Great stuff, looking forward to playing many a game on this ! Good luck refining it further!

I've been testing saves also and found some other games that save.

Expedition Amazon by Penguin Software seems to save and function.

Phantasie by SSI saves to disk but I haven't left the town.

Phantasie 2 by SSI saves but seems to corrupt the code.It's too bad. I can walk around and go into a couple dungeons, but then I suddenly get a 'bad subscript error' or something.(this actually might happen in regular PC Frodo.)

Most of these games don't even save on Frodo for the PC, and even when I use 1541 emulation, the code becomes corrupted or maps become garbled. I guess that is why save states are needed.

Running R4DS card with v1.11 firmware. I can get the emulator running fine, but can't get the Game ROM's to load. Grabbed the samples from the download at the very start of the thread. Is this the latest version?

If I download ROM's from romguy.com are rename to .D64 will these be OK?

The first version of the software I used, I could only get the Jumpman working, when pressing X. Now nothing loads, but the settings file in /RD has disappeared?

I don't seem to have the settings file to edit in the /RD directory? Is this a problem?

Can someone post a version that works with v1.11 of the R4DS, and offer any advice how to get it working. Bruce Lee was one of my all time faves on the 64, along with M.U.L.E, and I would love to get this working. I've tried for over 5 hours to get this working!

HELP!

Cheers, Lee

Cheers, Lee

I still haven't found any .t64s that work, even the ones that were posted as 'working'.
Oh well there are places to get every game in D64 format.

I have tried every single suggestion in this thread, but no matter what I do, I still get "device not present" error when I hit the right button to load an image.

I've tried all the various versions of Frodods and nothing helps.

Please help me ..

What device(card) are you using?
Is it DLDI compatible? If so...

Download this

Install it and choose your device when asked.

Newest version of FrodoDS
http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/att...9&d=1189437595

Right-click FrodoDS.nds and click your device from the menu. The patcher will require that you press space, twice I think.

Make a folder named "rd" in the root of your card.
Running .d64 roms from anywhere else will cause a "device not present error"

Hope that helps

Hi crookedmouth.

I just followed your instructions word for word for my R4 and I still get device not present errors.

I can't understand why this emulator is so difficult to get to work when other emulators seem fine and don't need patching.

Any more tips?

same here for r4 (both with/without dldi patching) !!!!!!!!!!! damn, we need to know how to fix this

[creepy_smell]

I have the r4 and it works fine for me. I used the latest version in this thread - v83007 (not the one on GPF's main page - v30507).

I unzipped the file which defaulted to having a RD folder with files in it [c64 system rom files, frodo.fpr (Settings file)and some snapshot files (fss)] and the frodods.nds file. I added a few games to the RD folder and then copied the RD folder and nds file to the root of my r4/microsd card (R4 does the autopatching).

Occassionally I've had to double select a game before it would run but it works fine for me. I would double check that the nds file and then the RD folder are in the root of your memory card. Then make sure all the files that came in the zipped RD file are still in it.

Also, what games are you trying? Try some from this thread that others have got working if you haven't already. Bruce Lee and Blue Max d64s work for me. Maybe try the same game but from a different source.
