i also can't wait for it.
i did a lot tweaking to this gamebase about 5 months ago.

made all screenshots the same size 352x184, with game graphics centered.
this sent me insane.

added T64 or PRG to a bunch of games that only had TAP.

i will definitely do that.

a lot are multi-files, and need putting on a T64 to work.
i am currently sorting through the mess of vic files on my HD.

no doubt you will like them, as they load almost instantly.
you still have to wait for udg data read on some though. :P

Ah... no T64 where possible, please. This is so anyone wanting to use the files on a real Vic20, can transfer them properly. I really only want PRG, TAP or D64 in the database.

Bugger!

All the T64 are taken from your TAPs anyway.
the idea was to make loading instant from GameBase.
with any protection removed.

T64 just work, without the need of having to write a disk loader in the BASIC for every game. As you know memory is tight.

Star Commander can copy the PRGs from the T64.
for anyone wanting to transfer them.


check your PM.
