I got it at archive.org!!

Thanks a lot,

New version (v13.02) of my hard drive image is out there, linked from the usual document. This is probably the most stable and polished release thus far.

Hi,

Please, could you share your document with this link?

Thanks,
Shark

And an example to process .idx files:

Implemented by Gideon on his Ultimate64 (fpga cartridge).

Would the simh source code be any help? I have a PDP-11 running UNIX 7 under simh with these instructions .

mine is 8 gb, I have no smaller

you did nothing more?

See if the image I created works. I concatenated the files in Windows and burned the image to my SD card using Win32DiskImager.

Hi, The .idx file format supposedly follows this rather simple pattern: 0x14 Silkworm 0x8306a The Great Gianna Sisters Offsets are in hexadecimal and start with “0x”. Remember that 0x14 is where the data starts (TAP tape format): 0x14 obviously means "start at the 21st byte of the tap file", 0x8306a means "start at the 536683rd byte ...

Improvements (suggested):

• Add ie15 (15ИЭ-00-013 soviet terminal):

  You can find rom files here:

• Electronika60 - M2 CPU, LSI-11 (PDP-11 LSI CPU implementation) clone.

No integer Overflow, i used last MC1201 core (MC1201_20211030.rbf). A little fast but it's playable, now we wish an elektronika 60 core

Have you tried to set "CPU slow:" to "ON"?

THANK YOU very much it runs fine !!!!

Is it running fine? Don't you get INTEGER OVERFLOW when you play Tetris? Which core version are you trying?

Thanks,
Shark

Another issue... Release MC1201_20211030 and "CPU slow:" set to "ON".

INTEGER OVERFLOW

This is my alpha version MiSTer port DVK core. https://github.com/xolod79/MC1201 You can play original Tetris by Alexey Pajitnov! Hi, Thanks a lot for this core. It's awesome. I'm trying last version (pdp2011 256kb BRAM), and I can't mount MY0 disk (selecting bank 1). With version MC1201_20211030 works (doing B and MY0 and bank 1). Playing Tetris,...

Hi, Thanks a lot for your help, but it doesn't work!! Adding ExtRAM too. I don't know what happens. All my .prg files have 9k of capacity. Regards, Shark Can you tell us which program do you try to load? I downloaded a 16 games pack from here: https://www.uber-leet.com/files/vic-20-classic-games-pack-16-games.zip All of them are .prg but now I've ...

You're going to kick yourself (I know I did) but just type RUN after you've loaded the prg. FYI: To load a TAP image, choose the OSD menu option - Tape Play/Pause Then load the .tap The Vic should display "SEARCHING" I'm typing RUN command after loaded the .prg file and nothing happens (loading different .prg files with core version 22.0...

Hi,

I'm like a dummie with this core and I don't know how could I load .prg files. I select the .prg from OSD but I don't know how to launch it. Can someone help me?

Thanks and best regards,

Seems it is somewhat possible to load tapes from the C64 cores using the ACD port, which I guess is the audio in port you can get for the MiSTer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvtQIBmj_DM Notice his comment in the description though that he is not having much success with it, it fails more often than not. Good news!! But is very common that it f...

I do agree that for preservation this is something that probably need to be there. And on the plus side kids of today and tomorrow will experience a part of the horror all us more then half dead people had to endure :ugeek: , only missing the 20min + loading times and it´s complete. :mrgreen: And then hopefully it will also be possible to partly o...

Hi team,

No news, right?

If it's available on Mist and NeptUNO FPGAs, it would be easy to implement it on MiSTer,

Thanks,

Hi,

I know that Ultimate 64 is not open source but I mean, it's possible to do it also on MiSTeR and It's true that we need someone who knows how to do it.

While it is a good idea, the implementation of index files is specific for non-native devices like u64. Addons like 1541u do not support .idx and it is not even complete in VICE as yet, so I don't think it would be a very straightforward job to undertake. Hi, Index is supported on Tapuino too. Ultimate 64 is a FPGA, then this function is implement...

Hi,

Another example of taps files with .idx files (index). Now at archive.org (part of The Ultimate Tape Archive collection):

Yes, I know it, for this reason I opened it on github too few months ago, but... No answer, nobody is interesting in that!!

Thanks,
Shark

Hi,
No news about this topic.

But another good improvement could be the option of showing on OSD the percentage of tap file that is loaded.
Tapuino has this option, I mean, on the I2C screen shows percentage and therefore you can see load process.

At the end, I think that 9V is not an issue!! You could do it with a step up booster (5V to 9V).

Please add new feature request for c64 core:

-Tape counter with index (IDX file format, see viewtopic.php?t=4298)

And for the vic20 too, of course.

Thanks a lot,

Hi @flinnsbit,

I solved the issue. I created a file directly with .vhd extension (not .img ans rename it to .vhd). Then it works.

Thanks,
Shark

Hi @flinnsbit, I created .img file running serdrive command on the MiSTer: /media/fat/games/PCXT# ./serdrive -n 80MB 80.img SerDrive - XTIDE Universal BIOS Serial Drive Server Copyright (C) 2012-2013 by XTIDE Universal BIOS Team Released under GNU GPL v2, with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY v2.0.0 Beta 3 (Jun 23 2022) Created file '80.img', geometry 158:16...

Booting from A: and doing a format c:, it doesn't find c: drive (Invalid drive specification). You miss the fdisk step, I got stumped on this as well before. But I don't understand how you format the image. Because, fdisk is to format floppy drives and format is to format hdd. Then, you rename to .vhd and you mound on ao486 as a hdd (ao486 can't m...
