Brad2600 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Don't have them...I was hoping that I would find a buyer for the C64 games I have but I don't have the 2 you want. Darn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 If you just want to be able to play them again, you could always d/l from Lemon64. Both games are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 They have emulators out there that allow you to play many many old c64 games on your PC. I can't recall which one I'm using at home. But I could send the info if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 They can also play... TAP - real tape images, watch how a real tape would load! T64 - single program tape files CRT - cartridge dump files PRG - raw C64 program files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Check out the link to my collection list in my signature. I have several C=64 games. What do you have? Trade or sell? Just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Nothing beats the real deal. You guys know there's an XE1541 cable for the C64 that's like the sio2pc except that's it's parallel. Cool software and a place to buy the cable or just get schematics: http://sta.c64.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool software and a place to buy the cable or just get schematics: http://sta.c64.org/ Yep, I've got mine, works flawlessly... helpful since I have like 600+ disks. Now I need to find some new DS DD 5.25" disks so I can write some of the newer stuff. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starscream Posted January 15, 2003 Author Share Posted January 15, 2003 Well, I'm not real good with all that mumbo jumbo.......but if it ends up being my last shot, then you guys will be getting plenty of questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Well, I'm not real good with all that mumbo jumbo.......but if it ends up being my last shot, then you guys will be getting plenty of questions no problem, just ask away It's really easy to use, connect the cable to your PC and then to your C64, load your hard drive with .c64 images, then start the starcommander software. Pick a game you want to load (I hear Henry's House rocks ) and then boot your c64 and type load 8,1 and you are all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starscream Posted January 15, 2003 Author Share Posted January 15, 2003 Now that sounds very cool. I may end up getting the cable/software. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Does the cable operate at a faster baud rate than a real drive? Or are you stuck with the native Commodore drive speed? There are cartridges that get around the limitation, so I would imagine that you could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 yeah, it has a turbo mode so you can get rid of your Fast Load cart here's a snip from the intro to Star Commander: The Star Commander is the ultimate DOS shell that can handle the image file formats of the C64 Software Emulator (© by Miha Peternel, 1994-1997), CCS64 (© by Per Håkan Sundell, 1996-2002), Personal C64 (© by Wolfgang Lorenz, 1994-1997) and VICE (© by the VICE Team, 1993-2002), it copies files and disks between the PC and a Commodore 1541/1571/1581 drive, optionally in turbo mode, and also converts several popular Commodore archive formats. It is a comfortable, user-friendly and fast giftware program with online help and is very similar to The Norton Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 You fibber. Emulators can only play disk images. LOL. Grrrrrrrr. I'm pretty sure this is the one I use. http://www.computerbrains.com/ Very Very sweet to turn your PC into a C-64. I was finally able to get thru Bruce Lee with this sucker. (No I didn't cheat!!!) OK yes I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have asked that last week, I had a box of 50 unused DD/DS 5.25"s up on eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 How much did they go for MayhemUK?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 All of 5 GBP ($8 )! Considering I paid $40 for them it was rather disappointing to say the least... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
