Testing on NTSC and everything runs fine ... not that I was expecting to see problems here, as the Vixel library is decoupled from raster beam timing.

@StefanoGaivota that's numberwang! :)

Stress testing on the #vic20. Don't think I'll need this many.

Also guess how many are moving and win a prize. The prize is the gift of counting.

" Ghostbusters " for the Commodore Vic 20.

@james There might be a clue in the file sizes. The MAIN-TC.EXE file is build with turbo c and is around 9k in size. The DGJPP compiled HELLO.EXE is much larger at 107k so I wonder if more (unintentional) stuff is going on this build.

Any ideas?

@james Hi James, love the topic for this video series.

I've got everything set up (DX2-66 etc) but I don't think my compile times with DJGPP are right. The simple hello world code is taking 55 seconds to compile?

How long is it taking yours to compile?

I put the same code through Turbo C and it compiles instantly (1 second?).
