I wish I had a REAL C64

I have your application, and I can't figure out what good it is... it seems to just be a frontend to a database of games with no real functionality.

I have VICE as well. I can't get it to load anything.

I attach a .D64 image to drive 8, and I type:

LOAD "$",8,1

and it displays garbage ... Total garbage. I was 7 the last time I messed with this, and it was a LOT easier on the real machine... a little help?

Have you setup the frontend completely? With all the game ZIP files?

If you don't have the games, nothing will happen.


Gamebase will unZIP the game, start the emulator automatically and RUN the game for you. If you need to restart a game, in VICE you go File > Auto-start disk image and you should be in the ReZip directory where Gamebase stores the files...

Also the fact that you may have gotten the directory command and the boot first file on disk commands muddled together ;)

Load directory - LOAD"$",8:LIST
Load first file - LOAD"*",8,1

The real C64 is easier than an emulator (VICE)?
In the attach image window of VICE (ALT+8), you can double-click the C64 file you want to run, and it does so automatically. That's a lot easier than typing
LOAD"$",8
LIST
LOAD"THIS IS SLOW",8,1
RUN

Oh,that's right:
C=+Shift to get directory
(Hope it doesn't scroll off the top of the screen)
CRSR arrow up 20 times
CRSR arrow right 25 times
type ,8,1
CRSR arrow down 20 times
typw RUN

That's was much easier than 3 mouse clicks! (did you hear the sarcasm?)
