I've got some good power supplies, that's no problem. I guess I was just unlucky with USB Drives, and SD cards, and USB SD adapters... I eventually found an old 16GB drive that seems to work. One nice thing is this drive has an activity light. V3.7.5 has been rebooting fine now. I did try the new 4.0.0 and it doesn't boot at all, after the blue screen setup, not even on this drive. It just boots to internal carousel.

Have you updated the PCUAE Autoboot script, it needs updating on v4.0.0...?

I just installed PCUAE on my The Vic20 and am having some issues.
The install itself all seemed to go just fine and it rebooted into the carousel etc. I then attempted to change the mode and my first attempt was vice mode, with the C128. Again this semed to work as expected, the autoboot looked like it installed ok etc, but this time when it rebooted, I was stuck on the Retro games splash screen (see attached below) with the music playing, but it did not actually boot, it just stayed on that screen. I left it for 5-10 minutes just in case but no change, I then unplugged it, left it a while and tried again, same result. If I remove the USB drive, it boots just fine into carousel.
Any ideas??

I just tried PCUAE on THEC64 NTSC and THEC64 and its loads VICE Mode and C128 Mode OK, only problem is when you Quick restart VICE Mode then it loads VICE Mode but does not show C128 on the screen you get a black screen so have to restart the machine for it to load C128 Mode, I need to fix that.
I just released a update PCUAE v4.0.0-1.

Is getting stuck on the retro games boot screen a known issue?

I installed 4.0.0 again to make sure I installed the autoboot and it still did not boot after reboot. Also This stops 3.7.5 USB from booting. When internal carousel boots with any dive plugged it, that dive is also unreadable if you select it.

I fixed it... Scripts were clashing so killed tee to quicky and then tried to load the carousel but it thought it was a argent(THEC64 Mini) so remove disp device that THEC64 needs to run the carousel so then the carousel for THEC64 could not load so end up having a blank screen or just the logo on the screen.

Hi Nick, I will include a scraper in the application I'm currently coding, the PCU game manager. I have some code that will scrape game information and cover/screenshots from www.mobygames.com/. Still some work to do for it, but it looks promising. Do you know of any other site that contains good game information? Here's a screenshot of the PCU Game Manager WIP: View AttachmentLike how you added a preview of what the games will look like in the carousel, good idea... |

Hello,
I would like to know how to use the extra disks in pcuae manager, I have added a game and even seen 2 games that use it, but I don't know how it works to change the disk in the game when it asks for it. Is there a joystick shortcut for changing disks?

Is there a joystick shortcut for changing disks? Hi, you have to use the "Media access" in classic mode to be able to run games that have multiple disks. In the manager you can export the game to file loader, and put it on a USB disk. The extra disks will be exported so that you can select them in "Media access" when the game asks you to swap disk. So you can't do it from the carousel mode, accessing the USB disk from there will give you a simpler file loader UI where there is no support for mounting disks to the drive. See github.com/lantzelot-swe/PCUGameManager/wiki/extra-disksand github.com/lantzelot-swe/PCUGameManager/wiki/Exporting-games#export-to-file-loader |

thank you for your reply.
I don't understand why PCUAE manager has extra disk if you can't change the disk via the carousel.
Sorry, I'm new, I'm having trouble understanding.

thank you for your reply. I don't understand why PCUAE manager has extra disk if you can't change the disk via the carousel. Sorry, I'm new, I'm having trouble understanding. The Carousel only supports single disk games. It always has. It was never designed to do more or be modified as PCUAE has. The Media access mode has more support, It is a more complete C64 emulator. You have to use Media Access and load games from there for Multi Disc support or possibly use PCUAE and Vice Mode. PCUAE Manager supports the selection of Multiple disks so they can be exported from a large collection of games as detailed above. Select your multi disc games and export them to USB then try Media Access mode |

Media access is part of the TheC64 / TheVic20 full emulator that is available in Classic mode. The Carousel does not enable this. Read The ManualRead Page 40 and 41 then page 33-37 Note at the bottom of the image on page 35 - Media Access This should resolve your problems. |
