another problem auto boot is not working it not boots at all I found when the machine boots it needs time to see the USB Stick and sometimes it don't have enough time to see it and don't autoboot and thinks there is no USB Stick plugged in, and specially if its in a USB HUB, I have fixed it now and had to redo the code, had to give it more time to see the USB Stick, that will be fixed in v1.31. |

another problem auto boot is not working it not boots at all PCUAE 1.3 works with firmware 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 I suggest you format a USB and apply 1.5.2 upgrade then shutdown and remove the USB Reboot and check you have firmware 1.5.2 and everything on stock machine is working first then shutdown. Format a USB and copy over PCUAE 1.3 on a PC Insert into TheC64 / TheVic20 / C64 Mini If you see the PCUAE then auto boot is working. If you do not then try the setting menu and run the fake firmware If you see PCUAE now then setup the autostart mode if you want it with CTRL+7 Test if that works and come back if not. It works on My TheVic20 and C64Mini on 1.5.2 firmware and PCUAE 1.3 "more games that not working and revert to basic ,cyclons, playin ace,repton gr davy" These games work fine for me. Did you perhaps use the same USB for firmware upgrade as for PCUAE ? If so then your upgrade was applied to the PCUAE install on the USB and corrupted it. Follow the steps above and it should come right. |

PCUAEv1.31 - I have moved CTRL-1 for Carousel Gamelist Selector Screen to CTRL-F7 and THEC64 X-Windows Desktop is now CTRL-Z. CTRL-1 to 6 is now for changing Background Music.

Hey guys I hope you are all well. I'm just wondering if there is any way I can access my save states from the PCU usb drive .THEC64SAVE folder doesn't seem to have them in there (which I expected) I want to update my 1.2.1 PCU to the latest but don't want to lose the work I've spent on SEUCK to do so...Also is it possible just to update the files from my previous PCU build to the latest PCU? by simple drag and drop... I just tested the game Rygar and saved it and it's in .THEC64SAVE folder, its working...? You can copy the saves from v1.2.1 to .THEC64SAVE folder in v1.3.0   The other files you see are saves and are included in PCUAEv1.3.0, there is a picture of the PCUAEv1.3.0.7z file and its .THEC64SAVE and saves are in that folder. Rygar has the first boot bug where you have start the game twice, I think the problem is PAL and NTSC games are mixed together so that why some work and some don't first time but you can sort that by saving the game then copying the save from .THEC64SAVE folder and renaming it to the games.vsf.gz game file. |

If you see PCUAE now then setup the autostart mode if you want it with CTRL+7 How do you remove autostart mode? Would you believe CTRL & 7 - it is a toggle Wait a few seconds and the screen will blank and Autostart Disabled message appears. Reboot and you are back to stock machine. Restart PCUAE frtom Settings, System Information and run the fake firmware Once PCUAE is running enable autostart with CTRL + 7 again if you want it back on. |

PCUAEv1.3.1 Released... Have changed it back to a .exe so its easer to install to your USB Stick, it will even work in Wine on Linux...  just click on it and point it to your USB Stick and then press Extract. I have change some of the gamelists(Info Gamelist Screen Slot)so if you copy it over v1.3.0 you might see 2 of them. copy on a clean USB Stick then add your games.. |

So I got something weird going on. I`m removing all the games I don`t care about. I press ctrl-1 to get to the selection menu. It goes to the basic screen and the selection screen flickers as well.. when it`s flickering I can make out the selection screen and even move the red box around. On the basic screen ( which is present most of the time ) the letters are displayed of which I pressed to move the selection box around. I can even press return and it goes to the selection I made.
I made a video of it if you need it

I have tried the latest version PCUAEv1.3.1 and it works without problems. I finally rebuilt all the thumbnails correctly after updating the screens to 32bit thanks to the latest version of PCU Game Manager.
I noticed that the volume changes with the CRSR-DOWN and CRSR-RIGHT keys are reset as soon as you exit a game or launch another game, would it be possible to keep the set volume until the machine is restarted / shut down?

I tried to download the main file but it keeps saying server error...I also tried to download the 4 files within the main folder individually, but i get the same message? Its not a zip, (well it is in a way it is) but a exe file now, a 7zip self extractor file with PCUAEv1.3.1 in it. You go to PCU Zipped folder and you only need PCUAEv1.3.1.exe and download it, once downloaded, double click on it and point it to your USB Stick, its root and then click on Extract.. Don't copy it over v1.3.0, I have change some of the script(like carousel gamelist selector script has had a name change to shortcut key selector now cause it don't change gamelists no more) in it so needs a empty USB Stick now. PCU-FIX is for users having problems with there USB Stick, it a copy of my USB Stick with v1.3.0 on it, that works, you use Win32 Disk Imager to copy it to your USB Stick then open your USB stick delete every thing on it (cause it has v1.3.0 on it) and then copy v1.3.1 on it and it should work, once you have copied it to your USB Stick with Win32 Disk Imager you can test it to see if it works with v1.3.0 before putting v1.3.1 on it. |

I just tried to add Golden Axe to the Carousel and its crashed on The Carousel v1.3.2(blue screen with Ready on it) but works fine in The Carousel v1.4.2 so if it don't work on The Carousel v1.3.2 then try using v1.4.2(CTRL-F5).. That why I added other versions of the Carousel in PCUAE. I added Golden Axe and it added 2 versions of it to the Carousel...weird. |

Nick how does the carousel generate the games list, is it from the tsg files and is it saved anywhere or is it generated everytime it loads Generated when thee Carousel starts (so when you switch on the Mini/Maxi), from the tsg files. It's not regenerated when you load and then quit a game as far as I can see form experimenting with changing TSG files when a game is running. |

just click on it and point it to your USB Stick and then press Extract.
