The Mini's source was requested by swingflip by sending a £5 note and it was delivered on a CD-ROM.
If you do request the source you could add that they are obliged to provide the full actual source for the uboot and kernel and the associated configuration files that should enable you to compile and reproduce the system. Specifically for uboot and kernel this should include the actual nand driver used. I'm saying this because for the source they provided for the Mini the uboot does not compile (due to nand driver parts missing) and the nand driver module included with the kernel source is provably different and incompatible from the one they actually use on the Mini.

All 3 Carousels(THEC64 Mini/Maxi and THE VIC 20) all come from the same source code, you can see that when you look at each of there the64 file in HxD they all point to the same folder inside it, you see the folder name that the source code is kept in.
The Carousel v1.3.2 build folder...
THE VIC 20 (The Carousel v1.4.1 build folder...
There all based on the same build.

Hi, just a quick update:
I emailed RGL last week (through their web form) to query whether their source code package includes the source code for the nand driver, kernel, and uboot. So far, I've not had a response.
I've also posted a cheque and covering letter to them today requesting the source code. In my letter, I specifically asked them to include the source code for the nand driver, kernel, and uboot.
I'll let you know once I get a response.

Hi! i don't have a lot of knowledge on this subject, so I figure I might as well just ask here.
I recently managed to backup the pre-installed games from Retro-bits Super Retro-Cade using USB to UART. Didn't even have to solder anything. Just plugged the male jumper cables into the correct holes on the board.
Is it possible to do something similar with the C64 Mini? Do I need to install the PCUAE for it to work, or will this work on a stock TheC64 Mini as well? If I have a correctly formatted USB stick and connected the Mini with PuTTY, what would the correct commands be to backup everything to my USB?
