Denial

Space Invaders plays amazing! Thank you for your hard work.

It's something I've been working on. Explosions and line drawings routines are mostly there and near fast enough to handle the action for 20 active ICBMs at 60fps. I haven't been able to make the time to work on it. I need to accelerate my time schedule for retirement .

Playing atari missile command, and some side by side screen shots with unreleased vic version, just thought I'd share because it was a good time with a friend today and that trash pic TV is sure putting a nice picture out for the vic

Hello. I too am curious if the pi1541 works with the vic20. I ordered a PCB kit from ebay and built my own. I can certainly post all the gory details, but will be brief here, curious if anyone has any suggestions for troubleshooting. I understand I should probably reach out on lemon64 as that is whe...

Wow. I hopped on denial to scratch a little social itch on this cold winter evening and this was what I found first :( To say the 6502 was a huge part of my life would be an understatement. I regard these larger than life heroes of the personal computer revolution that I was so amazingly lucky to ha...

I pretty much agree with everyone's points; although It does make me think. Someone here, or somewhere, made a wise point that anyone that even programs these old machines is doing so out of nostalgia or 'sport'. The sport comment I really loved. As a 'sport' I could see it being fascinating to abus...

Goodness, that's impressive. That racing the beam style programming can do so much, if you can do it. When multiple sprites are on the same horizontal line ( I think 2600 only has 2 right? ), there is of course some flicker, but the nature of the game seems to make that not so common, so it really l...

I've been reworking the speeds to be as accurate to the arcade as possible now that I have the capability to run a full 60fps ( ntsc ). One thing I've been having questions about is the "Cruise Elroy" feature of blinky. Using the awesome Pacman Dossier as reference once again: https://www....

Thanks guys. I'm actually working on the code a bit now, so maybe I'll get a new version out and include pause and intermissions which I wanted. Apparently Jeff ( the music guy ) saw the cover and ordered a cassette drive off ebay because he wants a cassette now, lol. Nice job.

I think the vic + 3k jmp instruction to the main loop was at $40e 82 040b endif 83 040b 00 00 00 HEX 00 00 00 84 040e 4c c7 0c jmp main 85 0411 - else ;not basic startup 86 0411 - jmp main .... I can't remember what I put up on google drive, I'm assuming it was the version that was supposed to load ...

Does anyone remember the game "speedway" for the Odyssey 2? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA0ySQhzUeg My friend and I during a bout of nostalgia in the mid 90s played the heck out of this game. There was in theory a 'perfect' game. The perfect game was where you held full throttle immedi...

heh maybe so. I am still thankful for all the help you gave me on that one.

I feel like a kid again destroying 8 bit tanks over the christmas holidays ; too bad this cool game didn't come with my VIC which I got for Christmas in 1982, lol. Nope, it was tank vs UFO after typing it in;ha. I saved a snapshot of the game; which ( I assume ) is just a memory dump and restores th...

I got addicted playing your game tonight :) One odd thing happened; I don't know if VICE got mad at me, or something, but I'd been playing the game _quite_ a while and it seems like it ended up in a loop? The screen stopped mid game The monitor says it's looping in 25f8,25fb something like: .loop LD...

Ok, this got me going; on VICE under linux with my core two duo at 2.6GHZ which claims full frame rate I got to level 4 with 18xxx darnit the screen flashed over before I could read it, is there no way to see the running high score? boy was level 3 hard, then it went back to the bricks on 4 and I go...
