Denial

This association of the VIC with 22 columns makes me recall a few months ago I read someone had published here a patch for the kernal to work with an arbitrary number of columns (up to 25-26, as usual for PAL/NTSC). I can't find the thread now. (OK I found it, it's here https://sleepingelephant.com/...

I remember there was activity in another thread on this topic here in Denial a few months ago, somebody else was working on this topic, he had a blog

For storage I prefer USB pendrives like in the 1541Ultimate2. I don't know if this brings technical issues.

The user manual I think it was a good translation. I think the BASIC course was a good translation too. I didn't keep it, I recall it was photocopies bounded without a proper cover. (I don't know why are the pictures upside down, I've rotated and uploaded again)

I keep mine. I just checked a couple of sites which may have had pdfs, but they haven't. I don't own a scanner anymore.

I like party discussion and releases in the general section or in the announcements. But there are lots of nice drawings, such as those with the grayscale dithering experiments of a guy that almost lost them, I think you did some rescue work there. Those old BASIC listings with interesting graphics,...

I was doing some search on the web for samples of nice VIC20 PETSCII art, and shortly after returning to Denial. Then I realized always I've seen some nice graphics here, it was in the programming subforum, secondary to what was being discussed in its thread. As the name of the thread doesn't hint a...

Some friends here liked the game

Good idea have the alternate rows of aliens moving in opposite directions.
But I don't know what you mean about the VIC1001, apparently it's 3583 bytes free too.
(TBH I had never tried VIC1001 settings on VICE until today)

i have the FE3 as an .prg file from the BADAPPLE demo with rev020. to play on VICE emulator, first add fe3badas7.5.prg as a Final Expansion cartridge. Then attach badrom7.5.d64 as a 1541 disk image. If the Bad Apple demo indeed also worked with the original Rev. 020, then just by pure luck (most pr...

There seems to be more functionalities in the repository tools other than just list programs to pdf. For the record VICE can print listings to bmp if you configure the printer, and can copy and paste text to and from the editor (as long as there are no control characters). But your approach looks mo...

Some issues of this magazine are on archive.org. They look pretty good. I have extracted the listing of Zena. I'd like to know what program they used to enter the hex data.

I played the trainer and after7 or 8 levels it kicked me out to BASIC with a READY prompt, without rebooting. Today I watched a gameplay on YT and the game has several more levels. I wonder what happened.

I own 3 VIC20s with serial numbers around 10k, PAL, PET style keyboard, in none of them the case serial number matches the board serial number. I don't know if they have been repared or something, they come from eBay, but I 'm suspicious if it's like that for all VICs.

I guess your emulator should take care of the via registers (the keyboard matrix) and let the kernal interrupt do the updates of these registers you are talking about. I guess otherwise you are rewriting the rom or designing your own system. In this case, I guess you should compute the correct ascii...
