Denial

I totally agree. The breadbin case is so iconic to the C64 (even though the VIC-20 had it first!) that it surprises me no one has replicated it. Logically, I don't see any reason why you couldn't use a C64 breadbin case for the VIC if you cut a bit of extra plastic out for the cartridge slot (every...

I've mentioned this before but I think the acid test for a modern display is how it fares in game with something like Galaga - black background with red or blue colours. Are you seeing the blue/red clearly or are you struggling? A lot of people see the boot-up screen and think "Oh, wonderful!&q...

It seems a shame that there aren't any after-market cases available for the VIC like there are for the C64 and the Amiga. It's a simple thing that could help more people put a system together.

Where will all the non relevant posts go otherwise, better they do not clog up the rest of the forum. I don't think that's the best justification to keep OT. The idea is that non-relevant posts won't go anywhere because there won't be a place for them and the people who want to write them will eith...

I think in 1993, Amiga's OS was superior to anything else out there. Mac OS7? Gorgeous but a bit closed. Windows 3.1? Please. Linux? Not yet. It takes quite a bit of getting used to but it seems like there is a tool for everything on the Amiga once you know what to look for. I can see why many Amig...

I've spent a good chunk of this summer on a personal mission to get more out of the Amiga. It's been a very frustrating system for me and I regard it as the most user-hostile system ever. I started by running Amibian on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. Amibian is a Linux distribution that focuses solely on runni...

One thing to remember is that the recent controversy started in the Buy/Sell/Trade section over the non-purchase of a VIC-20 cartridge. Quarrelsome people will create quarrels no matter what the subject is. A forum section is only as good or as bad as the people who use it. A lot of forums have a cl...

Following discussion in the TheVIC-20 thread about the possibility of putting together a collection of software for new users, I thought I'd start a thread to get the ball rolling. It occurs to me that for many users the primary thing that defines the VIC-20 is the programming experience so it would...

For myself, I found out about the newsletter by doing an internet search on Yahoo! for VIC-20 related things on a VT-100 text-based terminal at the library. I then found a webpage that was announcing it, and I sent an email to Jeff with my home address. And then Jeff sent me a copy of the newslette...

I'm curious about the distribution of the Denial newsletter. How did people hear about it and order a copy?

OK, since you know more about this than the rest of us, kindly be *constructive* and post or message a suggestion to me about what you think I should do. I think that was clarified in the "It is what it is" statement. In my book, a username on a public forum where the person is registered...

Dagnabbit, I'm definitely on the waiting list to buy a Mega Cart but my email changed after my divorce a few years ago. Anyone have any suggestions? Brian's username on this forum is 6502Dude. If you send a PM with your updated details, the forum will send him an e-mail notifying him that he has a ...

Please keep the debate friendly and constructive, do you even know how tiresome this is to follow ? No, because I haven't been following. I just switch off from topics that don't interest me and this one has been going around for years; gold plated connectors = good, non-gold plated connectors = ba...

It's a slight disappointment, but to be expected with this kind of thing. I believe you can customise the carousel now, so not really an issue . I disagree. I like to think of these commercial emulation packages as a collector's piece and a tribute to the system it emulates; that means a fixed set ...

I feel disappointed that they did this without consulting the Denial community. We could have brought so much more to the table; a better selection of games, a wealth of homebrews, documentation about the history of the system and we would have happily shared that information out of love for the sys...
