Can a0 files be run on a real Vic-20?

[mrr19121970]

yes, yould be. I used @k3ys memory expander

Could you use Snapshots instead. I.e. configure vice, attach the cart and save a snapshot, then load that in your menu?

Sorry for interrupt, I've got all available Commodore - Atari - HES cartridges on Zip and on 5 1/4 Zoll Disk, with a easy loader, so I use that on a real VIC, with 16 / 32 K, the memory-dumping ( for e.g. BLK/5 or BLK/3 or BLK/1) would be done by the small loader. If you like these 5 disks, give an answer and I send it to you.

I would love to try these and see if they work for me, so if you can provide a link where I can download them, it'd be greatly appriciated.

PS: By the way, on a real VIC, it is possible to load a game form Disk into the "machine Monitor" and then you are able to reprogram the cartridge. After that save it again on Disk and run it, that's all.
I hope that was helpful.

Ok, so by doing this all cartridges should be possible to "convert" into disk-format (d64)? And if so, ARE all cartridges already converted into e.g. d64 by someone (I haven't found them)?

Look here. There are plenty of carts in the .d64 files with a handy loader

Thanks, these images actually worked pretty good for me using it with Vice20x (for xbox)! They autostarted into the menu, then I just selected the game.... and although I was preferably after a solution were the games autostarted without having to select it in a menu, this is the closest so far!

As I said, that's because these games were cracked so they don't try to self modify. You don't need the memory area used by the cart to be "read-only".

These are loaded as opposed to attached.

To use these files on a real VIC-20 you'd need a RAM expansion located in the used areas so obviously you can't make this expansion read-only.

Great collection thx!

IMHO, that's expecting a community to rebuild cartridge games because you're not using them properly.

"normal" cartridge games run in BLK5.

Hi,
here is the link, hopefully it works. I never tried that before.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j2q3y20o4v2v ... _LZka?dl=0

it's on my Dropbox, just take the 4 files with the name "Modulgames xxx" that's all.

[Ammiraglio72]

ok....
Thx anyway.

I will buy a exp memory 32k with dipswitch and block 5.

i know to relocare roms need all heavy work.

But NLBA000 already relocate some cartridege , but his link is death and he not anwer.

thx all

sorry for bad english

Hi Everyone,
maybe too late but as asked I've attached a rar file with old Cart to prg conversions a 2007 work !

[necronom]

That's excellent! I've been working my way through all the Vic-20 games I can play on my real hardware, and it's been bothering me that there are a lot of great games that are only on cart that I can't play from my SD card with only having a 16k expansion. I'll give these a go. Thanks.

[edit] I've just realised that these might still need a 32k expansion, but I'll try them anyway.

I've just tested these prg with VICE VIC+16k and all these games works.

Brilliant!

Nice avatar. I was playing Vic-20 Salmon Run a few days ago. I stuck it on YouTube.

This is an old friend of ours showing up here from time to time... Hello nbla000, how's life going on?
