Sorry for asking this here, as this might have come up in a Facebook discussion already, but as I refuse to enter Facebook... Reading through the Manual for the C64 "Maxi" I see that they have added a system to have Multi-Disk-Games working (see page 58 in the manual). Have Retro Games made any announcements to backport these into the Mini? "What manual are you talking about?" - This: retrogames.biz/thec64/support/manuals-thec64By the way, there IS already a 1.3.1 update for the Mini with SOME of the enhancements of the Maxi, especially on controllers. Has anybody done any in-depth check on this? Cheers, Boris |

Yeah you can swap disks by using Media Access if you press the menu button on the Joystick in a game, is where the Virtual Keyboard is on the C64 Mini,its looks like a updated version of the USB Loader, Don't see it been added to the TheC64 Mini anytime soon, But I can swap disks anyway on the C64 Mini.  |

Yeah, but if you read the manual, they have extra parameters now for save games to be ALWAYS associated with the first disk. This solves the multidisk problem (because right now a Save on Disk 2 will not be loadable if you are on Disk 1). Have not checked whether that works on the Mini - and probably wont because I modified my Mini to use Xbox wireless gamepads and added games to the carousel and I have not seen any reports what happens when I update to 1.3.1.
As far as I can see the Media Access is NOT available on the Mini. It would be very nice if somebody backports it into the Mini. I see no reason why it should not be available but to have people buy the full size machine...
Cheers, Boris

added games to the carousel and I have not seen any reports what happens when I update to 1.3.1. doc bobo? my own carousel entries survived the 1.3.1 firmware upgrade although the upgrade sounded destructive (adding a new game and changing some tsg configs) |

The work around I have found is to find a 1581 rom or make one in an emulator and combine the discs of the game onto it. I managed to get Battletech working this way. This makes disc swaps less of a pain. |
