Beiträge von mr.vince im Thema „G64-Schreibsupport für KryoFlux“

    Nabend (oder sagt man schon "Morgen!"?),

    ich wollte nur eben durchgeben, dass seit heute der Schreibsupport für G64 in KryoFlux zur Verfügung steht. Ich mach mich mal gleich auf ins Bett, wer will, kann ja schon einmal in der englischen Meldung stöbern und gerne Fragen stellen, die ich dann hoffentlich morgen beantworten kann.

    Aber in kurzen, knappen Worten: Man kann mit KryoFlux G64 Dateien erzeugen und durchaus einige auch schon wieder zurück auf Diskette schreiben. Es gibt noch einigen Spezialitäten, die wir noch implementieren müssen, aber irgendwo muss man ja anfangen. Viel Spaß damit...

    Happy New Year to you all!

    I would like to inform you that DTC 2.0 b14 for Windows is out. It contains a very much requested feature... G64 writing. It is still experimental (whereas G64 support itself has very much matured) and will not work with some types of protections. Apart from that it is very robust and should give you some results. However, I have to point out that writing C64 disks is very much a pain. You will need a 5.25" drive that is capable of writing DD disks (these need a different head current) and you will need to be able to put your drive into this mode. DTC itself will also set the appropriate signal if this is supported by the drive. The manual contains some hints for testing. But be prepared to precisely align your 1541 and your host drive, especially if you intend to use G64 that make use of half tracks for so called fat track protections. It is troublesome to write disks for a 40 track drive when you are using an 80 track mechanism with a narrower head. Important: Degauss your disks if these have been used with a 40 track drive, just in case. Please read the manual (Page 27ff) and come to the forums if you have any questions. Be prepared to be asked if you passed the ADF test on a 5.25" disk you wrote. If you read the manual, you will know the answer! :)

    DTC saves enhanced G64 files that are quired to write G64 files that are not modified or hacked in any way to help emulation and/or writing. Since DTC generates unmodified G64 files, it needs mastering information that enables to write these files properly. If you intend to write your G64 files, please convert them again from your stream files, using the image format -i22a instead of -i22. RapidLok key track, PirateSlayer/Busters, Melbourne House etc) are not supported now, but will come in an update. These should be easy to add, -i22a saves the correct parameters during g64 analysis, DTC just ignores them right now. Vorpal and V-MAX! are already fine, so if you like, grab the updated Defender Of The Crown Images from our server and enjoy raiding - this is where a bad copy would break. You can only write a single side in one pass at the moment, so you will need disks with two index holes (or a modified drive) if you intend to flip them.

    Regarding VICE: Version 2.4 only contains a fraction of the fixes we made to 2.3.20, which is still available on our site for download. You will notice that several original games will not work with 2.4 because e.g. the timing exact VIA emulation is not in this build. We will be preparing a new build soon, if you'd like to help, let us know. All changes to the source are available for download as well and putting them into the 2.4 source should be rather easy. We're just a little busy with so much else that we did not have the time to fix things yet.
