OK, never knew an outlet like Lechmere (back at the time) slapped stickers over the VIC 20 box and dubbed it the VIC 21, basically coupled with a 16K RAM expander. But to see it in VICE is another thing. Anything else "different" i.e., ROM version, internal timings, ... ? Or does either produce the exact same machine:
$ xvic -memory 16k
$ xvic -model vic21
VICE VIC21 arrives

On a serious note, why not? I mean, from the MESS project, we worked on getting some nice hires photos of Commodore monitors and I carved them up with bezel definitions to overlay the emulator's display nicely. I'd love to do/see the same occur with VICE.
Perhaps I should take that up on SourceForge as a new feature request. I cannot be the only one pining for this eye-candy.

Or something like this? http://www.micro64.de/ It's totally useless but fun ad very nostalgic to look at
Heh. That was entertaining to watch, but two things occurred to me; first, it was jolly clever; and second, when would you ever want to switch your emulated display to 'a bit broken'?Schlowski wrote:Or something like this? http://www.micro64.de/ It's totally useless but fun ad very nostalgic to look at
It did bring my memories flooding back of inventing ever more elaborate tricks and quasi-religious incantations to try to get a stable picture on a colour portable telly using an increasingly b0rked modulator back in '83, though.
I love these monitor emulation settings in the lastest batch of emulators.
That's what was missing for so long from emulators - the feeling of a 1980s monitor. The screen was too crisp and sharp to evoke a true nostalgic feeling.
The floppy drive noises really help too.
