Re: SuperCPU for the Vic-20

Looking very promising! If I understand your code right, you are copying a subroutine to $11200 (which copies the content of $10300... to the screen and color ram) and then call this subroutine at $11200. Some questions arise (at least for me): When executing the subroutine at $11200, what is the va...

Re: Work in progress: REALMS OF QUEST V

The race portraits at the bottom come from screenshots of the actual game, but hopefully a talented sketch artist will be able to draw black and white line image versions of these.
Why? I think it's looking great right now and beeing identical to the ingame pictures is not a bad thing too.

I'm following your progress but I'm more of the silent reader type ;-) I imagine that there are a lot more of this type here lurking around...

Re: SuperCPU for the Vic-20

Mmh, good point about the long filenames, we are on FAT(32), not on a CBM drive. Stupid me :oops: For me 8.3 would be enough, but on the other hand maybe the others find it more conveniant to give their files longer and more expressive names. As for the size, I don't see any reason for files to have...

Re: SuperCPU for the Vic-20

Looking great! Later I will convert all files over 1023 bytes to show as KB. Why? I really like to know the exact size (for whatever reasons, lol) and I don't think there is any reason to shorten the size onscreen. As far as I remember filenames can be 14 character max, right? Then we have 14 chars ...

Re: Mega65

Mmh, I really don't get all this "there is no software, so this machine is useless". Really, what do you want to do with such a new "oldschool" computer? Retro gaming? -> Get any 80's computer brand or console and play for the rest of your life. High end gaming?-> Get any PC or a...

Re: Mega65

Yes, but every system starts with no software, that shouldn't be an argument against any machine. You have to start somewhere :) I never used much existing software on my VIC as kid - simply too expensive for me, so I learned to programm and wrote my own games and utilities. The same goes with all f...

Just to not derail the The128RM thread anymore, I thought I switch over to a new thread to answer Orion: Once again, I must admit I'm no open source, diy guy. I'd rather buy a ready-to-run machine, be it a fpga or a remake assembled with retro components. As for 128 more hw/sw, it's more than I imag...

Re: THE128RM (The 128 Remastered)

I'd really drool if someone planned a commercial C65 remake.
Like this one?
