  • I downloaded a big library of G64 games. When I open the G64 files I get a PRG file inside it. Pressing return on the PRG file does nothing on any of the G64 images I've tried thus far.


    Anything I'm missing here? I tried to look in the 9M version of TC64V1/V2 manual but couldn't find any info regarding how to run these types of images.

  • You'll have to mount the image and load it in BASIC just like you would do on a real C64. For most original games that means typing LOAD"*",8,1 and press return. For most games you'll also have to make sure no other hardware expansions are enabled, and only one disk drive.

    Thanks. I had already tried that but didn't wait long enough for the game to load. I simply assumed something was wrong. I sometimes forget how slow a 1541 can be :)


    Thanks again, will go and try out some G64s
