Hey guys, I added an update - the code is now fixed to detect and adapt to NTSC systems.

I remember this game being reviewed, I think it was in Your Computer magazine, and it was probably one of the last times that magazine reviewed VIC20 games. I never owned this one BITD, I had already moved on, but it looked interesting from the screen shots. There was a PRG dump of this a while back...

Another Romik game for the unexpanded VIC20,

This one is the sequel to Space Fortress.

One of my personal favourite VIC20 games - the noisy, colourful and frantic Jetpac.

I think the VIC version is the best, better than the Spectrum and BBC releases, but I couldn't find an NTSC friendly version.

So here it is, patched to detect PAL or NTSC and adjust accordingly.

Dotman is a Pac-Man clone from Anirog for the unexpanded VIC20. I got these files from Zimmers, but the version there is hard coded to load the second part as ZZDOTMAN from device 8. My iec2sd device defaults to device 10, so I rewrote the BASIC loader to load from whatever the current device is, an...

@orion70 What error are you seeing? I transferred the .d64 to an SD card in my Final Expansion and the game loaded as expected on a physical VIC. I should note that the BOOTLOADER program is based on code by Dave Curran I found on the tynemouthsoftware site. I meant to acknowledge that on the origin...

Try the attached version and let me know.

Looks like the Zimmers version disabled 6502 interrupts, which meant that no key presses would ever be acknowledged, which meant the program got stuck in the title screen cycle betwen $5294 and $5299

I was checking out some VIC20 related sites earlier, and stumbled across a recent summary of VIC 40-column options at a site called Tech Tinkering The summary included an entry for PET Loader - what it seems was once a cartridge based 40-column solution that perhaps tried to position itself as a way...

In the thread "Trained VIC20 Games , Cheatcodes and Trainer Pokes", @hacky provides a link to a German site with some trained VIC20 games.

Included is the German version of Bongo. I just transferred this to an SD2IEC device and loaded it on a physical VIC20. Seems to work fine.

I had a bunch of Romik games BITD, but never this one. Most Romik games were for the unexpanded VIC, and were pretty simplistic, with blocky character-cell graphics, and this one looks to be no exception. Of their library only Moons of Jupiter seems to have any wow factor, but I still like Space Att...

I couldn't find this title already converted to disk format, so I spent a little time over the Christmas break patching it for disk and for NTSC. I owned this title BITD. It was one the last games I bought before moving to the 8-bit Atari and abandoning the VIC. It was a title that come in a very la...

Boray seems to be MIA. I've been sick these past few days so I spent today digging through the code and adapting it for disk access. And I re-enabled the RUN/STOP function. I have not tried to adapt to NTSC yet. I may tackle that another time. To load the first part: LOAD "TRADER",n and th...

Attached is a zip of the d64 image.

HTH.

Is there anywhere to download Boray's zip file? The link is broken

I have the D64 image of Trader, but after Part 1 it still expects to load from tape. Also the version I have is not modified for NTSC.

I found this older post on how to use a 2764 EPROM in a modified Commodore cartridge: http://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1959&start=15 And I would like to make myself a newer Jelly Monsters cart with the fixed V2 code. But all the Commodore ROM files I have downloade...
