OneLoad64 Games Collection Carousels

Hi lantzelot,

I have just found out today, that the OneLoad64 collection actually contains more games then the "main" 1534 ones.  There are actually more in the "Extras" folder.

Any chance these might be added as well?  More than the carousels themselves, since for me PCUAE is kind of buggy and not that convenient, I care more of having the .cjm files like you so nicely made for all the main games in the FileLoader zip file.

Cheers!

In the PCUAE Manager I added a feature to import games from the gamebase db.  If you have the gamebase collection on your computer you can import all games and create views in any way you like. Since the gb collection contains 29000 entries and the C64 has a limit of 255 files in each folder (or carousel) you need to organize it in some way. One possibility is to use the genres in gamebase to create different views in the PCUAEManager. There is an option to import the games based on genre. Here is a screenshot of the import options in PCUAE manager:


Most of the data (title, author, composer, genre, joystick port, screenshots and cover if available) are imported, but there are no descriptions for the games available. Adding descriptions for all games would be a major task.

I mostly use the file loader for loading games since that is quicker and easier than switching carousels in PCUAE. You can export the games from the PCUAE manager to file loader, so that a cjm file is created for each game with the right joystick config.  

Really nice work! Many thanks for your continued efforts to provide a nicely integrated version of OneLoad64 for The C64 community.

I'm still hoping someone will post a video of it in action at some point, as I don't personally own the device, but we'll see...

Many thanks for creating the video, it really helps to showcase the excellent work you've done. It's fantastic to see the collection being put to such good use. I'll be sure to keep promoting this to any The C64 users I speak to.

Lol! No worries. Anyway, v4 was released last Christmas, and we're just about to release v5! It'll first be shared with subscribers of my YT channel, before being shared with the rest of the community later.

Feel free to subscribe to my channel to get future notifications and early access when future versions are released.

Been watching your videos finally. Pretty cool setup, and reading the comments from people under the vids looks like everybody is extremely happy with it. Great job.

Here you go:





I can't imagine being without the clipboard!

Nice work! Many thanks for your ongoing effort to keep The C64 users up-to-date on this.
