Coolest thing i've used in a while.
I got the pi zero model for my vic 20.
Here is the site in case you havn't heard of it.
https://cbm-pi1541.firebaseapp.com/i bought my hat from china.
followed the directions and it worked.
eventually.
there are two types of hardware and i had selected the wrong type in the config.
it uses the rom for the 1541 drive and a few other files from VICE emulator.
it's just really cool.
you use button on the device to navigate to vic 20 .d64 or .prg files, select the image which is the same as loading a disk into the drive (including slowness).
then type load"*",8,1 into the vic.
after it's done type run.
just like the c64.
now i did buy the pentultimate cartridge which gives you various ram options from 8k to 35k for the home brew games which there are a few out there.
that cartridge also comes with some games.
never had a vic20, my cousin did.
i had the ti99.
i'm def. getting one of these for my c64 once i get it repaired and i'm getting the one with the fast load cartridge built in.
