Re: How many commercial games were made for the Vic-20?

Have you checked the list on the Denial Wiki? It's incomplete, but might have more titles. Also, you seem like the perfect person to update the WIKI page with your new list. That might be a more appropriate and permanent place for your list than a forum thread. List of games on cassette: http://sle...

Re: 6561 Die Shot Reversing Explorations

I have been trying to find a wafer of 6560 or 6561 chips. Haven't had much luck with that yet, but I managed to buy a 6569 wafer: 6569R5-1986-wafer.jpg 6569R5-1986-wafer1.jpg The 6560/6561 would have been produced on the same type of wafers. The VIC-II is fairly large at about 5.8mm (almost square) ...

Re: SuperCPU for the Vic-20

The SPI interface has shown to be a troublesome beast, but it is now fully debugged and rewritten. The main problem has been to get the timing contrains of the SPI signals to be within requirement, so the interface code had to be rewritten to get it to work at 25MHz. Still, when one wants to read a ...

Re: Who owns the IP for the CBM machine ROMs PET/VIC/64?

Microsoft holds the right to Commodore Basic. They sold a perpetual license to them, but I doubt they sold the right to license these out.

Re: SuperCPU for the Vic-20

Well, after some work to translate FAT32 to 6502 and the SuperVixen interface, it is now more than 90% ready. There are a few bugs and the actual LOAD implementation needs some more work. The total size of the code is currently around 5K, so it will fit nicely inside a 8KiB block. In order to free u...

Re: It's working! Full motion video on a VIC-20 (+3K)

Dude, congrats! You really rocked it with that project. A nice achievement, and being the first you have new VIC-20 street cred! It's cool to see that 1 bit video is actually quite watchable. The beach girls in the Miami Vice intro still look good, even though they are made of perhaps a thousand si...

Re: Ray Carlsen releases new power supplies and adapters

Well, I did make my own 5V psu for the CR model (no 9V ac since I don’t need it), and if you have an old portable PC, PS3 psu or alike (with 5V) you can do the same.

Re: Arcade Game Designer

It would be a good moment to show that game playability has nothing to do with what graphics resolution it uses.

Re: Arcade Game Designer

Would be interesting if you could say more about how the graphics is implemented in your software. Is the 6502 version made for atari, apple or c64? How is raster timing implemented? Double buffering?

Re: How many commercial games were made for the Vic-20?

Not really. The commercial games that were written in 1981-1985 are not becoming more abundant. Very few new ones seems to be found, so that's why I were surprised to see that there wasn't a single list to show them all. I have now added elements from a third list to get a more complete list, but st...

How many commercial games were made for the Vic-20?

I though most games were on some kind of list and that they were also available as download. It may be that they are, but after making one list (from two I downloaded on the net: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Commodore_VIC-20_games and http://www.digitpress.com/video-game-guide/ ), there see...

Re: Bitshifter's Z-code interpreter

Bitshifter: If you want to save memory on the font, I have code that takes the internal char ROM to make 6-bit wide characters that are readable. I can send you the code if you want to test it out.
