Tinymon (a hex memory editor), then VICmon for me. Yes, and like many others: it was cool and capable of doing some nifty game programming with just those tools with the Programmer's Reference Guide as its bible. ... wasn't cross compiled on a super computer :) Gorf, et al were likely to have been ...

Net-net, there is nothing like the conveniences of a modern assembler and emulation for testing and debugging . I don't *miss* the datasette and machine language monitor process any, but I do marvel that a lot *could* be done with a minimal setup. Jeff's BASIC games are a Hall of Fame full of troph...

This is one amazing game!

One mans opinion: the best vic20 game ever.

My question: would coding such a game even have been possible back in the day? Could only the availability of modern tools make coding such a game possible?

Why did some games support doing this and not others? Is this the programmers attempt to support both PAL and NTSC with only one cartridge?

I owed this cartridge back in the day and had fun playing with it. If memory serves there were 40 phonemes that you could put together to make it speak. Unfortunatley I no longer own documentation for it, however I do have a program (maybe even several) that make it talk. One was a little graphic of...

found a different way! from the favorites view, Ctrl-F6 export to text file. Boom

Mayhem, how are you storing favorites? Is this somewhere in the database? Basically what I want to be able to do is keep my favorites in gamebase, and then know the filenames so I can write a script to save the games off to a different directory so I can load them onto my wiz for convenient play. I ...

The filenames are what the games were named on my original disk. It was a game compilation kind of disk I got from a Mr. R.L. Harris as part of a disk swap at the end of the 1980s. Probably whoever named the giles didn't know the exact name of the games so he might have saved some of them with gener...

I'm sure someone around here can finally explain this to me. Was there such as thing as a PAL version and an NTSC version of the same game? What would a game written in the US look like if played on a PAL VC20 in Germany? Would it look correct? Would something be overscanned or underscanned? Why do ...

I recognize a few of them, it's strange they aren't on GB20... ... maybe they have different names or maybe you have found additional work for Mayhem :wink: They could actually be there but I missed them. I haven't had a chance to fully study all the games in the gamebase20 yet :wink: Could be ther...

Hey guys, I have scoured my vic game collection, and cross referenced it to whats in the gamebase20 currently and came up with a handful of games that appear to be unknown. At least unknown to the gamebase20 database, maybe even unknown to ANY vic game archive or database not sure. Can you guys chec...

thanks for the tips. I was just reading the register values directly, so a simple AND should fix me up. Thanks!

I've been resurrecting some of my old games I wrote when I was a kid in order to be able to upload them and share with my people :) I had a bug 30 years ago with reading the joystick, and the bug is still there amazingly ha! I think there must be a register I need to reset or something. After reset ...

I think my little brain is finally beginning to understand. Even if the game has been converted to run as a PRG file, the TAP file is there for folks to might want to recreate the original cassette based image. If its been converted, you can run the game alot faster from the 'play game' button. If n...

I guess I'm still confused about how to get a game on the 'play game' button, and out of the 'extras' button. Do you need to load the TAP and then maybe mount a d64 file and save it to the disk? I'm guessing thats it. Maybe a howto on just how to do this might be useful, because I see there are lots...
