He's saying that to load .t64 filetype you use the regular disk commands because frodo thinks .t64 is .d64 i think.

I am having the same problem, can't load any .d64:s.

Edit: Now got it to work, possibly the maniacmansion_2.d64 problem or sumthin.

Ok, after hours of looking through my rom collection, I've found a .T64 file which works. Bombjack. Anybody else found which other .t64 files work. It be nice to have a compatibility list, can't wait for future releases.

I can't load any .T64, I have no problem with .D64 type files. Yes if you keep maniacmansion in the preference file dir path you will have to choose your game twice every time you start FrodoDS.

Hello,

I have a question about the size of the C64 screen on DS.
Can we reach a correct ratio 320/200, with the Frodo.fpr ?

For example with this settings (actually it isn't working) :
ViewPort = 320x200
DisplayMode = 320x200x16
...
DisplayType = WINDOW

I don't now if it's possible to you to do this on the DS....but i'm interested by a correct ratio.

Frodo actually uses a screen size of 384X272 with around a 40pixel border on each side.

so what I currently have to use a 512X512 background, which i then scale and shift so that more of the screen shows and only a little bit of the border.

I've been looking at a couple of other frodo ports that seem to use a 320X200 screen and see if I can add/change my code to use that.

I wonder if it is my hardware?
Anyone else getting device not present error?

which of your favorite .t64 is giving you a problem? attached it to a reply or the name of the tape and i'll see if it works for me, or if I need to fix my code.

Thanks,

Hi guys !

I checked the Symbian version of Frodo on my Mobile N70 . It is very fast and nice sounds .
But the keyboard and the joystick is bad cause of mobile keyboard .

I hope GPF you are still fighting with the code on DS .

Please keep on working , I think your DS version of frodo is the best .

Thank you .
