On the Internet you can find many programs, such as Black Box, which served as a turbo for the Commodore 64. Is it possible to swap to one such program, such as BLACK BOX -X- instead of the original basic one?

View Attachment It is probably possible but you would have to replace the KERNAL and/or BASIC ROM file that's stored on THE64's internal storage with the one for e.g. Black Box. |

In that case, how to change it? How to enter such files into THE C64? 🤔

The KERNAL and BASIC ROM files are in /var/lib/vice/C64. So you need to replace these with the ones for what you want. You can use this on-screen commandline tool to access the internal filesystem and if you copy the new ROM files to the USB-drive beforehand you can copy them to the right location. Something like: # mount -o remount,rw /
# cp /var/lib/vice/C64/kernal /mnt/kernal.orig
# cp /var/lib/vice/C64/basic /mnt/basic.orig
# cp /mnt/kernal /var/lib/vice/C64/
# cp /mnt/basic /var/lib/vice/C64/
# sync
# mount -o remount,ro /I didn't try this myself. Obviously there's a risk that you break something. Maybe it's easier if you send the files to spannernick and he adds it to PCUAE? |

Are you always wanting this to boot when going to classic mode? If not, can't you just save the ROM swap as a cartridge file and then even on stock firmware go to the USB menu and launch it, or under PCUAE save it as a carousel program and launch it that way even without needing to launch a full version of Vice through PCUAE?
