Re: New Release: Mike's unexpanded type-in collection

Thanks for the bump. I'll be loading these up soon.

Any chance of getting the "source" so I can do the typing in? I quite enjoy that part LOL :D

Re: Next FCUG meeting - Sunday, November 21, 2021

Sounds like a great time. Wish there was a club around me...or that i knew enough to start one up. I would just be an attendee as I'm so new to the community. Hope to have some videos of this one as well.

Thanks Robert.

Re: Treasure-Seeker (available now!)

Many thanks for that G! 8) It's much appreciated. I really enjoyed watching it and it was great to see someone playing and enjoying my game. And hey, he's even playing it on a real Vic-20 too, so that's awesome. Watching that video gave me insights of some things I could fix or improve upon. So, af...

What a great guy. Such interesting and honest stories. What a shame that company was so mismanaged. Thank you for sharing this.

Re: Treasure-Seeker (available now!)

... The dreaded "Out of memory error" was something that happened several times during my programming of this game. Understood. I did not read the Readme... Yes, I'd love to see you make a gameplay video of it. It would be a bonus to me to see how someone else is enjoying playing my game ...

Re: Treasure-Seeker (available now!)

Pretty neat game. Seems to work pretty good on real VIC. I only played two maps so not a long test. Maybe it's just me but some clarification on the initial prompt could help. I was not understanding that it was asking for how many maps i wanted to play. I thought it was asking me which map i wanted...

Re: Treasure-Seeker (w.i.p)

Hey,

Interesting looking game. Would love to give it a go on my VIC. Not sure if it's had any test on real hardware. Do you have a d64 to share? The prg would be fine as well.

Thanks

Re: Running SD2IEC on a PC or RPi

Not sure if you have heard of this project https://cbm-pi1541.firebaseapp.com/ I've got one and it's great. Only thing missing is the network file transfer(its been suggested and might be worked on i think) but that minor to me cause i just pop out the sdcard and copy things over then pop it back in...

Re: Looking for VIC20 Mailing label generating program

The VIC-20 Listings archive has a type-in, but it's in German http://www.vic20listings.freeolamail.com/mag_compkont_de.html#8405ed Too bad i don't know German lol. Still might check it out.

Looking for VIC20 Mailing label generating program

Hello, I'm wondering if such a thing ever existed. A program to print mailing labels to a MPS-803. Just looking for something that prints on regular plain paper not looking for something that would line up with label forms. I've recently started pen-paling and i think it would be cool to have the ma...

Re: Wanted: VIC Printer

Nope. The MPS803, although fully compatible with a VIC, wants continuous paper. You should look for a MPS1000 or similar to use regular A4 sheets. According to this it can do both continuous paper and single sheet https://de.zxc.wiki/wiki/MPS_803 I for sure would want something that takes regular U...

Re: Wanted: VIC Printer

Is the MPS-803 compatible with the VIC-20? I can't find anything saying one way or the other.
