So Bloodwych works in Vice, but not on the C64 mini directly. I'm going to experiment with some settings on this.
I can't get the .crt to work either in Vice or on the Mini.

On the other hand, I -did- make a version that can be installed to the Carousel and starts at the initial screen. I'm going to put it in Here: thec64community.online/thread/209/bloodwychI think this is a great way for us to share files we've tested and configured! I recommend the format I've posted. |

I'm sorry - I'm sure this is covered elsewhere ...
We cannot replace/add carousel games without a hardware/mod, right? Can someone point me to an OP regarding the process? I would LOVE to replace those games...

Right now, you can put games on a USB stick, and if necessary tweak some options so that it's playable (Create your cjm file or filename switches), but if you want to replace games in your carousel right now it requires the use of a UART adapter soldered to the board in order to command the system. At least until a better way is devised. |

Yeah, I'm all over the USB thing ... but I want that carousel updated with some decent stuff  I'm not COMPLETELY inept with a soldering iron ... are there instructions somewhere? |

How close are we to a more "consumer" level solution? Amazing how you guys get this stuff figured out. I'm just not a low level hardware person. I can name the chips on an Amiga motherboard - maybe install a PAL/NTSC switch and a reset button on the C64. That's where it ends |

I have to say thank you to you cause without you shearing your copy of your firmware this would of not been possible..  Just got TheC64 Mini UI from your backup to work on my Armiga.. thec64community.online/thread/195/firmwareThanks.. |

I can reproduce this, it works fine in the USB Loader but not on the Carousel.
If I try to get it to run the .d81 directly from the .tsg instead of from the .d81.gz I sort of get it to start, but the loader does something weird. But this is certainly interesting.

I managed to get it to run from the Carousel! Big problem: Read only File system prevents you from saving to the disk. That's a big bummer. Works fine on the USB because it's not read only. But that's ok, because at least it DOES work with the USB, so we can just add a cjm version, easy enough to do.
However, if I leave the filesystem RW, it works perfectly fine. This means that there needs to be some way to mount and leave the filesystem as rw after boot. fstab shows / as already mounted rw, but something is remounting it as ro after it finishes booting.

AHA! Problem Solved! Follow the steps (Be mindful of the spaces in the commands, I recommend copying and pasting them exactly as I've written them here): When you reboot your Mini, type mount and the following line should appear somewhere: If you see the (rw,noatime) portion, then your filesystem should be defaulting to rw. Then you should be able to add the following files to your Carousel: Google Drive: drive.google.com/open?id=1e3aVOVNx-HaYZV6DEyeO3DbVOfFhlN_kCloudinary: res.cloudinary.com/dovrjnqal/raw/upload/v1541829860/eubsrfpsqnyjh3y7j8je.zipThe .d81 is not compressed but it will load just fine. It's sort of a wacky file but it does seem to work. To undo the filesystem changes, simply # rm /etc/init.d/S99startup Attachments:BuckRogersCTTD.zip (325.58 KB)

Now that I know this version works, I am eager to find out where you found the D81 version in hopes that maybe there are other SSI games like Pool of Radiance or Death Knights of Krynn? It would be great to have some good RPG's to add in. |

Thanks, I don't know why I didn't think to check csdb, I find that site a little difficult to navigate sometimes. |
