I need help, when starting carts for the vic 20, i insert the cart in and it comes up to the ready prompt, any cart commands to start it up?

Which cartridge?
If it's one of the Scott Adams Adventure games:

AdventureLand
Pirate's Cove
Mission Impossible
Voodoo Castle
or The Count

then you need to type:

SYS32592

then press enter to stat.

If it's any game other than the above text adventures, then you probably need to clean the contacts on the cart.

Never mind, finally got my carts to work, I wasn't inserting them properly o.o

Welcome to the world of notoriously difficult cartridge insertion that is the VIC 20.

Must admit, the only cart I ever had trouble fitting was Choplifter. I honestly thought I was going to break it or my VIC, or both!

Yeah, I remember when my VIC was a virgin. I took it back to the store 'cause I couldn't get it in.

A 3K RAM cart that is.
