Thanks for letting me know. Time to switch to .T64 version then

The disk version should work if you select "True Drive Emulation" under Options. However, when you do that, also make sure you have a 1541 drive selected under Settings | Drive Settings | Drive 8 | 1541.

I just verified that works for me.

The "True Drive Emulation" setting will be a rom option for the WinVICE module when the next HL is released.

I'm using WinVICE v2.4

Yay....can't wait till the next HL is released!

I do not believe that one is even in the database. We can add it at some point. Thank you for sharing your interest in the good ole c64.

Barbarian - The Ultimate Warrior (Europe) was added (wheel, video, artwork, HL media renamed, Game). Then I updated Barabarian (Europe) that was they Psygnosis one. So they both are on there. I never played the psygnosis one, Loved wacking heads off on the ultimate warrior though! Thanks.

PNG Videos added for Trivial Pursuit Baby Boomer Edition, Indiana Jones Games, Space-Pilot II, Micro Rhythm.

[lurkio321]

don't know if you want to add The Way of the Exploding Fist (Melbourne House) to this collection. I have roms for this and for One man and his droid if you need them.

Would like to add a request for a title I miss. Street Surfer from 1986 by Mastertronic ?

[dougan78]

Went through the giant pile of scans Goofers cleaned up. He did some nice work. Cleaned up a lot of boxes. He also found better boxes for Standing Stones and Zork 1,2,3 So those are updated as well. He has several new boxes to I need wheel art for too!

Cheers!

Moonwalker - The Computer Game (Europe)

Wheel cropped from Genesis

Cover from goofers

Database updated and rom added.

I saw the scan for that one actually so will be added at some point.

[goofers]

Has anyone started on making a video set for this would be great to have the videos

I have some vids I made for an old set, that may not be of emu vids quality and definitely aren't named correctly. ..

[goofers]

Do you want to help us out and do vids I have never done them man?

[sic]

Would also be nice is someone that know how to create videos did a new intro video for C64. I dont know about you other guys but I think the "original" video is kinda boring.

Have you checked with the guy called "Night" over at emumovies. He has done a lot of c64 videos, maybe he is interested

A little "bug" report. Just saw that the wheelart for Wizball is actually a boxcover.

I was wondering about that. Saw that last night. It just used the amiga wheel. It is fixed now.

I just made a couple test vids with WinVICE and FRAPs, recorded fine except for when the screen was static. It didn't want to start actually recording until the screen refreshed or there was movement, weird.

Anyway even with just this subset of roms (the full project database looks huge) and after fixing some vid titles that were renamed incorrectly, there are 927 missing vids from this set. Yikes.

Ummm....yeah.... 927. That is monsterous. We have pngs for the time being. i love c64 but even i draw the line some where. On the plus side i am close to having the command done to batch convert all the manuals to pdfs with the correct name.

[dougan78]

Well, some feedback from c64 lovers is requested on this Manual stuff. Here is what I did:

1. Rename Manual Folders to take out spaces and use _ in place of space with bulk rename.

2. Use Image Magick Convert.exe

3. Run this command on Manuals folder: for /f %f in ('dir /b') do convert "C:\Hyperspin\Hyperlaunch\Media\Manuals\Commodore 64\%f\*.jpg" "c:\Hyperspin\Hyperlaunch\Media\Manuals\Commodore 64\%f\%f.pdf"

4. Rename Manuals and Manual folders removing _ and put spaces back in.

5. Review the awesomeness that is the manuals.

Now the gotcha, is the fact that some games, Gateway to the Savage Frontier for example, have Adventurers Journal, Rulebook, etc. Those are combined into 1 PDF. How big of a deal is that? Should I take this all a step further and separate those out? If you are looking for space savings you won't find any, convert.exe just combines the images and dumps them through a PDF stream as is. I did not want to lose any quality any way so in my Gateway to the Savage Frontier example the JPGs are 42megs and the PDF is 42 megs.

Let me know any feed back. I am on the fence as to if it matters.

Edit my initial thought is 1 pdf on a cab is easier to deal with. No loss pdf quality so if someone wants to bust the pdf up they can. May be hard to find maps or something later but i made a best effort to put that stuff in inserts under artwork instead.
