sloopy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 As many of you with Commodore computers know, a REU is a useful piece of hardware to have... Recently in my mail, 'I got a Box', and inside was and interesting new device I picked up... It is a "DAC 1MB REU" by http://digitalaudioconcepts.com/ and i must say this thing is nice... Front Back Cased (I havn't put the label on it yet ;') And it fits in some common C= carts with just the screw pillar being removed and the 'latches' on the side holding the cart together... I have had this a few days, and its much better then my 512k 1764, as it is MUCH smaller, and contains a full 1MB of ram... (V, 16mb next? :') And since it uses the same main IC (the REC) as a standard Commodore RAM Expansion Unit, it is full compatible with all the same apps (Wheels, GEOS, MOD's, etc) as stock. Now on to why I am posting this, as some of you know I am primarily an 8bit Atari computer person, and I am looking for suggestions on testing this thing out. Now i have used the common CMD test utility, Wheels, and playing music on it, I am looking for something else, games? apps? thanks, sloopy.

Rybags Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 There's that recent demo which is a videocap + music of a car racing game. Unsure if it works on REU, it might stream the frames from a DMA IDE type drive. CSDB should have most modern-day releases that need REU - http://noname.c64.org/csdb/search/advanced.php Looks like you can't search by hardware criteria though.

sack-c0s Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 blueREU is a demo that works with the expansion unit It's not just the expanded RAM that is useful for demo coding - there's a few tricks that can be done by locking it to DMA out a block of data repeatedly to the same address Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/192887-commodore-c64c128-ram-expansion-unit/#findComment-2446473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
