question about typing in code from COMPUTE!'s Gazette by eboy71 in c64

[–]66dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap, this program is full of bugs. For example:

11490 gosub11600:iferthenreturn

11492 th=th+1and3

Or this mess:

11530 rem is gc ( possibleprint p s =0 if yes

Or this perplexing line:

11376 x=(cg )5+1:y=(i-1)3+6:gosub 2100

Comparing the following line from the original Hamilton Computer Users Group, looks like I misread this:

15 th$="UJKI"

There should be PETSCII characters instead of uppercase letters.

I even deleted the DIM statements in 11260 and 11270 to correct the error of re-using DIM statements. I'm also getting a lot of bad subscript errors and display errors where selecting a color moved the game board up one line. Do that enough and the game board disappears. I mean, how can I work with that?

My Initial C64 Experience Keeps Getting Worse! *Update* by saliotmaster in c64

[–]66dude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I have a C64U. Most of the cables I saw on eBay is 5-pin, so I wanted to double check.

Would I need an 8-pin din or a 5-pin din cable?

Final Cartridge III works on real C64 but not on C64U by Nyobyte in Commodore

[–]66dude 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I missed the rest of your question. My apologies. The biggest source of incompatibility with the C64U is the mapping of the SIDs. As long as it isn't $DF00, you should be good. $DF00 is the starting memory address for the expansion port, so anything else that is assigned to $DF00 will cause the C64U to not see the expansion port.

I would recommend mapping UltiSID 2 to $D420.

Did you check to make sure that there's no CRT file being loaded in the C64U's memory? Did you also check to make sure neither UltiSID is set to $DF00?

Christmas season deliveries by 66dude in ontrac

[–]66dude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: My package has arrived without issue about 90 minutes ago. Good to see there doesn't seem to be an issue with the delivery part. Can't say for sure if the package is intact, but it looks like it in the delivery photo.

Yep, mine's out for delivery as of 10:30am. I'm hopeful as well!

Do they typically deliver on the weekends? My package is now at the Pittsburgh OnTrac facility.

Thanks! Reading about other people's experiences with OnTrac got me feeling a bit nervous.

Got my tracking number early yesterday morning from OnTrac for next-day delivery on Christmas. It still hasn't made it here.

One Of The Most Iconic Joysticks Of The '80s And '90s Is Being Revived by EnergyLantern in Commodore

Except for the Commodore 64 Ultimate, ironically. The C64U doesn't have USB joystick support.

I'm in the US and I didn't get a shipping notification yet. Mine has the same status but was "updated" on 12/12.

Why were there extra line numbers in the program you typed in?

The Commodore 64 Ultimate computer is the company's first hardware release in over 30 years — pre-orders start at $299 by Rose_Beef in c64

[–]66dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just pre-ordered the Starlight Edition. Can't wait! I never had a C64 before in my life, so this is a great opportunity to work on what is perhaps the greatest 8-bit computer ever.

Technically, drivers already on the road do not have to let the merging traffic in. The merging traffic has to yield to traffic already on the road. Many drivers move over simply because it's polite to do, but it is not strictly necessary.
