Re: New release: NitroWheels
Dear Vic friends, some good news: the car movement now is smoother and the difficulty has been balanced more. I'm rewriting other code so the other cars can move in a finer way too, for example. When all the work will be done, the new version will be available online; I'll try to do that asap. About...

Re: New release: NitroWheels
Just played this in VICE. Great work! The graphics are perfect for the VIC and I love the audio. I agree with orion70 that the controls are a bit twitchy, but I'll have to try it on real hardware to know for sure. thanks a lot for your feedback akator and for playing, glad you like it :) about the ...

Re: New release: NitroWheels
And now comes the dilemma: in these period I'm experiencing some problems with the 1702, but now I think it's Vice to show the color combos I used a lot cleaner than on real hardware. So I'm thinking to use fewer color combos and to spend those bytes elsewhere, maybe giving the opportunity to speedu...

Re: New release: NitroWheels
Grazie Alessandro! Glad you like it :P I played it on a real Vic and with Vice: the best gaming experience in my case is with a joystick called "Albatros" (...yes with one "s") made in the 80s in Italy: at "nitrospeed" you hear Fred Astaire's tap dance thanks to its mic...

Re: Usb joystick/gamepad with Vice?
I cannot stand gamepads. I guess that's because I grew up in the era of proper joysticks. It doesn't feel right to play any game from the joystick era on a gamepad to me (and I can't use them well). So I bought a cheap USB gamepad, opened it up and soldered a DB-9 connector to its control contact p...

Nice multicolor games?
Hi, I am wondering about which "nice" (subjective, of course) multicolor games ante y2k there are for our beloved Vic. Three that come to my mind atm are: Spiders of Mars (8k) imho its smoothness is really good! Miner 2049'er (cart) Krazy Kong (the one by Anirog) (24k) What are some multic...

Usb joystick/gamepad with Vice?
Hi, when I play the games with Vice or other emulators I usually use an iBuffalo gamepad, a replica of the SNES controller; I find it a nice and cheap controller, but maybe there are good alternatives out there. What do you use and how do you rate your gaming experience?
Thanks, have a good day
