I got the Amazon book and the print quality is pretty pedestrian...would there be any advantage to springing for the lulu book other than being easier to read?

MV tells the system to boot into VIC-20 mode. You can also add TN or TP for NTSC/PAL if needed.

This doesn't work on the Mini, which only boots into C64 mode.

Yes, please! I had a helluva time getting the CRT file to work with VICE, and I think it’s worth having a known-working file just for The64. Thanks! Looks like it forked when I uploaded, but file is there now. Bradeep, you did not actually state how you tried exactly to operate the original file, w...

I might be the only one who cares, but the file actually needs to be 8194 bytes to worked correctly...so I did that and now I can mount the CRT and run wAx without issue.

Do you maybe want me to put the file on your git just in case another fringe user wants it?

I asked on the THEC64 Facebook group and got an answer...apparently the system does not like the CRT file, had to use the PRG and add some padding to get it to exactly 8192 bytes. Works now, thanks! EDIT: Spoke too soon...can load the assembler (both PEEKs work, SYS40960 shows the .A prompt, can use...

You'll have to let me know if I'm on the right track here. I was today years old when I learned that you can even have subdirectories in a Commodore file system! But this seems to work for "entering" SD2IEC subdirectories on an SD card: OPEN15,8,15,"CD/VICLAB/":CLOSE15 .F Is tha...

The cart supports SDIEC (obviously) but I didn't see a method to enter directories directly from the BASIC interpreter...loading one of the utilities into memory also fails for some reason; works fine without the cart. Any ideas? The Penultimate Cart has the utility built-in, do you think that would...

Follow-up message as I got the cart today. First of all, rose-colored glasses off, the VIC keyboard is a pain in the ass to type on, there is no doubt. The cure is to use a Sinclair Spectrum chiclet keyboard for about two seconds and the VIC seems alright. That said, pretty much works perfectly, sav...

Responding here about the inability to run the CRT file on VICE...looks like my Linux distro was using 3.4 and refused to mount the file. Worked fine on my Mac, so just need to compile for my desktop.

tl;dr: USER ERROR

It's weird, it used to be Super Expanders going for sky-high prices, and now Super Expander and VICmon have sort of switched places for some reason. If you set a saved search on ebay, you'll probably get notified of a reasonably-priced one at some point. But also consider that working with VICmon i...
