how to draw C64 on a pc?
On lemon recently a few of us have been advising someone who wanted to try c64 art on how to go about doing it on a PC.
this lead me to thinking that I too wanted to know this info last year so why not do a thread on it which hopefully many current c64 artists will contribute to and then maybe we will have a very useful "kickstart" to anyone interested in starting or returning to c64 graphics.
there is one oldschooler who shall remain nameless atm who i spent some of yesterday trying to coerce back into the saddle :)
so i'll kick it off, theres are bound to be additional steps i have forgotten but here goes: |

I think not specific, but for new users a tuturoial video would be great. I think some time should be spend on explaining the layer setup timanthes uses. And how the background system works. |

Timanthes is too good to be true, which is why it crashes, I'd guess.

I've had good luck with Timanthes 3.0. The older version(s) of Timanthes crash like my crack-addled grandmother.

Maybe its offtopic but..
I wonder if there are any chances to prepare (by talented and helpful person :) some script for Timanthes, Promotion (better) or other program with could help work with MUCSU NUFLI (etc) restricions ??
Ofcourse editor would be better.. (new version of P1=)

I'm trying to transfer a png image to C64 for the first time through Timanthes 3.0, however I'm not having much luck when I try to export it as a .prg I get this error message:
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application...
What am I doing wrong? |

Ah, the unhandled exception error... It means you don't understand c64 limitations and therefore are not allowed to use Timanthes ;) |
