VIC 20 SD2IEC help- Possible memory error??
Posted: Wed Jun 21, 2017 5:01 am
Hi, I just bought an SD2IEC for my vic 20 that I recently bought to play "blitz" and other old games that I used to as a kid!
I also got a 16GB memory expansion card for the vic, and a ms paceman cartridge (works fine).
I download the SD card starter pack from thefuturewas8bit
When I executed the following command
LOAD”FB",8<return>
RUN
It loads the CBM file browser (the black 8k one) and I am able to navigate and select games. Unfortunately, for most of the ones I tried, it loads them (green lights flash) then it goes back to basic
I removed the memory expansion card and some of the games that didn't run before ran (e.g. alien blitz) but a lot of games didn't run
I also tried renaming some of the files so they are all in lowercase and <8 characters, but that didn't really help.
1- Any ideas how to debug?
2- How can I test my memory expansion card? Is there a SW or a HW test I can do?
3- How can I convert my favorite game from a .TAP format to a .PRG file (Blitz). I tried using tapclean-0.34-OSX but despite fixing the tape first (which ran fine on Vice) it will not produce an output file. No error messages nothing.
THANKS!
