Pirate's Cove, The Count, etc.
Can someone please tell me how to get these games to work with the vice emulator? I downloaded the vice emulator, and the gamebase20 file. I can't get any of the text based games to work. Those are really the only ones I'm interested in. If anyone can tell me how to get them to work that would be great. It would be like going back in time. I used to play these on my brothers vic20 when I was 7 or 8 years old. Thanks!

Later versions of the cartridge label have the SYS code printed right on it.

My guess is that they were written by guy using 16K ram expansion and simply ported over to ROM.Kweepa wrote:Why the heck didn't these autoboot?
I realise they don't attach to $A000, but why weren't they made that way?
They autostart from MegaCart menu

Maybe because you should be able to use the computer for other things without having to remove the cartridge.Kweepa wrote:Why the heck didn't these autoboot?
