It's not either one of those two. A mystery game.

There's an old VIC 20 game I vaguely remember from 1985-1986, but which I never found later online in any games collections. I don't know if it was a commercial game or a type-in listing in a magazine or a book. I copied it from friend. Here's everything I can remember - Do you recognize the game an...

Great game! ^_^

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe 29 will be enough... Have you measured the pixel ratio? VICE suggests 0,833 (as in my emulator screenshot), but when comparing to real life VIC video captures (and how I remember it) something like 0,750 would be closer?

Quick question - On NTSC unexpanded VIC 20 do you get all 30 lines visible on your screen with these pokes: poke36865,8 poke36867,188 If not all lines are visible, then how many? (You can count the 7 lines of garbage). Can you make more lines visible on your monitor by making 36865 smaller than 8? J...

Not strictly VIC, but maybe you find this interesting :-) Victorian Era emulates VIC 20 sound chip on a Commodore 64. Standalone player plays any Fisichella songs straight out of the box and it's easy to adapt it to any other VIC music routine. The demo music box has 35 VIC tunes by 4-mat, Britelite...

Thanks for all the photos. How bad is the flicker? Would that be usable in a 'board game' or such? I'm most interested in the colors combining green with some other color. But light blue would be also nice. And then another thing to try out: What about if you stop switching between the fields every ...

Have any of you played around with interlaced colors? Here's a quick test code which alternates between two duplicate screens and two color RAM's every raster line. The fields are then swapped once every frame. I'm curious about what this looks on different video systems, PAL, NTSC, old color tv's, ...

Here's a little game I just finished for the compo: http://www.cncd.fi/aeeben/download/omari.zip http://www.cncd.fi/aeeben/download/omari-screenshot.jpg Enjoy!

I wrote a little piece of code which emulates the C-64 SID sound chip on VIC 20. Patched versions of the actual original C-64 music routines are used, only the SID part is emulated by software. (For patching you need to change SID writes $d400-$d418 to somewhere else, like $03e0-$03f8, and check tha...

Looks great in VICE, but it seems to be PAL only, right? I haven't tried it yet on my real NTSC VIC, but it only seems to work with PAL emulation in VICE. Great job though, I'm real impressed. Yes, it's PAL only. Here's a quick NTSC fix - this should work, at least it works in VICE. There's little ...

Here's my VIC 20 (unexpanded) entry 'Gymnopedies' to Minigame Competition 2006: http://www.cncd.fi/aeeben/download/gymnopedies.zip Shoot the pedies until they reach you. Keep the screen clean of rocks or the pedies will get you faster. Watch out for drops that appear when you crush rocks. Difficulty...

#vic-20 exists on ircnet, welcome

I was a bit pissed when reading Boray's open letter for the first time, but I can see your point there. :) For myself, I'm not particularly interested in the retro value of VIC 20. I prefer cross-compiling and like to consider VIC as an 'embedded' platform, although it's not. VIC is a challenge, reg...
