Planet X-1 on THE C64

BergQuester · Post by **BergQuester** » Wed Dec 02, 2020 5:11 pm

I received my THE C64 classic console after waiting nearly a year for it to launch here in the States. I've been trying to get the 8-Bit guy's Planet X-1 running on it with no success. I've renamed the file to enable VIC-20 mode and extra RAM banks, but all I get is a black screen. My file name is: planetx1_MVB1B2B3B5.prg Has anyone been successful?

Thanks!

Does Planet X require 32K total RAM or base memory plus 32K? It might be worth trying: planetx1_MVB0B1B2B3B5.prg

That worked. Thanks!

I'll chock this up to not being familiar with the VIC-20 and new to this retro console's settings.

I was just following a hunch, it's been about 35 years since I last touched a VIC but I remember how problematic the memory mapping could be. Glad to be of help.
