Re: 6560 FPGA Progress.

It might be helpful for debugging, if ? could prepare debug versions of the tiger picture - the original one, and four others that only contain $00, $55, $AA, $FF in the bitmap. The $00, $55 and $FF pictures should show the distribution of background, border and auxiliary colours is right, the $AA ...

Re: 6560 FPGA Progress.

I believe the $9000 and $9001 set to zero-effects are not emulated as well. so where is the bug report with testcases? :) didn't you add it here? https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/code/HEAD/tree/testprogs/VIC20/vic_9000test/ That's not the one, this is the one talked about in the other thread (Ras...

Re: 6560 FPGA Progress.

Meanwhile, what am I supposed to see with this test because I am not† seeing it on VICE (3.6.1)? I guess I'll have to get down-n-dirty with some real hardware. And then try to reproduce the intended weird behavior. It's a lot easier to do this if you can screenshot VICE and send the image to the pr...

Re: GoFundMe for new C128D/DCR keyboards

While a very good idea in general, this is not even a Kickstarter. RIght now it looks like some guy had an idea and is asking for money. I'd expect a little more research to be done before I offer to pitch in. Like: - is it feasible to create such a keyboard today for a resonable price? I'd suspect ...

Re: 6560 FPGA Progress.

There is a bare-bones test-program by mathop in the original post:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10125&start=15#p114218

Just about 30 bytes. I tried this once and believe I got a rolling picture.

I could not remember, so I checked the thread with the answer: http://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10125&start=15#p114048 Essentially try my NTSC-demos to confirm correct behaviour: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=61101 https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?whic...

Re: 6560 FPGA Progress.

It also has to be noted that it is of importance which field is displayed when switching from non-interlace to interlace-mode. My first programs that made use of NTSC-interlace from ca. 2012 depend on that behaviour, because back then I falsely assumed that line 262 is only available in one of the t...

Re: VIC Crash game

Just realised this that the 1981 VIC game "Car Chase" by Andy Finkel himself is obviously the same game-principle.

Re: Super Monza Grand Prix

I have always loved racing games and there are so few that are in 3D on the VIC-20. This is certainly a very nice example! You should not let yourself limit by the +16K expansion-limit. Nowadays most serious users will have +32K or +35K. Of course I understand the "historical" challenge of...
