Re: My 50th Birthday Cake

Looks great, my mum made me one when I got my Vic20 when I was fourteen. I still have a photo somewhere, I will dig it out.

Re: Package manager errors and Plex server (issue?)

My TV had it going streaming from the Commodore OS - worked great. Playing music, dived into a free film, stopped film and music resumed on its own. Mi...

Re: Vic20 and c16 tap files - do not load

D64 files are loading fine in the C16 folder. Will have a longer play around with the rest of the OS.

Re: Vic20 and c16 tap files - do not load

Unfortunately you can't work out Vic20 games from the extension either. An unexpanded Vic20 tap or d64 game needs no memory attached to the computer. The Vic20 moves its graphics memory and ram around so programs won't load universally by extension. An 8k or 16k game usually works with either 8k or ...
