FE3 Software Collection

Post by ops »

During the past two years I have been slowly populating my FE3 SD card with VIC-20 software and I think it is time to share my work. My work is based on cart collection found at http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/ ... ection.zip.

The collection contains games, demos and utilities which have been floating here at Denial and all over the net. It also features over 70 games which I converted from tape to disk images. I tried to keep them as close to original as possible. Intros and loading screens are retained.

Download collection from https://ops.github.io/FE3-Software-Collection/

Have fun!

Did you put the magnificent Frogger 2007 in there ?

I fail to find it in your ZIP file and it was one truly beautiful game.

It seems that I missed Frogger 2007. I'll add it to the next version.

I see you've included the Scott Adams adventures, you might want to consider including my wedge that allows saving game state to device 8

This is great, thanks so much for doing this.

I've finally gotten around to reading the info on how to create the LOADER files. I have your collection sitting in a subdir on my sd card so I made a LOADER to be able to 'enter' that directory. Is it possible you could provide your .bas loader listings so that I could add the equiv of a cd ..? Or is it possible to go from the petcat'ed basic program back to text? I've been able to go the other way around to generate LOADER files.

petcat loader > loader.bas will do the trick.
