Denial

I just noticed this old thread after coming across a listing for Machine language monitor is now going for over b£100 at least, but even stupider a Stonechip Vixen VIC 20 Switchable 16K Ram Expansion Cartridge is going for £170... Why are people paying that price for these things that are completely...

I wonder how much people out of that are using a 3,8,16k switchable RAM cartridge?

I don't see how that conclusion follows from the data. Well, if keeping your program as low as that is only catering for 30 people out of 218, that's just around 7%. So it in't worth trying to, compromise or cut things to, fit your program into a lower amount of space when more people have access t...

Thyanks, defenetly some things to look into there.

I have noticed that alot, if not all, of the high priced items appear to be continually re-listed though, and nobody is actually buying them. So, is it another case of people trying to sell high because they see stupid high prices on ebay, but nobody is actually buying them. Looks like the person wh...

Wasn't the VC prefix used in germany?

Whare VIC was too close to a bad word

Just something I've noticed when looking at ebay lately... Most other Commodore cartradges seem to be fairly cheep to reasonably priced, but the VIC-20 Machine Language Monitor cartridge always seems to go for what seams like silly high prices. I recently bid on one which was sitting at around 10 to...

Thanks for this, The game I was thinking about making is a sort-of RPG that uses the same basic engin that I made for Trapped, but expanded to include indoor and outdoor locations. I started this also on the Vectrex before my vectrex died. So the memory used basically turns into the size of the game...

I was thinking about seeing if I can convert my 'Trapped' game for the Vectrex to the unexpanded VIC. This is just shy of 5k on the Vectrex and I already have an idea of how I would do this on the VIC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU2LigCTyus https://drsnuggles.github.io/jsvecx/?rom=Trapped But I...

Ok, so obviously they still all come with 5K, 3.5k usable for basic. What I mean is in the current VIC community, do most people only have up to the origonal 16k expansion. Or is it common for people to have their VIC expanded to 32 or 35K? Basically, if I were looking at making a game, is there a b...

Thanks for all the info on this, not as straightforward as it looks then.
I may look at ether buying or making one after christmas.

Hello all, I just wanted to ask if anybody knows of any schematics or PCB layouts to build a multi port cartridge expansion board for the VIC? I have a few cartradged I would like to keep permanantly attached and switchable, but these boards seem to be relatively rare and can be quite expensive on e...

The naming convention also lets the VIC emulator know whether or not the image is PAL or NTSC.

Thanks for replying Mike, I was being stupid! I wrote this to test: *=$1400 CHROUT = $FFD2 SCREENCOLOUR = $900f ; Setup the screen lda #$8 sta SCREENCOLOUR LOOP lda #$93 jsr CHROUT jmp LOOP I then used the 'Generate SYS call' option which put in the BYTE line that maked the basic statment "10 S...
