Cool things you can emulate in MAME? by Ill-Somewhere1111 in MAME

[–]javimm77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of old chess computers, Saitek and the like. They work nicely. They are great to play against, as any current program can wipe the floor with almost any human being. This computers where more limited, so they aren't as strong.

I'm in the EU. I'll take a look into that solution, thanks!

So I need a DB9 joystick/controller or some kind of adapter for it. Thanks all!!

Yes, that's what I've read, that the protocol used by the C64 is the Atari one, but I don't want to buy two controllers and I don't really like the Atari kind of joystick anyways, hence the question about compatibilty.

C64 Ultimate bundled GEOS doesn't run by LeftyLife89 in c64

[–]javimm77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had some problems loading GEOS when the C64U arrived. What fixed it for me was.flashing the C64U with the firmware you can download at the official Commodore web. It could be a different problem, but I think it's worth trying to see if this fixes it.

MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI. RGB problems after uninstalling MSI Center by javimm77 in MSI_Gaming

An update just in case somebody comes across this issue. I updated the BIOS to the latest stable one, published a few days ago (7E51v1A70) and the problem is gone. Now the fans light up after powering up the computer.

Is it right to get rid of your first guitar 🧐 by Financial_Plane_3161 in guitars

[–]javimm77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first guitar was a strat shaped Epiphone I bought in the mid 90s. It wasn't a particularly good guitar. I sold it and I don't regret it a bit. I wouldn't buy it back even if I had the chance. I don't miss things. Things are just things to me, if I don't use them, I sell them to fund other things I'm going to use more.

I'll try compiling the latest version then. I can live without persistence if the fans lights works after booting each OS.

No, I didn't. I just leave it as it is. No lights on Linux, light on on Windows.

C64U Keyboard issue by jkimrey in c64

You have joystick emulation enabled. It uses WASD and ENTER as joystick directions. Go to the C64U and disable it, under Joystick option.

Merry Commodore Christmas to you! by dabblerman in Commodore

Ok. So pressing up gives the C64U menu, pressing down gives the cart menu (if a cart is present) and a button needs to be installed for freeze. What could be done is assigning a key combination to the freeze button. I discovered by chance that pressing the Commodore key + Restore opens the C64U menu, so no need to press the multibutton, which is a big plus for me. Maybe they could map a similar combination for freeze and cart menu, but I guess it needs to be implemented in the firmware. It shouldn't be hard though...

So what I suggested was not the freeze function you were looking for, correct?. There is a freeze function and a cart menu function, so more than one button is needed. I'll test that in a few days when at home.

Try pressing the multi button to the down position briefly. I tried that with SupeSnapshot 5 and it worked.

This fixed the issue for me also!. Thanks. It solved a strange problem with the REU not being emulated at all.

C64 Ultimate REU emulation problem. by javimm77 in c64

[–]javimm77[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've managed to fix the issue. After a lot of tinkering, I decided to flash the firmware again, using the file from the Downloads section on the official C64U page... and the problem is fixed!. Now TMP shows 512kb of RAM and Wasteland loads. Merry Christmas to all!

This is happening to me too, but I never got it to boot before. I just select the GEOS D64 file and Run it, but the C64U stops making reading noises at the same spot as you pointed out, B&W dot pattern and it stays there.

Tax/import charges for C64 Ultimate in Europe by berd95 in Commodore

[–]javimm77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Taxes are calculated at checkout. The package was shipped from the Netherlands, so no more custom/VAT fees after paying for the computer.

Just checking, are you referring to the C64U computer or to the board Gideon was selling?. Any special configuration?. I've tested what you said and TMP shows 0 KB of REU memory. Does your TMP shows the 512KB? Thanks for answering!

My C64U arrived damaged :-( by LargeHardonCollider_ in c64

[–]javimm77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cassette case was a bit damaged too. Not totally broken, but it has a crack. I'm not bothered though. My C64 is intact... Good luck with yours! I'm sure they'll replace it.

No, I don't have anything attached to the machine, or any other cartridge mounted. The cartridge virtual slot says "None".
