What Vic-20 programs require 32k ram?
Does anyone know what programs exist that require a 32k memory expansion?

...but it's always been a mistery to me how to make it work. I've tried several combinations of super expander and RAM expansion (with VICE), but never managed to see it working beyond the intro screen.
Anyone can help?

...terrible to be written for 32K.
Dunno of others.

Well, I suppose some networking hardware. I haven't studied the details, but I seem to remember that Contiki on the C64 supports a few different Ethernet chips/interfaces using different drivers. The non-linear memory layout on the VIC makes cc65 more difficult to use, at least for me who are not so familiar with the compiler. My idea was to compile various drivers into the BLK5 $A000 cartridge space and have the main operating system in regular expansion RAM. I'm unsure if even that solution would be enough for actual usage.

It was hard for me to always select the game I wanted to attach to the emulator, and if it was 16k ... generic 6000-000 ...
I had enough.
Here are the 1 files games. d64 and prg.
Easy to load. Select and start.
Emulator full expansion, or BLK1-5
I think they're going on a real 32K machine too.
All game detect video system and autoconfig center.
Please search for: c NOV 01.zip
file.

I don't know if it can be useful, but both Two Days to the Race and The Queen's Footsteps require a 32K expansion (block 1,2,3,5).
