What, you want me to take time out of my busy schedule to play a brand-new VIC-20 game?! Ugh, fine, I guess!

But seriously, yes, it would be my pleasure to assist.

with a lot of help from chysn (many thanks for that) i decide to release a separate NTSC version of my game.
it will not fit 100% perfectily but i hope it will be playable.

i decide to use this dimensions.

Code: Select all

10 REM X COORDINATE FOR RIGHT HAND LEFT CORNER
15 REM DECREASE = LEFT / INCREASE = RIGHT
20 POKE 36864,2
30 REM Y COORDINATE FOR RIGHT HAND LEFT CORNER
35 REM DECREASE = DOWM / INCREASE = UP
40 POKE 36865,16
50 REM NO OF COLUMNS 24
60 POKE 36866,24
70 REM NO OF ROWS 27 (27 X 2)
80 POKE 36867,54
the next days i will try to finish the code and fix some issues.

if someone here is interested in some beta testing (pal or ntsc), please send me a PM.

thx

hi everyone,

nice to see, that the forum is back!
i'm still looking for voluntary ntsc-testers for my project.
the code itself is nearly complete tested by pal users and hopefully free of bugs.

the only things to test are the screen dimensions and the general base functions.

please pm me if you are interested.
