THEC64 Update 15th November 2019
As we get ever closer to THEC64 being delivered to backers and then retailers, today we start serialising an FAQ about the full-size THEC64. Every few days or so we will publish the next part, hopefully giving you all an insight into what THEC64 can do over the next few weeks.
Obviously, the full User Manual for THEC64 that will be available online explains everything in more detail, but hopefully you will all find the FAQ interesting and informative.
So, without further ado, let’s get on with the first instalment!
F.A.Q.
If you want to know how THEC64 differs from THEC64 Mini, then you’re in the right place, and you’re reading the right article!
* What kind of TV or display monitor does THEC64 need?
THEC64 connects to any HD TV or monitor that uses HDMI. THEC64 can be configured to output the 720p HD display at 60Hz (default) or at 50Hz. This ensures that THEC64 should work on any HD display anywhere in the world.
In comparison, two separate versions of THEC64 Mini are available. The European model only runs at 50Hz and the North American model only runs at 60Hz.
* Does THEC64 come supplied with a power supply?
Yes, and the backer’s units come with a multi-adapter power supply, meaning it can be used across the world without any issues.
* What are the two different modes available on THEC64?
Carousel mode is very similar to THEC64 Mini, in that it contains a large number of pre-installed C64 games, and a few VIC 20 games as well.
VIC 20? Yes, THEC64 gives you the choice of a VIC 20 or a C64 computer, and THEC64 can boot directly into BASIC as either model, exactly like the original computers. This is called Classic mode.
* How do I insert a disk, rather than auto-boot it on THEC64?
You can insert your virtual disk files from a USB stick when THEC64 is in Classic mode, using an option called Media access.
1. Press MENU then select Media access
2. Browse to a virtual disk file (d64, g64, d81 etc.) on your USB stick
3. Highlight the relevant file and press FIRE to insert it into the disk drive on Media access
4. The current media section in Media access shows the newly inserted disk with a
5. Press MENU to return to the computer (C64 or VIC 20)
6. Now load from, browse or save to the disk as you would do normally
* How do I swap or flip a disk during a program?
Follow the process for inserting a disk from a USB stick, as explained previously. When you return to the running program, just follow the C64 program’s instructions on-screen to tell it that the disk has changed. Some programs can detect the disk change automatically.
