Re: Happy Easter Greetings from Revision 2023!

Wow Mike and Tokra, looks like you had lots of fun there (also, how could you resist in that loooong toilet corridor before getting to the wc? :mrgreen: ). Will try to attend some time in the future, maybe getting older and retired from work 8)

Re: New Game: VICSTRIP

Very interesting Mike and Tokra, you're really pushing the limits of our beloved machine to new frontiers :D . The possibility to reserve the lower area of the screen for the good ol' blocky text is a great feature (well, *new and hot* is apt for the game being :mrgreen: ), and surely opens the door...

Spotted a strange monitor (?)

Hi there, a couple of days ago I was in the small town where I was born. Nothing changed in 50 or so years, and I'm always happy to find all those places still intact: sweet memories come to mind, and all that melancholy stuff we all know well flows like a river. https://i.ibb.co/pZ97LyQ/IMG-2023032...

Re: Added approx. 1000 Vic-20 Games To Play Online

You can only play single file games. Much better to look for single games, download them, maybe also have a look at the instructions, and get them to work in VICE or online emulators. I tried this myself and must say it doesn't give a good impression of the VIC-20 world IMHO. But as I always say, de...

Re: Targ

Nice improvement over a good original idea (which I did meet back then in one of the infamous Italian pirated cassettes). Thanks for this, will play it on a real VIC tonight :)

Inufuto Is creating new games at a relatively high pace, he uses a cross compiler and his games are released for 35+ platforms at once :shock:

Re: Video noise on VIC-20

I purchased two of them a couple of years ago, one for the 128, and used the C64's also on my VIC-20s. I wasn't aware of this ripple, nor did I notice the video noise (not more than with other PSUs). Now I doubt about those products quality, and unfortunately the Polish one is my only PSU for the 12...

Re: Bible Series I and II reviewed - and possible problem

Thanks Mike, as always :) . This further adaptation of Mike's transfer program comes from a request made by an Italian forum member. Thanks to him, I became aware of the existence of this modern version of the 1581 disk drive, made available as a kit by Francesco Pontecorvo. Googled it, but didn't c...

Re: Vic 20 Noob: trying to load Bewitched

You really found the words to describe what also is my thought about S-Video (I'm using CRT emulation in VICE, too).

Wow, congratulations for having won the shadow Minister's heart :D
You really should propose yourself as his Counselor for Digital Retro Affairs.
