Re: What sort of autostart is this?

The IRQ vectors are touched, but only after the entire code 02A1 - 02FF is autostarted. See tap layout screenshot and extracted code below (Vice). BR $029f/$02a0 is the temporary storage for the IRQ vector during tape loading. It gets swapped back when loading ends, unless $02a0 is $00. If it conta...

Re: Working version of Alien Demon?

Emailed you a copy of the TAP that works in Vice and extracted prg files. It would need work to move it to D64 as it is 4 files on tape. I will review your notes above and look for the flame thrower. Did it work tap to d64? Do you need further support? PM send BTW, I like the font used in Alien Dem...

Re: Non-destructive s-video cable

I'm also thinking about probably messing up my oldie. 😅
To start smelling something burned, I'm missing the value of the condensator and resistor that really counts. Perhaps schematix.

Re: Trolley Problem for Unexpanded VIC

Admit it! What is your real mission agent, Anzu? :D It's so amazing that you knock it out one game at a time, but how do you do it? I was told that I ask too many questions, but ... "If you don't ask, stay stupid", Germans say. I have to. I wish that you show a dossier with all the strateg...

What sort of autostart is this?

This version above is the hacked version with extra life for every note.[...] Are there any tape / tap to prg experts that can extract the unhacked prg from the tap file? This version is extracted from a tape with real VIC. perils-of-willy.zip I just loaded this and it seems correct with no extra l...

Re: Trying to copy PRG from TAP to D64.

This version above is the hacked version with extra life for every note. Extracting from the TAP is needed to get the pure game archived in Gamebase and elsewhere. You can use the Gamebase tap with Vice but it is difficult, short of remastering a tape to play the correct version on a real Vic20. Th...

Re: Unpublished Italian game: SATURN CAVES arcade adventure

Thank you very much for this Vicist, it will be useful in our SD2IEC collection :D Modified the release thread accordingly. Hi Orion, I think it's a very interessant game, even though in basic language. Did you noticed the pixel errors in the background grafics, as well as in the left and right ten...

Re: Trying to copy PRG from TAP to D64.

I've opened the TAP file in DirMaster, which shows the PRG file. I then create a blank D64 and drag the PRG to the D64. It looks like this should work, but says the disk is full, when it's clearly much smaller than the disk. I see what you mean about the block size. 78 or 79 is about the limit for ...

Re: Marking bad sectors on real floppy

Today is a lucky day, I guess. 🤣 My experience tells me, in opposite as common, that marking any defective sector in BAM, is stable for at least more 10 years. & Yes, again, the versed coder of us could design such a program while you’re reading this, but where is the didactic scope left, especi...
