Rod has put together a series of light snesors in a 3D printed case that hook up to the user port on the VIC20. Games are loaded by fixing the sensor pack on the screen and playing back specially recorded YouTube videos with a small box of flashing lights that the sensor picks up, you have a receiver program that you load up first on the VIC20 and it then picks up the light pulses and turns that in to 1’s and 0’s.
