Paper magazines
It may be good to also add a Paper Magazine category. As there is quite a lot of these also.

I can't find anymore where I read it. I vaguely remember that at least one of the articles was said to discuss different delays in VIC registers? And perhaps the magazine was 64'er?? And maybe it was DeeKay??? |

They made stuff for 64er and also Magic Disk iirc. Also under fake names ("erect") |

Ok, not sure if my mind plays tricks on me, but I'm rather sure that there were some articles about raster tricks by Crossbow printed in GO64, but I don't think these are available online somewhere...
I'd have to do *a lot of digging* (and sorting afterwards;)) to get more details, like the numbers of the issues. Must be around the late 90ies... |

Well, don't bother if it is a lot of work, but if you happen to stumble on them (and remember this thread) someday... :-)
EDIT: I found at least some issues online, so I can start browsing:
https://archive.org/details/go64-verlang
And here are some more links (under Weblinks). Also to the cover disks:
https://www.c64-wiki.de/wiki/GO64!
Here is part of one article from Crossbow the (Issue 10, 2000):

Unfortunately not the whole article :-( |

Ohhh, interesting article! It translates quite nicely into English. I never knew about that D016 trick in the upper/lower border for opening “black holes”. Great idea! |

Judging from the contents of the disk images that can be found under a link given on the c64-wiki-homepage, there was a "VIC-inside"-article about stable rasters in issue 07-1998. I'm pretty sure the "VIC inside"-article-series were written by mighty Crossbow.
Wasn't able to find a digital copy of this issue on the net, though. Should I ever stumble across it, I'll give a shout here (and e.g. send a scan of it to the ones interested). But digging for it is currently really not my top point on my to-do-list, I have to admit;) |

In the last paragraph he starts to explain how one can create a real single-character vertical border scroller (see the Crest demo Krestage) using differences in delays in VIC registers and $3fff.
Copyfault, would it be too much to ask for a scan of only the article in Issue 10, 2000 (the last link I posted above)? If you can easily find that issue, that is. |

Well, all the old Go64s share the same place "somewhere in my flat"... so *if* I'll ever encounter the mags, I will most probably be able to scan a lot of issues (my collection was not complete, but iirc only a few very early issues were missing).
So I can't promise anything. It'd be really good if one of the mag-founders read this; guess they could help in a far more reasonable timescope ;) |
