memelord Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 i put my USB stick in with the 3 Project Firestart disk images on it, but the USB symbol did not appear. i tried using basic to install it, but whenever i type in List i just get some text that says '"READONLY'. and i can't load it because if i do, it asks me to press play on the non-existent tape because it's a usb stick. i thought it was my firmware, so i downloaded the latest firmware off the official website and when i go to system information, it says "no firmware update found" for some reason. so i used a DIFFERENT usb stick and it STILL didn't work. how do i fix this?

+Gray Defender Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Probably just needs to be formatted with FAT32. This is from thec64.com website: "Ensure that your USB memory stick is formatted using FAT32 (with MBR), else your upgrade file will not be detected. See the FAQ for further details."

+OLD CS1 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 You are likely not being ignored. I have nothing to offer on this since I do not use the BASIC on the C64 Mini, so I did not figure to reply. Plus, I am not really certain given your description of what exactly you are trying to do.

carlsson Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It doesn't seem you have to go through BASIC anymore? There are instructions here in case you missed them: https://retrogames.biz/support/file-loader/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy Zapp Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 If you tried several different USB sticks and it is still not working, I would go to the thec64.com and send them a message. You can go to their Facebook site if you have a facebook account and send them a direct message. They have always answered my queries.

Nefarox Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 plug your usb stick in a pc and search for the file thec64-default.cjg or similar, open the file and remove the readonly text from it, and then try again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
