That's cool. Does it work?

Hey... If you want to put that C64 to use, I've got lots of disk images.... We'll have to figure out how to convert them to either tape or 5'25 inch.... Just for good mesure..

I know there's a way to hook the 1514 to a serial port on a PC, but I forgot exactly how to do that. The fun thing will be finding blank 5.25 floppies

I have all my original C-64 floppies but you'd need two discs to copy one to the other.

What games did you get? There are a few C-64 games that stand out in my mind:

1) Impossible Misson
2) Leaderboard Golf
3) Adventure Construction Set
4) Parallax
5) Uridium

And more. Man there were some GOOD games on the C-64

I am not too familiar with the COmmodore 64 workings with their drives and all that. I had thought that maybe with the use of the regular drives that are on a computer like the PC and theior clone varients. That you could use a old regular 5.25 drive and use an emulator to write them to the drive itself. ANd you would not have any problems with it. I know that some Operating systems like Linux for eample. The earlier verson of them you can write to the disk/diskettes and have no problme since you are writingthe raw data in a format that linux understands for it to boot. That is my thoughts on it.I cannot be too sure for the 1541 disk drives you can hook up via sserial ports. Since I never had done it before myself.

Compucore Wrote:Hey Qixx if you ahd a emulator working of the commodore 64 running on your home computer with a 5.25 1.2 meg floppy dsrive still in your computer. Couldn't you just format it and just copy it. I think the drive are able to read and right to it. Just a matter of writing properly to the drive itself. ANd using a single head instead of both heads at the same time like what the regular DOS and windows use.

There is a way to emulate that... hmmmm... I'll need an old PC 5.25 floppy drive....

I wish Commodore (the company) would make a come-back. They were near or at the top as far as gaming quality goes for their time. I'd be interested in seeing a resurgence of Commodore into the mainstream gaming market. I would probably even buy one instead of an XBOX or PlayStation, just to see them rise up again.

In some respects, I think Atari has done this. Seems like Atari's logo went away for many years... now they're making new games and stuff.

I just threw one of those out. Didn't think there'd ever be a need for it. Bummer.

My dad bought us C64 in 1995, it was our very first computer. It was until 1998 we bought a PC.

Our C64 is running good, the only problems I've had with it have been two burnt fuses (one from the transformer and one from the machine itself), after replacing them it's been working like new. It's the 1984 machine, grey with brown keys. We also got 1986 yellow 1541 floppy drive and a MPS-1250 matrix printer with it, alongside 50 floppies of games and utilities.

Last summer I bought a huge amount of C64 stuff with VERY low price! It was a real bargain: with just 30 euros (about the same in dollars) I got these: 3 machines (which none works properly), 3 floppy drives (2 working), 2 cassette drives (at least 1 works), 2 module games (1 works), 1 loader module, 1 cassette game and over 250 floppies full of games!

After a couple of weeks I had browsed through the mountain of floppies and listed all the games. There was over 630 different, working games!!! So, I really have something to choose from. You can't believe how enthusiastic I was when I got that pile of disks!

By the way, you can get blank floppies somewhere. There's been some for sale in a finnish internet auction pages Huuto.net. I haven't bought them, I still have some empty disks that came with the original C64 we bough 1995!

Commodore 64 rocks forever!

Here's some pictures:

Welcome back, Lightforce! I noticed you had been away for some time. Glad to see you back at The Sector!

Those are some great images of your Commodore 64. The C64 was my first computer too. I got mine back in 1983... or was it '84... one of those two. I used to spend hours writing basic programs on that thing, and playing games. I still have my C64 too... but it's been in storage for well over a decade now. I'll have to pull that thing out sometime and see if it still works. It worked the last time I had it hooked up... many years ago.
