RRnet connected to MMC64 is at $df20, which should work if Contiki knows to search it there. RRnet connected to RR is located at $de02-de0f, which conflicts with RR RAM used by plugin - not a problem if Contiki disables clockport when not used. If not, then I suspect next load/save/open/close/chkin crashes when it jumps into RRnet register area. I would hate to waste 14 bytes for compatibility, but it's doable if no one is willing to patch rrnet.drv.

to use both d64 plugins (d64 writer/kratznagel and d64 mounter/tnt) i have renamed the mounter plugin from d64plgin to i64plgin (i for the ide games) and the ide games from xxx.d64 to xxx.i64

works fine now...

nice idea but do i have to do it by hand or is there a way to rename a hundret files or so with one command from .d64 to .i64? any hints??

and by the way, tnt: any news on save support?

best regards!

ren *.d64 *.i64

..in windows and dos, that is

But beware.. ALWAYS test before executing on win/dos... the behaviour with wildcard renaming is not always as you'd expect!

I have set 14.10.2006 as the next release date.

0.37 was released on my 37th birthday, so you are lucky I didn't want to release 0.38

thanks devia! will have a try at that...

and great to hear that from you tnt! i´m quietly reading this forum about once a week and thought development had come to some sort of an end... you only should have birthday more often

best regards!

Sod off, I get old fast enough the way it is!

hi tnt and guys tnt you know that you are doing save support on your plug in will it make more d64 games works ?
i know its an silly question but i was not sure

Happy birthday d64-mount-plugin!!

...wanted to be first

Too bad that Mike Dailly got me coding PAradroid Redux instead of mounter, so update is late . Good thing is that he found some compatibilty issues which can now be fixed.

paulm: it only affects compatibilty if the game already load nicely but hangs/crashes/causes nuclear meltdown/whatever when it tries to write onto disk.

A very neat plugin! I never thought I'd see the MMC get this far.

- Things go very badly if I have JiffyDOS enabled while using the plugin.

- Is there a "preferred ROM" to be running on the RR side while using this plugin? In other words, does your code care/behave better if we have flashed TFR or a RR ROM or a legacy AR ROM? I've noticed that I can exit to BASIC normally with TFR, but using the legacy AR 5 ROM I have to disable/configure memory, I cannot exit with fastload enabled, it crashes.

- Which Infocom titles were you able to load? So far I haven't been able to get any to work--either the oldest "blue screen" interpreter or the middle years "grey-screen" interpreter which gives the 1541 Y/N prompt. (dies answering either Y or N.) Edit: I have now tried a black-screen (latest) interpreter and that too fails either with Y or N.

- Do you want to hear about loading problems with IDE64 "certified" fixes, or with games which have been "CMD-fixed" but perhaps not IDE64-fixed? (Below the Root CMD version is an interesting one, for instance: the freeze routine doesn't actually trap the disk load, so it doesn't let me change sides!)

- I've noticed that I need to do a cold restart (powerdown for ~30 seconds) to "shake" the machine out of some bad habits when it will no longer load anything, after a failed load or two.

Most likely some jump back to kernal goes to lalaland with JiffyDOS. I will add checking them to my todo list.


Nope, it doesn't use ROM portion at all. Old AR ROMS use $dfxx which makes them collide with MMC64.


I will check my list when I have time.


If some IDE64 fixed game listed as working with my plugin doesn't, please let me know. (Except if it's Aliens, which doesn't work with IDE64 either!). Can I find CMD fixed games in one big pack somehere?


I've noticed this too, but haven't yet been able to determine whether it's SW or HW problem.

Not quite, but here's a site with a bunch: http://www.neef-online.de/tac/lxgame.htm

Thanks, the California Games fix works 100%, unlike the IDE64 fix. I tried a few others, they should work once TNT gets the block code going.

tryed robocop 3 in dfi then it crashes by screen going blank
and then tryed it in d64 format loaded with junk on screen

pub games cmd works fine as a dfi file

shadow of the beast cmd 2 sided d64 dont read d64 image but cant fit it in to one d64 disk so can't put in to dfi format or d64
