  • retropi VICE c64 EMU system roms

    From Bbsing.Bbs@80:774/40 to All on Wed Aug 19 12:09:45 2020
    Hi All,

    Does anyone know where to find c64 system roms like JiffyDOS, and UltimateDOS?

    I'm trying to add these into a VICE emu or a 1541-Ultimate-ii+.

    as far as I know JiffyDOS comes with a piece of hardware.

    The JiffyDOS roms are copyright and are sold by Jim Brain, but I am sure with the right Googling you can find them quite easily..

    Thanks Bucko.

    I did find something. I'm still trying to figure out how to get my 1541-Uii+ to
    understand it. Running through the menues F2 most
    roms are already configured. there is an option for custom.rom but ... no clue how to tell the 1541-Uii+ where the rom is for the
    specific option I'm trying to customize.

    I'm going to keep poking around. There is a guy on cottonwoodbbs that has a clue. He is pretty busy right now but ... if he has
    time I might get a jump start from him.

    Goal right now is to implement the 1581 rom and JiffyDOS. ... Just have to play
    with those two things.

    That 1581 will get me ... well a lot of disk space for the c64, .. or c128.

    Have a good one! :)

    Wish I could help with the Uii+, the menu's are the close to the U64 to add
    in roms on the U64 I just toss them on my USB Stick (Since it is inside my
    case I FTP into it) and just press enter on the ROM and it asks where I want
    to put it.

    Good luck I am sure you will get things going.. If you want really big
    drives, look at the FD4000 emulation in Vice, you get I think 3 megs on each disk, I am in the process of partitioning them on my Vice BBS into 1581 partitions so I can break up the directories. I had an issue the other day of my BBS not allowing me ot post a message because I ran out of Directory space on my subboard disk, so I am going to break down each disk..

    I know you mentioned in another post you were interested in Image BBS, go to 8bitboyz.com I think that is is, there is a file I put together called BBS on
    a Stick. Unzip it to a blank USB stick, doesn't have to be a large stick a
    gig is more then enough room. (this is for Windows, I am considering a Docker type Linux setup for the BBS on a Stick V3.0 version) then run the runme.bat and it will boot Image up to a config window and you answer a few questions, and it will boot to a waiting for call screen which will be a full fledged
    BBS to run if you wanted. Let me know if you check it out and what you think
    of it. It will also be updated by the end of the year with the latest ML to
    get it up to 38.4k..
