How do you hook up your VIC to your LCD TV?

Are you using RF modulator on the VIC and into the TV antenna port of the TV?

I want to get into the retro computer repairing hobby too, both a collector and repairer :) get it? So I need some partially working Vic 20s or C64s so I can grab some of the chips off eBay and repair them so I can add them into the collection, must include PSU, rf modulator and all that etc I've g...

I wish I could play with my VIC more, but like I said last time, the 22-column screen makes it frustrating to use... I mean it barely has enough spaces to list a disk directory, or list a program or even display a menu as part of a programming... stuff gets scrolled off, etc... arg... It's good for ...

Oh, I see... I'm not much of a hardware guy to fix ICs , etc... Maybe I'll just sell it for parts.... Also, I see lots of people hook up their VICs or C64s to LCD TVs with a nice sharp display... how can I do that too? I have the regular RF TV cable which is so fuzzy when hooked up to a regular TV, ...

Does that happen with every disk? A corrupt disk can do that. If you have a blank disk try formatting, saving something, then read that disk. I used the same C1541 and same floppy disk and can access it easily on a C64 just fine. Also, I thikn I used other floppy disks too, same problem. I am think...

Usually the pdf reader (such as acrobat) will have "built-in" OCR which will let you select and copy text. Most of the time this copied text will be in upper-case, you can paste it into a third party text editor (not notepad) and convert the text to lower-case then go through and fix any ...

On this VIC-20, it seems to work fine, except when I try to access the disk drive (eg 1541), such as LOAD"$",8 , and it just locks up.. I can hit RUN/STOP/RESTORE to get back to command line... what gives? This same disk drive and serial cable when connected to another VIC or C64 works fin...

The VICE emulator package contains the petcat utility, which converts between (quoted) ASCII and *.prg files. Control characters and graphic symbols are quoted in ASCII like thus: {DOWN}, etc. The keywords of CBM BASIC are (de-)tokenized as well. Alternatively, you can use specialized editors on th...

Wow.. I just checked my C64 box and it's the same as the original poster's..serial Num on box is like P239****. That's so funny.. I never realized that those pics were from VIC-20. haha. Also all my C64s have the "64" next to "Commodore." Near the power LED light is the word &quo...

I myself did not have any storage on my VIC 20 for a few years. It kind of sucked not bring able to save any of my work. I probably would have been able to progress earlier on if I did. Woah... really? You typed in long programs that could take up to hours and did have/buy a tape or disk drive to s...

I think the VIC-20 was my first computer.. it was great and exciting to use for the first time. Then later I got Commodore 64 and it was even better... I just keep the VIC-20 (sold the originals, re-bought them later) around for fun... But I prefer to use C64 more often.. mainly because you can't do...

I've got XM cable to transfer files between C1541 disk drive and PC. However, is there an easy program on the PC that would convert a text file (eg PRG listing) in ASCII to a text file that is PETASCII that I can copy back into the C1541.... and vice versa? Basically, say I see a PRG BASIC list, cop...
