I think I found a bug, it to do with favorites Game Views, I am added a Favorites Games Slots 1 to 10 and when I add a cover it changed the cover in another favorites game view, Favorites 2 game view, if I change it to use the favorites 2 cover art then Favorites 3 change to the same cover its like all of them are connected to each other, like there one game slot, but I made them with Add new game one at a time ...? Picture of Favorites 9, its using the same cover and screenshots of the other 9 Favorites slots  Pictures of Favorites 1, 3 and 5... Favorites 3, I changed its cover to Favorites 3 and now they are all changed the cover to Favorites 3 cover... weird. FAV 1  FAV 3  FAV 5  If I change the cover in one of them it changes it in all of them to the same cover. I have not got a clue why its doing it, its like the database can't see they are different, maybe cause its using the same info but I would do this with the other Game Slots - 0 to G, H to R and S to Z , but it don't..? I added them to the latest PCUAE Manager setup if you want to look, I only noticed this tonight and thought they were ok, I would of not added them to the setup file if I knew they are not working. It looks like Favorites 10 is in the wrong place in the All Games View too. EDIT: I found the problem, when PCUAE Manager makes the favorites .tsg file, it is naming it the same name `00FAVORITE-ms.tsg` it needs to name them like `00FAVORITE1-ms.tsg, 00FAVORITE2-ms.tsg, 00FAVORITE3-ms.tsg`, thats why its using the same Cover and Screenshot, it thinks they are the same game slot, its uses part of the tittle in the tsg name `00FAVORITE` but did not add the favorites number to it but PCUAE Manager can see they are different slots and exports them like that but each slot has the same tsg name. Favorites 1 and its tsg file that has the same name as Favorites 2  Favorites 2 and its tsg file that has the same name as Favorites 1  |

i am only working on PCUAE-1.7.3b5(b stands for build not beta) now, I only want to work on one version not loads of different versions of PCUAE, I made a mistake last week cause I was working on 2 versions and ended up adding old scripts back cause I didn't update my main backup version I have on my hard drive.

That's strange, the same game looks like this for me, the word "independent" is on the first line, but for you it's on the second line... Must be something with character encodings messing things up, not sure why though...  I have released 2.1.0 of PCUAE Manager now, with that you can validate the database to get rid of all the errors you got when exporting games. It will replace missing screenshots with a copy of the first one if available, or a generic one if no screenshots or cover or game file is available. Please try it out. |

Hi
Just to check - what's the best way to keep my carousels that I've made that are in an earlier version of PCUAE Manager into the latest version of PCUAE Manager (i.e update 3)? Do i need to download and install the full setup again or can I just replace the old exe. file with the new one?

Post by spikespeak on Dec 20, 2021 22:59:25 GMT
Thanks, but I've just had a quick go and it looks like I'll have to download the full install to get the new Carousel Info Game Slot screen image files (in Update 2) and the new Sonic game (in Update 3). I guess I'd then need to import my existing carousels into that. |

maybe a splash screen when there is a new version of PCUAE in PCUAE - Manager ? Yes, I can add that. When it comes to the scrambled characters I will check so that the right encoding is used, seems to be a problem on specific windows setups? I might need some help testing that, I have no problems myself. I will look into that after christmas, Im off for a few days. Merry Christmas! |

PCUAE manager full install just been updated to update3, it now includes the game Sonic The Hedgehog 64, its in C64 S to Z and Favorites, it was just released today... . Does the full install, including all the C64 and Amiga games, solely involve downloading and running "pcuae-pcuaem-2.1.0-setup-update3.exe" ? Or is it also necessary to download and install game and mode packs? |

Nick, Mr. Green, Lantzelot, JJ, Ian, or other knowledgeable folks, There's a note on the website saying that "Amiga mode" currently isn't working. That's OK, I was just curious to try it out, but I can live without it. All I essentially want to do, is run TheC64 Maxi with the PCUAE carousel options, and with all the C64 games included in the installation (those games that've been included in the PCUAE carousel menus). To do this, can I simply download and run the file "PCUAE-All-In-One-Games_setup.exe" ... has it been updated with the latest bug fixes? This is on the assumption that it'll be a clean, green-fields install. Not an update of a prior install. To avoid complications, I'd rather just wipe out my previously installed "old version" entirely, and start again from scratch. Thanks. |

A clean install of pcua from the latest updated with only the c64 files would be fine. I don't want other modes on my c64, it's not part of my retro feeling of the c64. Moreover, it has become too difficult for me to keep up with everything. That is also the reason for me that I still work with old versions. Now that I'm on vacation and still have more time to relax I try some new versions, but it often doesn't run smoothly or it freezes. I use samsung micro sd cards (not ali) and all my old versions run fine on them. That is the reason for me that I no longer go with the new versions. A light version with all major c64 updates would be nice . And maybe a game pack separately for those who want it. That would be the ultimate version for me |

I'm getting a black screen after installing the fake update with the current updates. I've updated my existing, working 16GB stick to yesterday's versions of PCUAE and packs, then found out not everything would fit on it and got a 32GB stick (same model). It was formatted with MBR and FAT32.
Installed today's versions of everything on that and it also gets a black screen.
The old installation (which I still had in my C64 mini) does still work, so I used it to remove the boot script. That didn't make a difference.

are was an error with the installer ITS FIXED NOW IT HAD AN ERROR IF YOU CANNOT BOOT REMOVE THE FILES FORM THE USB STICK AND LEAVE THE GAMES FOLDER AND THEN REMOVE THE INSTALLER FROM THE FOLDER C:\Games\Project Carousel USB\PCUAE Manager\pcuae-install\ AND THEN REDOWNLOAD THE FILE THROUGH THE PCUAE MANAGER AND REINSTALL IT siorry for caps projectcarouselusb.online/release-pcuae-1-7-3Thanks for the reply! I just found this message at the PCUAE site as well. That is only the carousel/games folder I suppose (and I guess extragames can stay as well?). I'll re-download today's updates and install everything again then. EDIT: This boots further with the PCUAE splash and then a 2020 copyright message, but then the display stays black again. EDIT2: Deleted the games folder as well and then re-installed. That did the trick. EDIT3: Re-installing the script to firmware and it gives me the 2020 copyright black screen again. So booting seems to be unstable. EDIT4: There definitely still seems to be something wrong with this version. Getting 2020 black screen again. I have the latest firmware installed and all mode packs (on my The VIC-20). All done through the PCUAE manager. |

It's likewise getting too hard for me to keep up with all the constantly morphing bug workarounds, file versioning, and installation instructions. That's why I'd prefer to delete my entire old installation, and perform a clean install of the new version - providing that it's stable and working. With all the C64 games (that are part of the PCUAE carousel menus) included within the installation file - no messing around with "mode packs" or "game packs". |

Reformatted my original 16GB stick (that was working fine with older versions) with Rufus, using the recommended settings. Re-installed only PCUAE and the games export using the PCUAE manager. Same result; black screen after the 2020 copyright message.
EDIT: Did the fake update again, which did start it. Then reinstalled the firmware script. Now it is finally working. Looks like today's update fixed the boot problem. Going to update my 32GB stick again now.

I'm getting weird messages from avast. That might be one reason why it doesn't work. Tried it a few days ago and it didn't work either, now I see in my avast screen that he also deleted something. I don't know who makes changes to pcuae, but because of all the problems I don't trust the software anymore

After reformatting my 32GB stick with Rufus and re-installing the firmware script, that stick now works as well. Now back to re-installing all packs and games once again.
EDIT: Re-installed all the packs and now it is broken again. Same black screen after copyright message. I think I will give up for now and wait for things to become stable, put a lot of hours into this already.

No apologies necessary. You've done some hard work to benefit the C64 community. Many people out there don't want to mess with trying to get original hardware running, or mess around with trying to get a raspberry pi setup going either, which would still not be as easy to use unless you used something like a Keyra board with an original keyboard. And even then it's still more tweaking and less seamless to do certain things on a Pi setup than the mini or maxi.
I just wish the firmware was open source so it could be compiled to run on a Pi. Then you'd be able to do much more and still have easy to use features such as the carousel or joystick swapping, etc.

Happy to report that the latest version, 1.7.4b5, works on the first try, with every option and pack installed.
Just played Hybris on my The VIC-20, which is an odd feeling. Tried C-64 Sonic as well, pretty incredible how close it is.

Hi guys, first of all Happy Holidays. I returned here after some time and I was pleased to find that the project continues to advance and expand. I downloaded the latest release available (1.7.4b8) directly with PCU Game Manager and installed regularly on my USB stick. Everything works without major problems, except for some sporadic bugs, such as when you shut down it occasionally freezes and you have to force it to shut down. Or by disabling the joystick movement sound, the option selection sound in the carousel is distorted (I am referring to the sound emitted when you click the Fire on a carousel option such as shutdown, for example). Apart from these small problems everything else seems to run very well ..... congratulations to all those who carry on the project! |
