  1. I forgot to mention that all the stated drives are virtualized and not real hardware. Just to make sure, that everbody is talking about the same. 😅

  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! ...

  22. 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 :)
