Can someone tell me how to copy files back and forth between the THEC64-drive8.d64 image file and a Windows/Mac machine? I have been doing BASIC programming but I find it easier in NotePad++ but I cannot figure out how to copy a file over wherein it actually works.
Thank you.

Yes, I've been trying to use DirMaster. I am able to export from the SD card, however I cannot put files on the USB disk for the Mini -- when I load the image on the C64 the files are all corrupt or full of garbage characters. Has anyone else had this problem?

Weird, so your using a sd card with adapter..?, me too..  How are you loading the d64 image, with File Loader..? or are you copying over the THEC64-drive8.d64 on the root of the USB Stick/SD Card..? You should not be using the old THEC64-drive8.d64 image file, thats from when THEC64 Mini never had a File Loader and could only load one file, try making a new d64 with Dirmaster or copy the THEC64-drive8.d64 file and rename it to whatever you want to call it so the carousel can not copy over it or replace it and then load it into Media Access, you should be able to just mount it in it once you think you have mounted it, to check to see if its there type: LOAD"$",8 and LIST then you should see it on the basic screen. and the carousel can copy over the top of THEC64-drive8.d64 image file too with a new one and delete your data on the image file, there is a post on here where it happened to someone. |

What I did was follow the advice I found in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/c64/comments/jrf48o/how_do_i_write_basic_programs_for_c64_mini_using/
Specifically using petcat to tokenize the files I wanted to copy over. I did that and it worked.

Are you using capital letters in your file names?
Try lower case.

Are you using capital letters in your file names? Try lower case. I was not. I found that if a BASIC file was all in caps and I saved it to the disk, it opened on the C64 with garbage characters. I changed the content to all lowercase and it worked.
Also I also found that you have to do SAVE"@0:filename",8 to save properly - otherwise changes won't show up (not just SAVE"filename",8)

Glad that it helped. It is a perennial problem for those of us that like to name things correctly like Asteroids vs asteroids. I always end up messing it up every now and then ;-) |

NEVER USE @0: scratch and replace - it is bugged and will destroy files. See here: sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9901&p=112615&hilit=scratch+bug#p112615I use this program as it is quick to manipulate d64 files, import, export, rename etc. d64editor.com/ |
