Software 80 columns mode in interlace:

http://csdb.dk/release/?id=120034

Looks very good on real CRT...

My EasyFlash3 IRC program uses a 4x8 font that utilizies all 4 pixels width, so there is basically no spacing between letters. For some reason your mind makes up the spacing and I think everything looks more readable than the tiny 3x8 font (I tried with both and decided on this one) :

UserPort modems would probably work only for the BBS EF3 program... the IRC program relies heaviliy on the PC side for stuff like rememebering the history of the channels so you can have multiple channels open... so that would not work.

OSX support is up on the csdb now.

And yea, groepaz thought he would ruin the screenshot with that...

Hi Everyone

Just released 2.0 version of the IRC client for your C64 that has an EasyFlash3 cartridge:

http://csdb.dk/release/?id=160305

Yes, the client is proprietary to the EF3 connection, but it uses generic methods to get and send data, so it could be adapted to other systems...

Strange, I do exactly the same thing to run the prg on the ef3 main menu and so far it worked for everyone but you Absolutely nothing happens on the c64 side ? This is really strange... if EasyTransfer works then this should work too... also make sure that ef3irc.prg is in the same directory that ef3irc executable is !!! I have hear some people try running it without the actual prg in the same directory !

Other utilities work fine ? EF3USB , EasyTransfer (the one from skoe) ???

Do you have the latest firmware on your EF3 ? You can try by pressing "V" on the EF3 main menu. If nothing happens it is a very old version. You should get the following versions: CPLD Core version: 1.1.1 Menu Version: 1.2.0

If you don't have that then first update the CPLD core version and then the EF3 menu to latest versions... instructions and all relevant stuff on skoe's site her:

Would probably be possible, but I don't have one to write the support.

If you have an EasyFlash3 connected to a PC (or Linux or Mac) via USB cable then you can now enjoy the following:

EF3 BBS : Connect to numerous C64 BBS's and enjoy nice PETSCII graphics, modem speeds and newest releases using your real C64 and EF3 cartridge. You can also connect to normal telnet servers if you want. Downloading and Upload to/from PC is possible using XModem protocol.

EF3 IRC : Now you can ruin your eyesight by sitting at your c64 with the flickery CRT all the time chatting on #c-64 channel. 80 Columns support, colours and most commands working... is there anything better (yes, probably mostly everything else. Ed.)

Download at your usual place:

Is this so important? Noone EVER will miss this, also I don't think there is a single byte free anywhere in the rom now

Snear: Can you please tell us the EXACT versions of the games you have problems with and we will take a look asap into saving problems.

JaffyDOS is a custom kernal for the C64 with enhancements for SD2IEC.

It has the fast I/O routines of jiffydos intact, filebrowser, filecopier, md64/71/81, customizable f-keys and colours.

Eine GOTO x hätte ich mir damals auch immer gewünscht. Ich kenne aber keinen BASIC-Interpreter, der das kann.

ZX Spectrum BASIC kann es...

Looking good

In regards to only 2 channels for music and 1 channel for SFX... Ghosts'n Goblins Arcade proved that you can have 3 channels for music and also SFX at the same time without having to loose too much (or any) of the music while playing the SFX

Quote from Unseen

Ich habe zwar gesehen, dass eine Art Dateisystem-Spec in der EF-Doku steht, aber war die nicht von alx und dir? Und hat die ausser euch jemals jemand verwendet?

All Nostalgia releases use this EF Filesystem ! It is really nicely implemented...

Sweet. Thank you guys ! Now I might just order the plus...

There is a picture of a transparent U2+ case up on the facebook page, does this mean one can order that, or is it still just the three base colours?
