New physical cartridge release: Cheese And Onion

[beamrider]

Maybe a second batch - I don't think mine are...

[eslapion]

As I was saying...

The PCB of the cart seems different from the initial photos. It looks like the technical issue is now resolved.

I hooked a VIC20 to the projector in the living room and the kids and I have been playing Cheese and Onion for the past couple days. My 6 year old absolutely loves it! Its a very approachable platformer, especially for young children. Lots of hours of enjoyment from this one. Well done!

Suggest people congratulate or contact Misfit on Twitter, looks like he's abandoned this forum over the HASL issue.

Beamrider, this is a great loss for the community. Are you still in touch with him? If so, could you ask him if he can change his mind? Too bad futile fights and sometimes contentious behavior are preventing people from giving a precious contribution to our (almost) friendly forum.

[beamrider]

Not really in touch with him no you can just search for misfit Vic20 on twitter.

mine arrived today. I am please to confirm that is does indeed have ENiG. sadly the other game (spaceship minus one) only has HASL.

Nothing to do with VICE. You can just rip the image from the cart by using an XPander for example by saving BLK1,2,3 and 5 and then start with SYS64802. No special magic about it. Made a version for myself this way that I just crunched with exomizer and can load and run from SD.

I cannot share this version for obvious reasons, so it's really up to Misfit himself if he decides to make a digital release of this game at some point.

Thanks to @tokra for assistance. In the end I discovered the X switch on my Mosaic RAM Master was able to help me dumping both Cheese & Onion and Spaceship Minus One from the cartridges:

Code: Select all

Just ordered mine today, I must admit, even at my age, the little kid inside of me is looking forward to having a go, like it's Christmas morning!!!

[English Invader]

Just got round to buying and playing this. It's a lot like Super Meat Boy. The pseudo-widescreen borders are also a nice touch.

[mrr19121970]

it is currently on sale for 25 quid

[Sidney]

I will be buying this. The Future Was 8 bit and Tynemouth are awesome.

[beamrider]

Looks good but the price is creeping up and they only included misfit's titles, none of the other denial home-brew of the last 10 years.

[mrr19121970]

I think the price will stay high until the V5.x version has sold out:

I already have V4 and V5 (and most of the games as singles), so I won't be willing to buy at this price.
