CART/PRG loading

CRT and PRG files usually has the load address in the first two bytes. If a particular file doesn't contain this address, you can load it to the default $a000 via choosing 'CRT with load address: No' option in the OSD menu. Loading a cart to the $a000 location will auto-reset the core, so it'll start automatically. If you have a multi-part cartridge, then first load the part which doesn't load to $a000. Also don't forget to enable 8k ROM option for cartrdiges!

RAM expansions

The core supports from the orginal unexpanded (5k RAM) machine to a fully extended one (total of 40k RAM). Unfortunately not all games supports all expansion modes, so you have to figure out what a particular game requires.

  • 3k Extension: $0400
  • 8k+ Extensions: $2000, $4000, $6000
  • 8k ROM/RAM: $a000

ROM file:

A VIC20.ROM file is mandatory at the root of the SD Card. The file format is: 1541 (16k) + Kernal PAL (8k) + Kernal NTSC (8k) + Basic (8k) + Char (4k).
