Vic20 Emulation

[rockman]

Hi guys,

I'm after a Vic20 emulator for the GP32 or other handheld device.
The C64 is available and is even emulated on Mobile phones too.
But alas I haven't seen any Vic20 emulators available only for Mac or PC that require MS-DOS pref. Pentium.

I've looked at using a Pocket PC but I've found out it wouldn't run the main DOS emulator i've seen - VICE.

Anyone know of any handheld versions availble or in development?

Cheers,

It's a nice idea - I'd love to have one just so I could play Starship Escape, but I wouldn't hold your breath. I don't think there are enough people interested in the VIC-20 to make anybody port an emulator (VICE or something). Maybe Squidge would fancy writing one from scratch as a challenge...

Actually, I've just had a little surf around and found a thread on a board somewhere, where Skeezix was thinking about writing one. You never know, you might be able to pursuade him to...

anything new to the GP32 is always welcome, that's my thoughts. If people don't know the system... They will eventually

thats true, I've learned about a lot of old systems I'd never have even thought about thanks to the GP32

I've actually got a working beta of a VIC20 emulator that I wrote from scratch.
It's still quite an early beta but it boots up to BASIC and runs a few cartridge games.

There is no sound or tape support at the moment but I may start work on it again soon now that ZXGP32 is finished.

That's excellent news... hope you pick it up again! Let me know if you want a beta tester...
