https://fgsoftblog.files.wordpress.com/2023/04/centometrista-2.png Howdy folks! I've just released a little 100-meter dash BASIC game. Larry and Julius are somehow sort of back... this time as sprinters. 8) You can download the game's D64 image, the source code and a (somewhat verbose) foreword fro...

I've ported a simple dice game to a good number of 8-bit systems of the '70s/'80s (I'd already posted the VIC-20 version here).
The complete package can be downloaded from here.

Cheers

That is really sad news.
Peddle is one of the most important, yet overlooked, figures in personal computer history.
Will be missed.

I'm trying the freshly released nightly build GTK3VICE-3.3-win64-r37084. It has the "Real device (OpenCBM)" option, but it won't work. The console window shows this error: "USB release intf error: libusb0-dll:err [release interface] could not release interface 0, win error: The requir...

I'm going to answer myself. It's not an issue with x32 or x64 or with the system paths; it's just that the version of WinVICE I was testing just does not have the "use real IEC drive" option. I found it on later experimental builds, but those have issues of their own, so I will just revert...

I recently rebuilt my home system, switching from Windows 7 x64 to Windows 10 x64. I have installed my ZoomFloppy interface and the companion OpenCBM tools following this tutorial: https://opencbm.trikaliotis.net/opencbm-8.html I can now use the interface via command line (directly invoking the Open...

The forum does allow to host files; indeed when I uploaded my game (Pyrotech) I chose to host it both on the forum and on a separate website, and the hosted zip file is still there despite the ups and downs Denial has had lately. Although, a central organized repository would be super cool.

Da stamattina non riesco a raggiungere questo forum a meno di non usare un proxy http impostando un Paese diverso dall'Italia.
Ieri sera era tutto OK, ho anche postato.
L'intero dominio shamani.dk è inaccessibile.
La mia connessione è Wind Fibra.
Qualcun altro sta avendo il problema?

It was probably a massive spike of downloads of my game

Looking at the commented lines in VICE's .vkm keyboard mapping definition files, I see a shift code (256) mentioned that is used for an alternative keyboard mapping for the same, already defined, key(s). How is this alternative mapping engaged?
