Sounds strange, could you try some older releases of the core? I am sure i tested a bunch of games and saw no problems.... it sounds to me like something with the joystick input is wrong now. I'll have a look

Edit: OK i see it now (and now i remember this Problem too) - it only happens in Cartridge mode, and only with the real Joystick connected to the C64. My guess would be that in that case the Joystick interfers with the Keyboard in a way it shouldnt. pwsoft needs to look at this (later), i tried before and couldnt find the problem.

confirmed those two. It would be good to know more that misbehave, then i can analyze whats wrong and create more/better test programs for them.

Alot of games not working.

Please tell which of them that would be - according to my testing most games did work just fine (which is not surprising, most dont need anything fancy at all)

cool, after some tweaking i found

Which works nicely even with vicii-sync on. The picture still looks a bit strange to me, perhaps because i am using a 5:4 monitor, perhaps because there is a bit more vertical border than on my 1701. But it looks like i can add this mode for next update - cheers

Interesting... can you tell the exact timing too? I calculated (with a tool called "umc") a VGA mode for a 720x576x50 mode, and the result is nowhere close to 31kHz vertical frequency

None of my monitors can make sense of this, its detected as 640x480 and half the image does not show.

However, the same resolution at 72Hz:

is detected as 800x600 and i can make the monitor show the entire screen content.

Or perhaps there is another tool for this that will let me pick a specific vertical frequency(umc tries to do something that is as close to "VESA" as possible, i guess)? *shrug*

720x576

I wonder if anyone can find out some more details on the modes those cores are using (*)... i am playing around with it atm, but so far none of my monitors can make sense of it (*) vertical frequency at least would help, perhaps also the resolution of the (emulated) image they are displaying.

Edit: checked the Datasheet of those two BenQ monitors... both dont officially support those things, so buying one would be a gamble (and... quite a bit too expensive :))

Electroware...

I see an original Amiga PSU on your Desk - please use this one for another test.

Right now there is no way to rename the core using ChaCo ... however, you could just rename the .rbf file before you flash it.

@dejavu4u2 is that problem solved?

That sounds very odd... connecting the other cable without also connecting it elsewhere should have little to no effect *shrug*

damn thats cool! thumbs up

? Please tell exactly what you are doing there.

if you get FILE NOT FOUND, then the Computer sees the drive and the IEC Bus works! The problem is with the Disk and/or the Drive itself.

Try the following:

- connect exactly one Floppy drive

- power on the drive, then the C64R

- type in and run the following small BASIC program:

10 open 1,8,15

20 input a,b$,c,d

30 print a;b$;c;d

40 close 1

That should print the drives powerup message (DOS version ).

PLA is the most likely candidate, SID or Kernal can not cause such problem

I'd try uninstalling the catweasel drivers and whatever the kryoflux installs, and then try to install catweasel drivers again.

It could be a hardware problem too... did you disconnect the drives from the catweasel before, and perhaps when you reconnected them flipped the cable around?

Sorry, cant be of much more help there (i dont have a pc with catweasel mk4 anymore).

Wenn ich mich recht erinnere ist da ein Widerstand im Dongle und das Diagcartridge fragt irgendeinen Schwellwert ab, das sollte im Prinzip auch am C64R funktionieren. "SID im anderen Sockel" kann natürlich sein Im Zweifelsfall einfach mal hiermit testen: https://sourceforge.net/p/vice…gs/SID/paddles/paddle.prg

I fall for this way too often myself =)

Seeing the board would be interesting indeed - this very much looks like broken colour RAM.

Another interesting thing would be... enable turbo mode and configure the left button to toggle turbo. Go to BASIC and then press the button to switch turbo on and off - does that also enable/disable those random colors?

Warpcopy likes crashing on all sort of problems - make sure to disable all emulated drives and connect only one 1541 (as #8), then it should work (i am using it all the time)

I dont know this device - but if its save to use on a classic C64, then its safe to use with the C64-reloaded.
