WIC64 dropping characters

Hello,

I have a C64C and have been using a WIC64 without issue for quite a while now. I noticed a couple of days ago that the first character of some received text lines are missing sporadically. It’s always the first one and doesn’t happen on every line. Recently there was a change to the telnet and I am not sure if that is related or not.

I wanted to check to see if anyone else using a WIC64 was seeing the same issue and if so if they were able to resolve it somehow? I am running the latest stable firmware on the device with wic launcher 2.5.

Thank you

C64 Visual assembler problem on mac

Hi everyone,

I'm having a frustrating issue with C64 Visual Assembler on my MacBook Pro M5 Pro

The Problem:

When I launch the app, it appears to open—the application icon shows in the Dock, and the top menu bar changes to "C64 Visual Assembler" (with options next to the Apple logo). However, no actual window or editor UI appears on the screen.

The Strange Part:

The very first time I installed and opened the app, it worked completely fine and the window opened as expected. But ever since I closed it that first time, it has refused to display a window on any subsequent launches.

What I've already tried:

- Reinstalling the app completely.

- Running `xattr -cr` in Terminal and bypassing Gatekeeper / security permissions.

- Trying "Bring All to Front" / "Zoom" from the macOS Window menu and using shortcuts (`Cmd + N`, `Cmd + O`).

- Clearing application state (`~/Library/Saved Application State/`).

Thanks in advance for any help or insights!

Micro Adventure Book Series

I hope I'm not the only one that was into the Micro Adventure book series. I liked them because not only did they have an "interactive" adventure story, (they were told in the 2nd person), but at the end they had a cool program that you could input into your Commodore 64/128 computer! I LOVED these books-although I found it frustrating when I mistyped a character and the whole program wouldn't work! Anyone remember these?
