Re: New penultimate-plus-2-cartridge

@Mike To eludicate: what happens when you load this file - paradroid.prg - with the PU+2 file browser? Cross check with the file in the SD card home directory: select at least a +8K RAM expansion, enter BASIC, do LOAD"PARADROID.PRG",8 (*not* ",8,1"!) and then RUN. When I used the...

Re: New penultimate-plus-2-cartridge

but is there a tool to convert.crt to .d64 or .prg? In VICE, attach the cartridge image. Then open the monitor and save the region of memory that contains the attached image: s "FILENAME" 0 a000 bfff The 0 after the filename means "save to host file system." This will save the r...

Re: New penultimate-plus-2-cartridge

Rich, there's no need to persuade me or someone else that loading cartridge images with the file browser of PU+2 does not lead to the desired result. Softloading cartridge images is a chapter in itself even with a standard RAM expansion (provided at least the relevant RAM areas are covered) - I cou...
