Well, if you have Star Commander to do your PC to C64 transfer it can ope=
n
up a T64 file and read the contents back to a standard C64 floppy.  Or
if you want the quick and dirty approach just dump the files and yank the
headers off.  I think they are about 1k in length but it's been a while
since I last did one...

jms7:=20
: What is a C64GS?  Do you mean a C65?

Nope, he means a C64GS games console.  It's based around the C64c board
but without drive/tape ports and a vertical cartridge slot.  I've got
about ten of them round here for spares and one I've re-rigged as a C64c.

As for Davy's question, don't quote me but a Master System pad might work
(borrow one and give it a try!) and if that does a Python 1M or Maverick
1 should work in Sega mode as well.  There are a few places that still
hold C64 cartridges but they are getting rarer now.  Only about 10 games
were ever released.

  What you would need is the RS232 cable, adjusted for null-modem capabil=
ity.
   The answer to this as well as #2 can be found in the CBM FAQ, or at le=
ast
   information pointing towards the schematics you need.

   The information you need for this project is available in the hardware
area at ftp.funet.fi.  However, it appears formadible as a project... and
you might just want to do the whole distance and make it a 2 meg machine.
Again, see that web sight for instructions-- you'll also find the RS232
instructions there as well, if I'm not mistaken.

The 128D's all came with 64k of video ram.

Hi All,
        I recently bought TWS128. I have a 1750 REU. How can I get the
REU to increase the 63K text capacity?

        I had been using ZED128.077 as a word processor and was getting
almost 630K blocks free with the expander. But the program didn't have
word wrap and the keys were starting to repeat.

        TWS has nice features, and I'd like to learn to use it for full
advantage.

The Commodore Hacking newsletter isn't a binary, so what's the

At any rate, you should contact the person who runs the cancelbot and
get them to exclude C=3D Hacking, IMHO.  Then repost it.

   I just found the above two games at a thrift... w/o the
   instructions.  Neuromancer uses its manual as copy protection (I
   think) and Autoduel might also... can anyone point me to a web (or
   FTP) site that has these manuals transcribed - or can someone sell
   me a copy of the original manuals?

I think Autoduel just uses disk protection.  It has errors on track 6
on each side, and a file (CA, I think) that points to a sector on that
track.  When you start the game, it tries to load that file over top
of one of it's executables, and then executes that piece of code.  If
that track is readable, it'll be executing nonsense.

I don't think Neuromancer has any disk protection, but when you go to
the PAX, it will ask you for info from a code wheel.  You might be
able to play without using the PAX, but there's information there that
you'd need to get very far.

There is still companies that sell games for the C64 in the UK, you have
both Electric Boys Entertainment Software and Wizard Software (I think). =
I
do not have the last Commodore Format magazine here, so I can't tell you
eaxctly. But email me and I'll give you plenty of places that sells carts
and stuff for the C64.

Comp.binaries.cbm has a moderator.  Rather, it has a team of
moderators.  I am the coordinator, and haven't had time to D/L the
submissions to a Commodore to test them.  The other moderators (who
were to be D/L'ing and testing the submissions also) have not been
doing so, which means nothing gets posted.

However this weekend I intend to deal with the backlog, so look for
several approved postings.

If anyone wants to join the moderation team, send me e-mail.  You'll
get first crack at all postings, but you will be expected to try out
at least some of them and let me know whether or not it is OK to
approve.

The reason comp.binaries.cbm is moderated is to avoid posting things
that are illegal to post (such as cracked games or other copyrighted
material where the copyright notice does not allow this sort of
thing), and to avoid anything that might be a trojan horse or virus or
other malicious software.  The down-side is that there is a delay, and
some amount of work by the moderators, needed before things can be
posted.

However I do apologize for the lack of postings.  I intend to improve
the situation directly.

It's on at least the very first two publicly released ROM versions of=20

To find out if your machine has the bug, cursor down to the very last=20
line of the screen. Now type anything (It does not matter what) for two=20
full screen lines (one logical line). Now type one more character so=20
that screen scrolls. If you then press your DEL key, the bug, if your=20
machine has it will occur. If you have a program running in memory, it=20
will run. If not, you get a message (I don't remember what as I haven't=20
encountered the bug in ages as I've learned how to avoid). If you press=20

not even the RUN/STOP-RESTORE key combination works, forcing you to turn=20
off the power and lose everything in memory (AARGH! as this was before=20
REUs with non-volatile memory and the like were made so everything was=20
indeed lost). There are a few ways to defeat this bug. If you stick to=20
certain cursor colors such as black, this bug will not occur. If you=20

even defeat it.

BTW, our first 64 was purchased in 1983 (the 64 itself came out in=20
1982).

Well, I hope this answers your question.

> [e-mail]

They can be put onto either disk or tape. =20

I personally do this by extracting the raw files from the .t64 image. =20
These raw files I now have sitting on the 'virtual' disk of the A64=20
emulator.  These raw files could be transfered to a real 1541 without=20
modification - but I don't have the hardware to connect this to my=20
Amiga. :-(  (Oh, you could use a terminal-program too.) =20

If you're using a PC. I'm not sure of what you could use to extract raw=20
files from the .t64 image...  (I know there is software about for this.)=20
For the Amiga there's "und64" on Aminet under the path:  misc/emu/ =20

If you -really- want to do this now...  you can get the raw file from=20
the .t64 file by loading it into a HEX editor, and cropping the .t64=20
header from it.  (This is what I did for many of my files...  worked=20
great too.) =20

It's done like this: =20
In most .t64 files there'll be an area at the beginning with: =20
"C64S Tape File..."  or "C64 tape image file..."  (blah blah) =20
Followed by a block of $00's, which end at about $0400 in the file. =20
For these ones with the block of $00's in the header you can=20
usually just crop the file so that $03fe is the -first- byte of the=20
file.  And if they aren't already so, change the first-two bytes=20
so they're $01 and $08, (often they're both $00) =20

If you know what the "SYS" command looks like, you can always spot=20
the beginning of a .t64 file...  the "SYS" command is $9e, often=20
followed by a space, $20, and then the number.  (eg: 2066) =20

The beginning of the file, (where the $01, $08 should be), is ALWAYS=20
6 bytes before this.  (eg:  For "frogger.t64" the "SYS" command is=20
at $0404, so the beginning of the file is at $03fe - this is the=20
most-common position.  For "Super Pipeline 2", in "superpp2.t64",=20
the "SYS" was at $0064 (Note: in this case it was -not- followed by=20
a space ($20)), so the beginning of the file was at $005e, (don't=20
forget to change the first-two characters to $01, $08.) =20

Well, this worked for me...  if you can't be bothered waiting for a=20
program to do it, use the above-method, or make a program to use=20
this method.  (It worked fine for all the .t64 files I've found at=20
the "arnold" web-site.) =20

These raw files should transfer straight to a 1541 happily. (enjoy)=20

Hope this helps. =20

Any questions, or flames for an overly-technical post are welcome. =20
:-) =20

I would suggest that you do not include binaries with C=3DHacking. The re=
ason
is that I print them out. I'm sure other readers print them out. I often
have to strip out the binaries to get printable text.

Secondly, C=3DHacking was a combination file of text and binary. Maybe th=
at
Net Cop was only referring to binaries only. Did he send you an email
personally? If so, and you feel that C=3DHacking must continue with the
binaries, then get the readers of comp.sys.cbm's support to make a limite=
d
exception.

Another alternative is to assume the role as a moderator of the comp.sys.
binaries. That way, you also control the distribution channel, just like
CBM acquiring MOS technologies for vertical integration. ;)
