The C64 emulator kernal64 now supports our standard cartridge format, gmod2.

This means that Sam’s Journey and Galencia cartridges will now run with the emulator as well.

RetroVideoGamer (RVG) just released an interview and a short article about Protovision.

Reset #11 is now available with reduced international shipping from the Protovision shop! The magazine is now available for a €7.50 shipping fee instead of the previous €11.50 for international orders! We also added an option to fold the poster, because if you take the unfolded (=rolled) poster, it would again increase postage due to more packaging required.

If you have already ordered:
If you ordered without a poster, lean back: we will reimburse the extra money you paid. Please be patient, this might take a while.
In case you have ordered the poster, we will treat this as an order for the rolled poster and in that case the shipping costs are correct, so no money will be returned.
If you want to change to folded poster instead to save €4.00 on shipping – please drop us a line via our contact form on www.protovision.games.

How did this happen?
We had to learn it the hard way. For Reset #11, we needed to estimate the weight of the product before we have it printed. For this, we used an online calculator where you put in the specifications of the paper used and an „amount“. We put in the amount of 80, for 80 pages. That was wrong. Correct is 40, because the calculator calculates the weight of the paper sheets used, not the pages, because every sheet has one page on its front and one on its back. So that’s why we had the postage so high – we estimated the weight incorrectly (this is the first time we included a preorder option for a magazine)!

The deadline for the F64PGC2017, which we are running in cooperation with Forum64, is extended by one more month (to the end of May), since more than half of the contestants have voted for this.
Three games have already been submitted, and more are in the works!
As usual, there are some super sweet prizes to be won this year: a C64 Reloaded MK1 in a Dallas Moore Kickstarter housing, as well as a Xentax FM-YAM.

Would you like to see exactly what your 1541 is doing while it’s chugging away?

Now you can!

Our track display kit indicates the current track at all times.

Protovision is a cooperation of enthusiastic hobbyists. We have big plans and we need your help.

Layout and manual designer

We are looking for someone who is willing and able to create manuals for us and can take on additional small layout jobs. Experience with InDesign is appreciated, but knowledge of any other layout design software is welcome.

Project coordinator

Sometimes all you need is a little nudge to get ahead…
We need someone who keeps track on varying projects, documents every step of the way and tirelessly asks each project member for the current status. Sounds like a good task for you?

We have restocked Sam, Galencia and Bear. Also Rescuing Orc is available.

We are working on restocking Heroes & Cowards and D42-Adventure System with a multi-lingual box design (the old one was German only).

We are close to completing the long list of orders we’ve had, and shall be returning to faster delivery times soon.

Protovision has a new member: Alexander Jung aka Junale. He will be supporting us in production as well as game testing. Furthermore, he shall be representing us at retro events at times. Thank you very much for your help, Alexander!

There is a firmware update for the RR-Net MK3 cartridge (a network interface card for your C64!).

The new Reset #11 will be available from our store instead of Psytronik’s, where it was available before. The Magazine will be produced in limited supply and can be pre-ordered from our store.
