Quick question. Is there a way to have the carousel rotate through multiple music.wav files? It gets kind of repetitive hearing the same music all the time. Currently, I have "Master of Magic". I can always take 2 or 3 music files and merge them into a single large .wav file, but before I go through that process, I thought I'd ask if a rotation is possible of multiple music files in wave format. While I'm at it, can mp3 files be used instead?
Thanks Again,
John

No you can only play one wav file,you can't use mp3 files only wav. I have made a wav file with different c64 game music on, the file is like 100mb but it works. Once I finish it I share it.
I did notice the Menu music is lower than than the sound when you move the joystick around the Carousel,I think it's to low.I might change the movement sound it's like a popping sound.its very annoying.

You can't load d82 images with Jiffydos so Vinny's Multi Games Disks don't work, you have to disable the Jiffydos C64 kernal.
This line...
#JIFFYDOS C64 kernal
mount --bind /mnt/C64vic20kernalroms/JiffyDOS_C64.bin /usr/lib/vice/C64/kernal

Or look for alternatives for games that are in Vinny's multi-games.

Just wanted to clarify... To add my own games, I need prepare files and add them to TheC64 Carousel Game Tool, then create firmware bin file with it and replace with it the bin file in package of usb version right? |

And delete all games first (that's if you have prepared a lot of games with the tool, (max is 150 games btw) backup your games also nand with the tool. restore basic if you have a mini. Put the created .bin on your usb, run it on your mini/maxi |

No you don't need to make FW, just have the THEC64 Maxi Game Tool on the root of the usb stick then run it from there and it will find the games in the games folder on the usb stick,that how I use it, it's the best way to use it. I need to add this to first post.

I need to add this to first post. Yeah this will work better stops people messing things up, just a lot of messing around running the fake update all the time. Much prefer over mounting the system to usb though, and there is a script out there that does this, so you don't have to to it via UART |

Maybe useful in your script, if you want to determine whether you're running on a Mini or a Maxi and then copy the the hacked the64 from the right directory: # Am I a Mini (sun7i) or a Maxi (sun8i)
export MACHTYPE=;export MACHTYPE=`grep Hardware /proc/cpuinfo | sed 's/Hardware.*sun/sun/g'`
if [ $MACHTYPE = sun7i ]
then
mount --bind /mnt/games/thec64minicarousel/hackedthec64mini255 /usr/bin/the64
else if [ $MACHTYPE -= sun8i ]
then
mount --bind /mnt/games/thec64maxicarousel/hackedthec64maxi255 /usr/bin/the64
fi
fiYou can still 'disable' this by putting a '#' before the 'export' line, then the if/then/else test will fall through. |

I wanted to ask you a question Jerome.. The C64 Emulator in the Mini and Maxi when its using SID 8580 it uses FastSID and on some games the music does not play properly,its like its missing samples,Try Spy Hunter and Armalyte to see what I mean. would you be able to change the c64emu-8580.rgl to use SID 8580 ReSID...? |

You can't load d82 images with Jiffydos so Vinny's Multi Games Disks don't work, you have to disable the Jiffydos C64 kernal. This line... #JIFFYDOS C64 kernal
mount --bind /mnt/C64vic20kernalroms/JiffyDOS_C64.bin /usr/lib/vice/C64/kernal
I just had a little thought, but have you tried changing the .d82 extension to .d64 and see if that works with these games? |

I was thinking it might be the "SidResidSampling" cause its set the fast..?? if you set the sid options in Vice 2.4 to Sid Model to 8580 (FastSid) it does the same thing with the music where it don't sound right and missing samples and not playing them.If you pick 8580 (ReSID) then the music plays fine. |

Will doing this have any adverse effect for some other games, or will it improve it for all games?

@spannermick, has the download changed in the past 3 hours? I downloaded and tried it 4 hours ago and all is good with the working new games. The jiffydos selection of games doesn't load for me from the carousel though.
