both versions from the beginning of the BASIC RAM areas ($0400 for 3k and $1200 for 8k). If you save starting at $0401 for 3k and $1201 for 8k then you won't need the ,1 at...
