I followed the directions for serial support (UART Connection: MIDI, MidiLink: Remote, Type: TCP) and loaded Striketerm 2014 (confirming baud to be 2400), but I can't get basic communication with itself working - typing anything at all just results in the same C= graphics character being printed. Something is listening, because "at" results in a longer string of the same garbage characters being returned than just, for example, hitting RETURN, but I can't seem to get any actual data back. I've tried PAL and NTSC, I've tried a full config reset (C64 and UART) - can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I've also tried manually setting the MIDI baud rate to 2400 and MIDI with no change (what should it be?).

Re: Difficulty with "modem"
In the OSD of the C64 core you need to set "User Port:" to "UART". It is set to "Joystick" by default.

Re: Difficulty with "modem"
The new OSD "Change UART Baud" (or Soundfont) options won't work (for now) unless you have updated MidiLink with midilink_updater.sh
The INI is set for 2400 for the C64 core. You can verify (or change) this by checking the "[C64]" section in "/media/fat/linux/MidiLink.INI"
Yes, that will most likely fix the behavior you describe.Threepwood wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2020 7:30 am In the OSD of the C64 core you need to set "User Port:" to "UART". It is set to "Joystick" by default.
Joysticks 3 and 4 also utilize the USER port. Joysticks 1 and 2 will still be available...
