  6. I'm currently trying to find out, why the Star Wars C64 demo created by Censor Design freezes on the C64 Ultimate. With a stock DOS 1541 drive the demo freezes after swapping to and playing disk 2 for a while. If you use a 1571 drive instead, the demo runs just fine.
    I think I could track it down to the fact, that this demo uses 40-Track D64 images.
    I would really like to know, if this is a "bug" in the C64U firmware or if this is some other kind of limitation or configuration issue.
    Perhaps someone out there has a bit more deep dive information to push me in the right direction?

  11. My #Commodore 1084 #CRT monitor still works - and it’s gorgeous when connected to my #C64 Ultimate. There’s nothing like a tabletop particle accelerator when you want to enjoy some perfectly smooth scrolling and nicely blurred pixels. #Physics for the win.

  16. I had over 3 hours of fun with my #commodore #c64u downloading and playing old games.

    Then I started my
    #steamdeck to play some AC: Shadows from fucking annoying #ubisoft with their Ubisoft Connect torture.

    I couldn't log in because the row to enter the password was not long enough, 1 character short. Can you believe it? Now I changed my password again, but I don't have the time now to try it out, and I am pretty pissed.

    Look, Ubisoft. You want money from customers like me? Stop pissing us off and work for and with us. This login disaster is worth nothing. I get it. You want as much data from the player as possible. But you literally kill gaming with it!

    Do I want to play the upcoming AC: Black Flag Resynced? Yeah, but not on a PC or a similar device. I am waiting until it is available for cheap, and then I will buy it for the console. Probably PS5. You wanna make money? Well, you do not get mine!

    I am probably paying for the new JAMES BOND game. So you get NOTHING! ...

    Everyone who is into the C64 breadbin should consider buying a JiffyDOS turbo loader to avoid very long loading times, either from the original floppy drive hardware or from a USB stick or memory card.

    You can get JiffyDOS here:

    The package shown is the full package for the Ultimate 64 ...

  22. Amando #fpga un #c64u o meglio un #c64ultimate non poteva mancare. Sopratutto non poteva mancare una micro sd ed una pen drive, aggiunta all’interno aumentando spazio d’archiviazione che mai verrà sfruttato. La voglia di sperimentare ed esplorare é tanta.
    Come molto corposo é il manuale ed il menu della #ultimate .
    Comunque scaricare giochi da #bbs.retrocampus.com:6510 é uno spettacolo.

  23. RE: mastodon.social/@keyboards/116

    IDK if the was different, but I love how the had an NMI key (Non-Maskable Interrupt), the RESTORE key. That means that when you press RESTORE, an interrupt is triggered which can't be ignored in hardware by the computer. (Of course, it can be ignored in software with, I guess, an RTI instruction? #6502 )

    I've used it to mess with programs that are timing-heavy (like demos) or don't seem to have the interrupt vector set up :)

  24. #Commodore has released firmware 1.1.0 for the #C64ultimate and it seems to contain the fixes from Gideon's #Ultimate64 3.14d firmware (including more robust #JiffyDOS support) while retaining the more refined system menus from the Commodore branded computers.

    #C64 #C64U #U64

  25. Experimenting with #JiffyDOS on my #Ultimate64 - it seems to be pretty hit-or-miss. The webpage had a note recommending what seems to be CIA timing settings:

    > Can I utilize JiffyDOS on the Ultimate II?
    >
    > Yes. Customers have noted that settings PH1=140 and PH2=80 work well.

    I don’t see any way of finding nor tuning these settings, though. Have I misunderstood something?

    They also have a nice website redesign. It's a lot cleaner IMO and pretty :)

  27. omg i just played two whole games of ghostbusters without remembering how/when to deploy ghost bait 🤦‍♂️ :ghostbusters: #c64u

  28. if you “run disk” 3-4 events into an epic cali-games or skate or die, good bye 👋 #c64u

  29. disk change operations on c64u are fraught because “mount disk” and “run disk” are RIGHT THERE 😭 #c64u
