It also features over 70 games which I converted from tape to disk images. I tried to keep them as close to original as possible. Intros and loading screens are retained.
One game I would have liked to see here is Beast of Eden. I've never been able to find a prg or d64 for that game. The only way I'm able to play it on the original hardware is on my retail tape copy which took me forever to find.

It's still a very comprehensive collection of VIC software, though (although Jeff's games seem to be a conspicuous absence) and thank you for putting it all together and making it available for us 8) .

Thanks for your feedback. Jeff's games are my TODO list but there's so many it will take a while. Beast of Eden is now added to the list too.

Seems that Beast of Eden is already in. Please see Tape-to-Disk directory.

Yes, I've just found it. Thank you so much. An 11 year search has finally come to an end :D .

I don't know if it's my firmware version but I can't load some games. I think it's because they use

Code: Select all

+@"cd/something.d64"
If I manually do

Code: Select all

+@"cd:something.d64"
then it works.

If the target is a directory (rather than an image) then "/" does work.
