Well, it is clearly a bug - when NMIs are not supressed, it means the freezer isnt working correctly.

This is really strange - because NMI should be completely disabled when the menu is running (the NMI handler does nothing besides inc/dec $d020)
I have to investigate why this happens. It looks like it only ever happens in standalone mode

the TCv2 filebrowser just sees the sd2iec as a literal drive 8 so it doesn't even try to allow for sd filesystem to sd filesystem copies.
well, of course, that is expected behaviour.
-
just checked with my sd2iec, it works fine with chameleon active and an emulated drive #9 (and sd2iec #8)
-
Just a quick answer now, i'll have to check with sd2iec tomorrow:
1. generally sd2iec should "just work". try resetting the chameleon settings to default and try again. also please tell what kind of sd2iec hardware you have there.
2. is odd - again try resetting the settings. it should work
3. you can do it in the file browser (see the manual on how to enable two-panels mode). however, if sd2iec doesnt work in your setup then this will be tricky
4. generally, no. MMC64 functionality really only exists for us to debug things when something goes wrong. and some MMC64 plugins exist that are not reproduced in the chameleon filebrowser yet (like playing mp3 with mp3@c64)

I have put it on my TODO list... right now i am "optimizing" the menu system (as in refactor a lot of stuff so i can add more things) and then i can hopefully add some features that were suggested. Like Jens said, we have other details on the list that need to be worked on first, if time time permits even.

Generally that is no problem. The only thing that may happen is that (sometimes!) the autodetection for the target computer fails, so the mouse will not work correctly. If you are using the Adapter with Amiga only, jumper it accordingly to remove that problem.

tried measuring with load?

As said, that is expected behaviour

Not on a TV Set with RF connection
-
In theory you can transfer some hundred(s) kB/sec via IR if i remember correctly - however hte IR reciever in the chameleon isnt really set up for high speed transfers, and it can only recognize the CDTV protocoll. It's also just a reciever, so linking two chameleons that way can not work - using IEC for this is a much better idea (and it will then even work with real C64s)
-
Not sure what the question is, it sounds like expected behaviour. The left button (F11 on the PS/2 Keyboard) can be configured for various things, and "enter menu system" is the default. See 6.4.12 in the User Manual

There is no doubt for why they did it really - and graphics are a completely different thing than characters
-
The workshop crew (and Jens) is on holiday until next Monday, so they will look at whatever arrived until then during next week.

Yes, remember the C64 (just like the VIC20) was designed to be used with a TV via RF connection. The C64 uses twice the video bandwidth, and that made single pixel vertical lines look bad under those conditions.
-
That has nothing to do with Chameleon Commodore "fixed" the charset for the 40 columns by making all vertical lines 2 pixel wide, and indeed the result is that a few of the PETSCII symbols are now the same. You could load the vic20 chargen ROM (find it on Zimmers.net or in the VICE data directory), then you get the original Symbols (and the mentioned ones will be different).
-
modify back porch and/or sync in the vertical timing, each step there is one line
-
now you gotta try what happens if you remove or add another line
-
It can be a little more or less, but not much. slightly less is probably better than slightly more
