Despite this, everything I have loaded from my SD2IEC so far, works just fine.

For my personal requirements, it seems like a (near; given your comments) perfect solution.

I'd much rather use the PUII+ than manually re-configure RAM pack dip-settings on a per-game basis.

Each to their own, I guess.

Did this issue get resolved? I am considering ordering this. I can confirm the file-browser issue appears to be resolved. Certainly on mine, with folders listed A-Z, moving from O at the bottom of page one to the next, P is the next folder listed. According to 8-bit Show and Tell's video, there has...

Hi Andy

I’m looking forward to trying Emu’s Massive Hunt but I don’t have a cassette unit.

Any news on when the download will be available?

Something pretty cool I discovered about the new future was 8-bit PUII+ cart, is that - while it’s known it will auto-configure RAM for its INTERNALLY held games - it also auto-configures for any games loaded from an SD2IEC. For example, booting the cart and pressing F8 to load “*” boots up the 8k+ ...

Having received my PAL JiffyDOS ROM from retrorewind and finding I needed to fit a turned-pin socket, I went the whole 9 yards and re-capped my Vic-20, while I had the soldering iron out. Video quality improved slightly and JiffyDOS works a treat. When paired with an SD2IEC, it loads games blazingly...

Anyway, those are only limitations if you go by the respective data sheets (and you missed out on the multi-colour capability of VIC-I, BTW) - both computers have demonstrated their video chips are much more flexible than that: see Ultraviolet on ZX Spectrum, FLInale on VIC-20. I own a Bytedelight ...

Thank you.

I'll check and upload a photo.

My C64 was bought from the same seller as my recent Vic-20 purchase. However, the 64 came fitted with a switch-less kernal switcher which starts the C64 in JiffyDOS, but changes to the standard kernal if powered on with the Restore key held down. I purchased the Vic-20 JiffyDOS kernal overlay images...

I've owned a MiSTer FPGA since a little before COVID hit and the ensuing chip famine. There's a stable Vic-20 core for this.

Wouldn't this rely on an FPGA implementation of the VIC chip?

I don't know enough about the MiSTer's many cores; I just enjoy them.

The ZX Spectrum has a display resolution of 256 x 192 pixels. or 24 character rows, by 32 columns, with only a single background and foreground colour per 8x8 character square. As with the Vic-20, if you moved a character smoothly to an adjacent grid, there was noticeable colour clash. It's what the...

I don't remember owning Pixel Productions Harvester when I still owned my original Vic-20 back in 1982/83 but I must've played it, as I re-wrote it entirely from memory for the ZX Spectrum. I sent my Speccy conversion in to Sinclair User magazine, who published it in their December 1986 type-in sect...

The Vic-20 was my second computer back in the day. I started my voyage into computing with a 1K ZX81 (for which I promptly bought a 64K Memotech RAM expansion; which absolutely NOTHING took advantage of), before deciding I needed a colour computer to plug-into into my (even then) ancient Black and W...

Updated FE3 firmware. Now displays v1.8p RENumbered the Utilities menu of the Software Collection and successfully added the wAx2 toolkit (running it from a .prg file I added to a .d64 image), as the first menu option in the Utilities menu. I've yet to work out how to load the CRT image of wAx2, whi...

@srowe The REN function works great. Thank you for adding it. “REN start, step” renumbers just as I’d expect. It doesn’t matter to me that it doesn’t handle GOTO/GOSUBs, just creating space to insert more entries into the LOADER files is enough. Incidentally, the firmware revision, shown top-right, ...

A nice RENUM command may come in useful, though I guess there’d already be a separate program/routine for this already, which I can add into the program loader, assuming I can ever create a working one… :roll: I've released a new version, 1.8, which has a REN command in the wedge. This can be used ...
