As a teenager I had Jelly Monsters and Super-Lander.
I too had to have the original cartridge even though I have them on the mega-cart, just for the box, artwork and smell.

Re: VIC20 Jailbar removal & improved S-video modification.
Thanks, I'm going to try it out.
I have a few Vic-20s and will keep most with the blurry "period-correct" look, but will try this on one of them for sure.

Re: Great gift for VIC-20 freaks
Nice idea.
Might be useful to also have pages with grids for designing user-defined-characters and screen layouts?

Re: Mega-cart issues?
Good idea about the cart extender. I don't have one so I'll have to see if any are listed on ebay or find if anyone is producing contemporary versions. My VIC-Rabbit has a "passthru" cart connector, so I'll play with that too, see if it helps. If you can't get any joy with the "VIC-R...

Re: Mega-cart issues?
I believe you should be able to prevent it from AutoStarting by using a cartridge port extender that allows you to turn it off? Then you could try switching it in and running the program again?

Re: Mega-cart issues?
fair enough, only skipped through.
You can try unzipping and running the attached mega-cart repair program on the Vic. Can't remember where I got it, but it has rescued mine a couple of times.

Re: Most recent Gamebase with Newest VIC-20 Games?
Just a suggestion but it would be nice to have this project re-platformed into an online offering rather than something you have to download and install on a Windows only machine. I took a look at it once and easily generated a web front-end in ASP.net by converting the access database to SQL. It co...

Re: ChatGPT with 6502
GPT-4 Can you show me how to add two sixteen-bit numbers in 6502 assembly language? Certainly! Adding two 16-bit numbers in 6502 assembly language involves a process called "16-bit addition with carry." You'll need to split each 16-bit number into two 8-bit numbers (low byte and high byte...
Re: Targ
I've never Spectar before - looks quite good.
On a related side note: It's funny how game programmers of the era thought that an ascending/descending frequency-sweep was a cool sound effect. Seems something particularly prevalent on the Vic.

Re: Targ
Thanks for this.
It looks very faithful to the original and plays great. I hadn't seen this game before, or taken any notice of it at least. Seems these early games translate quite well to the Vic in your hands.
Another quality conversion from the LeChuck stable.

Re: Furnace Tracker - A multi-system multi-engine cross tracker
That's awesome, especially the dance tune.
Is there by any chance, a player so these tunes can be played on real hardware?
