I reverted back to the second-latest build. The new one wasn't loading some of my games properly.

Yes, when testing, I experienced also some changes in the settings file. Obviously Frodo miraculously writes to it.

However, in my opinion, the latest version is the best in terms of timing and sound. Really big improvement compared with the last verson! Thumbs up! :thumbup:

In my opinion, getting saves to work is more crucial. Imagine, you write an assembly program for the C64 on your DS, save that one to the *.d64 Disk image, transfer the image to pc and write the stuff with opencbm - tools to a real floppy disk and finally execute it on real hardware. Neat, neat, neat!

Hi Troy

You wrote, that you don't know how to use the touch screen. Here are two workarounds:

a) Use one of the Buttons as Ctrl. E.g. if L is pressed and U on the Keyboard is touched don't execute the Keyboard-Routine but do whatever you want with this shortcut.

b) or if you know how to read touches, but not, how to draw buttons, you still can work with "invisible buttons": Top left/middle/right, above Keyboard left/middle/right would give 6 Buttons which are easy to hit

And another Suggestion: To prevent pixelloss you could
1. center the screen (and lgnore the 64 pixels left/right, 8 pixels up/down)
2. adjust the cropped windows by 4 buttons/Shortcuts
Of course this solution must be switchable since some games are not really playable this way...

Anyway: Thanks for this little C64 :thumbup:

Does the keyboard freeze and/or sound not work, periodically for anyone else?

The only way that I can make it consistently work without losing keyboard control and sound, is to make sure it is the last program I installed on my CF(I hope that is it). This means every time I alter the CF. The only thing is Kernal.rom doesn't work for me so I can't use shortcut functions.
I'm glad I can run it now. I'm just worried that future features may be broken.

Specs

DS LITE
R4
2 Gig Sandisk Micro
Running R4 Firmware version 1.08 Beta
Running FrodoDS release on 21507

Emulator runs perfectly sound is awesome. Out of the 800+ roms I have for the C64 most of what I have tried run perfectly.

Most of the Multi-Disk roms wont run or lock up.

I am trying to get Neuromancer and Mars Saga to run

Nerumancer is 4 Files Sides 1 -4

I can get to the New game selection, start game it then goes to a black screen and does nothing. Not sure if I am not giving it enough time or what.

Same thing with Mars Saga, except it sits at the EA screen and nothing more.

I have tried changing disks on both of these to see if that helps but nothing happens.

Some one explain to me how to setup this multi-disk?

Also someone mentioned creating a snapshot. How does one go about doing this?

If you are looking for a C64 GAME rom pm me I'll have it, unless it's rare which i'd probably still have anyway.
