The cartridge dump of SE on zimmers is uncompressed. Nothing for 7zip to work with.
In VICE, enable a +3K RAM expansion (Settings > VIC20 settings ...: 3K (block 0) and press OK), then attach the *.prg file as cartridge (File > Attach cartridge image ... > Generic image: select "Super Expander.prg" in the file requester and press OK).
The emulated VIC-20 auto-resets and starts up with 6519 BYTES FREE. Super Expander is active.

thanks this is some powerful software and i'm glad to be using it. it's sad that commodore never produced it in mass numbersMike wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 1:38 pm The cartridge dump of SE on zimmers is uncompressed. Nothing for 7zip to work with.

Or if you prefer using the command line
In this case you create a ROM image by stripping the first two bytes off a PRG file.
Code: Select all
xvic -memory 3k -cartA VIC-1211A-SuperExpander.A0
