Cartridge images in VICE

[Vic 2000]

Using VICE xvic

A small question. I get most games, apps and demos to work without any problems...except cartridge images. Some of won't start no matter what i do. All carts from Atarisoft or Broderbund for exemple refuses to load.

File

Attach cartridge image

Add to generic...and then the correct start adress or smart attach cartridge.

Nothing happends and i only get the regular boot screen.

Am i missing something?

Using WinVICE? Then try PRG Starter:

Additional instructions for dual cart images with PRG Starter:
Some cartridge images on Vic-20 are in two parts that goes to different memory addresses. They are normally named something like SpaceMan_6000.prg and SpaceMan_A000.prg. To start these, do like this: Double click the non-A000 part. Then drag and drop the A000 part into the VICE window. Press Alt-R to start.

Yeah, regardless of attaching the images, you will likely have to do a soft reset (Alt R) to start the game.

Thanks for the help guys.

Now it works.

First i used the cartridge images from the Vic-20 TOSEC.

Then i tried the cartridge images from Gamebase Vic-20 instead.

Most of them was of Part 1/Part 2 type. Insert Part 1, (no need to reset) VICE will display the Vic-20 boot screen after about 1 sec. Insert part 2 and the game will run.
