Re: NEW BASIC game for 16K VIC: Castle Quest
Nice, just played it. At one place it says "duengon" where it should say "dungeon" probably... At some point you get "silver coins". But "use silver" does not work. You have to "use coins". At the very last step you have to "get" the item o...

Re: How do I redefine characters with 8k or more RAM?
You are overwriting your BASIC-program with the chars you are reading. Essentially you are cutting down the tree you are sitting on. You need to protect your BASIC-memory from the character-definitions you are writing to memory. As mentioned earlier in this thread you need to increase the BASIC-star...

Re: Documenting the unreleased/cancelled/prototype video game "Ice Palace"
Here is a snap shot for Vice vic20 ... which apparently was made in a decades old VICE - and doesn't work in a recent one. Making a .crt out of it would make a lot more sense :) Hmm, in the original post there is a link to a .bin-file that you can just attach as a generic image in WinVICE 3.2 and i...

Re: freezer software vic20
The closest possible is probably Mike's MINIMON-cartridge. It "hides" in the rarely used $9800-$9fff-area, has a reset-switch that can circumvent cartridge-reset-protection and even for cartridges that use $9800-$9fff it can be deactivated with an on-board-switch.

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
Jitter seems better now. On the hiscore table I could finally enter my initials. I still have to be super careful, but at least I am able to get each letter stable now.Ingame jitter seems a little better as well. On first start at the game I got the same error as last time again, the flickering rast...

Re: WTB: Cardco Cardboard 6
As I remember Jim made 100 of these, but noticed the dip-switches were to close to the cartridge slots, so you could not plug in a standard cartrdige fully. You can still buy this for $22 a piece and I got one some years ago: https://store.go4retro.com/non-functional-goodies/ See the notes at the bo...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
I think the hiscore music is a tad too quiet. Checked your hardware yet? Yes, it is quieter than the rest now that plays at volume 8, but at least there are not distortions anymore. Alternatively the whole game needs to be at volume 4 or 5, but as beamrider pointed out by PM some other effects depe...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
Tried the latest version. The high-score music sounds much better now. I think the standard "Game Over"-music would also sound better with volume 4. Sadly entering a high-score with the paddle is still impossible. It still flickers between two letters mostly, although on some positions it ...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
I took a quick look and I only ever set the volume to 8 so unless it maybe getting set higher - but not intentionally at least. Btw, it sounded fine on my 1702 monitor will check again tomorrow on real hardware. edit: Checked in VICE monitor and volume only gets set to 8. You're right. Wonder where...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone
- paddle-jitter is worse on PAL than on NTSC, but not really nice in either case. You can see the Vaus flickering in the videos. Would really appreciate the dejittering-technique reactivated - entering the high-score is impossible with paddles right now. The paddle-area from A to Z seems very small...
