It looks to be a well put-together board, but why are gold-plated connectors more durable?

I'm sure it's been explained before, but are newly-designed carts like this inferior to old/classic carts, when it comes to the edge-connectors?

Hi guys,

I've noticed this nifty-looking device on ebay a few times:

Does it look like a worthwhile purchase? What are the advantages/disadvantages when compared to some of the other similar carts available for the Vic?

Wow, great to see such a legend pop up on our humble board!

Thanks for all the great gaming and good luck with the new project.

Mike.

This looks seriously good...

You deserve a huge round of applause/pat on the back/free beer (or whatever else you prefer).

Cheers,

Mike.

Still waiting for H.E.R.O.

Wish I was a coder...

Your dedication is outstanding and I'm sure I can speak for most Vic-20 owners when I say it'll be well worth the wait...

Mike.

Otherwise, it's great, very smooth animation a...

Thanks for posting the pics...

We're all getting fewer in number, older and some of us balder/fatter too!

Fantastic project, but I baulked a bit at the name - since "Jetpack" is a pretty well-known 8-bit game, although I don't think it was every officially released for the Vic. How about something that better reflects its purpose (you mentioned the SuperExpander) like... "MegaExpander&quo...

I've been following this thread from day one and it's looking better than ever.

It's still hard to believe that those images are from a Vic-20 game...

@Mayhem, Thanks for the reply - I hope I didn't sound too ungrateful or critical! GB20 is a great achievement and we all love it :-) I might give it a go with WinVice 2.4 and see how it goes. I typically don't use front-ends and just access the games directly from within Winvice, but this looked int...
