I formatted my USB and extracted the new v1.10. Only the first 200 games are showing in each Carousel - should there be more? What is the limit now? eg the last 25 games Galencia to Gyruss are not showing in 0..G. Also there are a number of double-ups (eg Silkworm, Super Cycle, Tapper etc). Sorted out some of the doubles in the Carousel Gamelist Screens now. |

I need to check it first...ok.. ..? I have downloaded it going to check it now.. what that C64 game tune, I have heart it before but don't know it name, what game is it from..

carousel is still crashing for me with the new update. Surely one other person has come across this? I have tried everything, multiple usb keys (the games read directly from the usb but not using the modded firmware) Was really hoping the new update would somehow sort my problem  Anyway, well done spannernick, great job on this and I hope I will get it working someday.. Took off one track of the wav file, Formula One Simulator at the end so it was 45 mb now it 34 mb so hopefully it should work... uploaded new version in the same place.. PCUv1.10a.exe Why its happening, maybe is because the wav I am using is for the mini and it was 45 mb, I have a maxi wav file too and thats 43 mb so it might be freezing cause the wav file is 2 mb over. I only know about it cause I got feedback from you lot saying THEC64 Maxi was freezing as I was making this.. Thanks.. All feedback is helpful.. Let me know if PCU is working for you now, Please..? it should work find now.Still not working |

you could try to find /Carousel_Games/Games the start.sh in all 3 folder (0_to_G, H_to_r , S_to_z)  #------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Background Music Soundtrack #------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Added new Carousel Music for Mini amd Maxi for gamelist umount /usr/share/the64/ui/sounds/menu.wav mount --bind /mnt/music/mix_mini4.wav /usr/share/the64/ui/sounds/menu.wav #------------------- NEW :::# Added new Carousel Music for Mini amd Maxi for gamelist # umount /usr/share/the64/ui/sounds/menu.wav # mount --bind /mnt/music/mix_mini4.wav /usr/share/the64/ui/sounds/menu.wav and try it again. |

Its weird, it works fine on my 2 mini's.. so its very weird anyway try what Franky-Byte said to do, and let us know if its working after that.you could delete the old version off the USB and copy PCUv1.10 on to the USB clean. |

I have found 5 remaining - Mega-Apocolypse, Pogo Joe, Super Cycle, Volfied and Who Dares Wins II. |

Ciao, ho trovato questi giochi e PROJECT STEALTH FIGHTER e SWORD OF FARGOAL non funzionano, puoi confermare che ho il C64 Mini.
An info only 226 games (images) maximum on the carousel I have the mini if they are more they are not displayed.

Games Total ------------ 222 in 0 to G 219 in H to G 182 in S to Z The Carousel should be able to show 255 games unless the64 was hacked wrong, did anyone test it, could hold that much,I didn't cause I didn't have that many games so can someone test it to see if it can hold 255 games..? One way of doing it is duplicate the first few games .tsg files to make it show up to 255 games, just remember what ones you have done so you can delete them afterwards. I just duplated 32 games in 0 to G and its not showing all of them when there is 255 games in there so it can only show about 226, your right, the64 file for both the c64 Mini and maxi is the same, this is where I got the64maxi file from thec64community.online/post/3351/thread and here for the theC64 Mini thec64community.online/post/3354/thread the64 file was hacked by darbyram so he must of made a mistake cause it not showing 255 games only about 226 games, so for now you can only put 226 games in each Carousel Gamelist. I update the first post,thanks for pointing it out.. |

which version of Project Carousel USB do you use ? Actually the cover should have been 0-G, and the games from 1942 - Gunship I just connected my mini how is it with the original controller ? delete also sometimes in 0-G directory 150 games. or test only times 20 at once.. Are also the covers of the games ok ? I had it once that with too large cover of the 64 gets out... this is a lunux system, if any errors occur, the system simply stops  |

I click on the system information, It gets me to the firmware , I click apply and it starts to load for a split second ( I can see antirad and greenberet) and then it freezes.If I try to choose the games from the usb icon they all work fine, very strange.I am using a mini, bought in Ireland (not sure if they are different in each country)thanks all for the help, it is driving me mad...I have added a video to show whats happening?linkHopefully someone has an idea.I tried hashing out some of the wav references, still the same :(Thanks all Just about to release v1.11 with favorites screen.. I just tested the new version PCUv1.11 on my THEC64 Mini 1.3.2 Original Pre Order, it the one with the silver sticker underneath it and my THEC64 Mini 1.3.1, it has its sticker engraved into the bottom of it. I have 2 THEC64 Mini's for testing PCU with and THEC64 Maxi PI and it works fine on all of 3 devices no problems. I can see yours is a EU version (PAL), its a argent like mine are. I will release a version for you to test without any of the WAVs enabled, properly tomorrow now, Have you at any time copied games to its firmware maybe the firmware don't like PCU, your the only one that has a problem with it, I know its not your fault, I am glad you are given me feedback about it, don't worry.. I will sort it out for you. Does your C64 Mini have a silver sticker underneath it, on it bottom or a newer model, can you look on the bottom of it for me please, I might need to see the main board too inside it..? Any info you can give me will help. I have both pal models so your one has to be one of them, they made 2 versions of the EU version. Don't know anything about the US version, Sheld I think its code name is called. This video might help you.. thec64community.online/thread/577/project-carousel-usb-tutorial-video |

Congrats guys for your efforts on this :-)
While I'm not in a modding frame of mind these days, still admire your efforts :-)
Maybe just one feedback I'd have is in that initial post, there is a picture of the True Blue package. Just found that a little confusing for a person casually browsing.
Maybe it'd present nicer if you add a big red cross over the top of that picture, just to help a casual reader out in not assuming this thread relates to true blue.
E.g. When the link to this thread got shared in the facebook forum, the thumbnail shown is the first picture on the page, which right now happens to be the true blue picture.
So just think a better thumbnail would have been that pic with a red cross over it (or perhaps your own pretty logo ;-)), just to help distinguish yourselves from them :-)

Would anyone be interested in a version of this for the True Blue Mini C64 USB Stick so PCU would replace it completely, if you have bought one that is before you knew about PCU, I was thinking of a way of reusing my TBMC64 USB Stick, I never use it to play c64 games with any more, why would I.. , its a replica of PCU, well PCU is better than it now anyway..? I should be able to format its USB Stick into one partition then copy PCU on to it.. I did like the way there game tool looks and where the games are on the left side in text form but the only thing you can edit is the joystick,AD,Pal or ntsc and what sid to use, not really alot you can edit in it. You can't add a game if you want too. it looks like it made with .NET and Visual Studio. |

Werid its the same model as one of mine so it should work, PCU works ok on it, unless it has a different board to mine inside but don't see it. it looks to me it could only be the wav files maybe. Have you copied on to your USB Stick the new version PCUv1.11..? and can I see a picture of the it on you USB Stick(the folder), all I need to see is the root of the USB Stick and whats the USB Stick called your using..? |

Added a new soundtrack to Favorites Gamelist Screen. Thanks spannernick. It is important that every time you make changes in PCU report the changelog ... it would even be interesting to do it in the initial post, with the date of the change in addition. It's a suggestion. |

I need to check it first...ok..
