FrodoDS(c64) page added

You should add the current version to the first post and update http://gpf.dcemu.co.uk/Frodoc64.shtml. Some people are probably running the old version.

I'm using a DSLite with a M3 Simply/Kingston 1GB.

Got the latest version of FrodoDS (21507 ?), patched the .nds for DLDI, put the /rd folder in the root and also put there some .d64 files (BeachHead II and Galaxion).

It starts OK and lets me select a file from the /rd folder, I then press R to load it, the intro screen for Galaxions appears, but when I press any buttons I end up in Jumpman ?!

What am I doing wrong ?

[WATTS]

Yeah I got scrawl78 icon from email he sent me, and it will be in the next version.

Yes it support DLDI patching.

Hi Goner,

Button X is actually a feature, that loads a previous memory dump. Some games don't work, this is normal, sometimes switching joystick ports with the select key helps.

Good luck.

cool SAM works, just made the c64 do some nerdcore rap LOL

DAMN! I tried a couple versions of SAM and they don't work. I get to the screen where you select high or low memory and it resets the C64. What's your secret? However - I finally got Giana Sisters to work. (Then somebody ported the game anyways.)

The only thing I liked better about the port, is you can use the "a" button to jump. Other than that, the same.

I finall figured out SAM. (Have to do it the long way.) DUH!

I just had a look at the keyboard code and as it seems, it does not distinguish between the left and right shift keys, which is necessary for some programs (cybertracker ).

There seem to be some more bugs. Pressing HOM should move the curser to the upper left corner.

If the hex values are PETSCII, replacing 0x147 with 0x13 in keyboard.hit.c should fix it.

#define CLR 0x13 //this is HOM actually

Shift - Home (CLR) is 0x93,
DEL is 0x14,
Shift - DEL (INST) is 0x94.

RESTORE, CONTROL and CBM keys also do not behave correctly. Shift-CBM e.g. should switch to shifted mode (lower case letters).
