VIC-20 (rom) GAME LOAD

[DataSette]

Hello!
DonkeyKong found the VIC-20 was on.
Just do not know how to load!
All I know is that something that begins with the SYS command!

Thanks for your help!

Donkey Kong is a cartridge that automatically starts. If it doesn't, check the card edge contacts so they are not dirty. There is also a risk the cartridge is damaged.

You could troubleshoot as following:

FOR I=8192 TO 8199RINT PEEK(I);:NEXT
Result: 165 235 201 3 240 39 201 4

FOR I=40960 TO 40967RINT PEEK(I);:NEXT
Result: 17 160 17 160 65 48 195 194

If you get any other numbers, in particular long rows of 0 or 255, your cartridge and/or computer is broken.

Unfortunately ... As I have said this is a "VirtualCardige" VICE emulator

But thanks anyway, I will not give up because even a few years ago I had to VIC-20.
And this was my favorite game!

The emulator should act the same as a real Vic-20 so having the rom set and powering on the virtual system it should autoboot unless the rom is corrupt or in an unknown format (unsupported zip format or something). The BASIC code Anders supplied should also still work for printing out the data at the cartridge slot in the emulator and knowing if it's being read.

Sorry, it was unclear that you were working with VICE and ROM files. In this case, you need to mount the Donkey Kong.2000 file into memory block $2000, the Donkey Kong.A000 file into memory block $A000 and then press Alt-R or choose Reset from the menus. In that way the emulated cartridge will autostart.
