Good work on getting a few more programs working and great to hear that things are close for the next release! I do think that we should ensure that the next release works with the 2.1 version of VICE, if possible. Can't wait! Macguyver Vice has hiccups with a few programs; NBLA and I got around a c...

Re: Gamebase20 version 2!

Hey Mayhem, What's the release status of the great Gamebase V2? I get the feeling from your recent postings that you're getting pretty close... Macguyver Firstly I should say that phase one is now complete. Phase two is now in operation, whereby I get people to assist and fix things I can't get work...

Is the sound emulation more precise?

I used to think that VICE was extremely accurate with sound but recently I've realized that on some games at least, the sound emulation falls really short.

Ideas

The idea of a standardized site name like vic20.com is appealing and it doesn't have to take away from Denial. I have a feeling that the current owner could be persuaded to give it up based on how vic20.com gets redirected to another site anyway which has nothing in common with our favorite machine....

Arma, There are a few bright lights out there in the world which are holding the flame of the Vic20 high and proud. Denial is one such place, as was your excellent site. It is such a true pleasure to be able to revisit software that a person literally hasn't played in over 20 years. Or better yet, t...

VICE

I would certainly like to help, although I'm not a programmer. I did send the VICE team an email months ago giving some details as to the vic sound emulation issues. Was never returned. Has anyone else experienced the sound bug that I'm talking about? It's most noticable in games which use the noise...

It's great to see continued work being done to VICE! I've only got one major problem with the vic20 emulation, and I wish it would be addressed. The sound emulation is still just approximate. Has anyone noticed how different VICE sounds to a regular vic20, in certain situations? I think that it's th...

Ghislain: Sorry for the delayed response, I've been on holidays. Of course, I've been goin' nuts on the GP2X whenever I get a spare chance. Just this weekend a new Amiga emulator was released which can run a lot of stuff at full speed which is just nuts. It's still alpha too. Regarding the TV displa...

GP2X - incredible fun

Folks, I just got one of these units - it's a blast to play around with! What a treat to have the entire vic20 software archive on this little device, free to carry with you anywhere! I brought my GP2X to work the other day and had the entire crew marvelling at the thing. The GP2X has S-video and st...

German vic20 game archives discovered

Once and a while I try and locate new vic software archives in foreign countries. I wanted to pass on a few sites I came across recently in Germany. Sigh. The continual quest to have the "ultimate vic20 ROM archive" Check them out! There are some cool and strange games that I've never seen...

GP32x

Wow - having 3000 C64 games and 600 vic20 games in the palm of your hand is too good to be true! What an awesome trip down memory lane when you're on the bus, etc. I'll have to get one for sure. By the way - can you actually store this many games on the machine itself as far as RAM goes? I was consi...

GP2X

Very cool - How good is the emulation on the unit? Would you say that it's 100%? What have you tried playing?
