Awesome, such a great tutorial. Something tells me I'll be playing some C64 games over the weekend! Thanks for the info.
ANOTHER VISITOR ... STAY AWHILE ...
I'm just learning about the commodore 64 emulator and testing and tweaking the files to make them work is very interesting but rewarding, thanks for the tutorial!
So pleased!
You, my friend, are doing some great work. I get to open my steam deck this x-mas and this 50+er is going to get my C64 and intelivison games up and running. May try Elden Ring as well..lol
Bless you
Airwolf theme 😎
Great video, thanks!
Heh ... lots of good stuff in there ...
Brilliant.subbed. Thank you
I gotta earn it every time! Thank you.
Oh man. Got a Steam Deck recently, and loving what I am seeing with EmuDeck so thought it'd be great to add Commodore 64 games - but this just seems like a nightmare tbh! Very informative though, thanks.
It really isn't. Just drop the files in the right spot and use the virtual / real keyboard. A lot of this video is about controller mapping. There are only two real "switches"; pal/ntsc and fast/true drive emulation. You may run into the port 1/port 2 thing - but overall .. you can play a lot while doing very little.
Wait till you see Batocera...omg I am in love...the ultimate emulation package for Steam Deck and you can boot to it on an SD card.
@@YoreHistory Colour me interested!
it'd be nice if we could download some sets of games that included keyboard map and other settings that could travel with the title so every customizing it isn't necessary. One of the best things about emulating old systems is discovery of things you did't know was out there, and if you had to open each game two or more times to set the ideal settings to play it, that creates a barrier hard to overcome except for the people who are hard core into that system and playing probably for nostalgia or in depth reasons instead of dipping in and out of games to try them.
I'm trying to figure out whether it's worht it to try c64 on a TV box running batocera. Not sure at this point but I'm glad I understand more about the d64 and crt file formats.
Someone would have to do the initial work first.... Then teach people where to put the .opt files (a barrier in itself) and the filenames would need to match of course. If retroarch allowed inline opt files? That would help.
Great video, thank you. I grew up with the C64, Amiga, and Atari ST but now just getting to grips with EmuDeck. I saw the Amiga one but do you have a video on the Atari ST? I'm struggling to get EmuDeck to work with it. I have the game ROM's and the TOS images in the correct location but although Emulation Station lists the Atari ST games if I try to start them nothing runs. TIA
Alas, I missed all the 16bit Atari stuff. Stayed with Commodore until Pentium 75/Win 95.
For Jumpman what do you need to put in characters for saving a highscore. The virtual keyboard works for number of players and speed but not for selecting/saving initials for highscore. The virtual keyboard doesn't work on that one either.
Interesting. I don't think I played it enough to actually test that. The virtual keyboard SHOULD work for any and all keyboard input... Do you have an actual keyboard you could test with?
@@Darkuni Figured it out, on Jumpman Jr. if you use the UP on the left D pad it will cycle through the initials, though i havent been able to save highscores yet. Even using an actual keyboard doesnt work for inputting initials for highscore.
@@1962underdog Yeah, you use the controller. Up/Down then fire to advance a letter. When you fill three, it enters them. I think the high scores require you set/load them during the trainer boot up section. It may not have been designed natively to hold them between sessions and the trainer somehow does it. I dunno.
I'd love to go ahead and continue, but this learning style is opposed to the one I do best at - so, before I continue (already liked) is there a list of games you can get somewhere for Atari, Commodore, and the others? Or is this like wishing you could only get the individual games you actually would play/liked back when they were new?
I'm not 100% sure I undersatnd your question. Emulators by and large play ANY game from the platform in question. If there is a Commodore 64 game you want to play? It will work. Can't speak for Atari (outside of consoles). I cannot point you to download locations or anything like that. YT is very particular about this sort of discussion - I already have a strike on my account for even showing a screenshot of a "download location", so ... I treat that with kid gloves.
The question, @@Darkuni, is most simply, where do you get the game you want to play?
@@danieleastman4925 Search google. I cannot hand out sites where copyrighted content may be stored and delivered. I can tell you that if you can find .CRT versions of the game, those tend to load faster, easier and often avoids any disk swapping (if the game has multi-disks of course). Sorry if that isn't the answer you were looking for. If you're simply looking for a "recommendation" for games you can go and google - here is my top 101 games for Commodore 64: hastebin.com/share/cuxatuxasa.vbnet
@@DarkuniI wouldn't have expected you to, just all my searches in the past lead to web-sites that play only on the browser - guess this will be saved until the hunt has desired results - Thank You!
@@danieleastman4925 include .crt or .d64 in your google search. That will help you find the images themselves!
Thanks for the guide - any tips on how to get JiffyDOS working? I have no idea where to drop the bin files
Haven't gotten around to custom drive ROMs... I'll look around...
Put them in Emulation/bios/vice .... Just got it working.
I’m having an issue where the Vice core is not loading correctly. Even if I start it without content the screen is black. Same happens if I try to load a rom. I tried having retroarch delete and redownload the core. Any ideas?
Hmmmm... Nothing comes to mind. Are you using Retroarch stand alone or via EmuDeck's install?
Any advice for the hard crash issue?
I'd love to help, but I cannot recreate the issue.
Hey, very good video. But how i can set full screen in c64 games on my Steam deck
When you say ... "full screen" what do you mean?
@@Darkuni the image does not fill the entire screen, there are black bars at the top and bottom. I mean 4:3 is smal in the middle of steam deck. For example Amiga games are a good size. I dont know how to explain better coz my english
@@cybra79 Even real commodore 64s didn't fill "the full screen". The "borders" are normal (if we're talking about the same thing. Take a look at this picture. www.marcbilodeau.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/my-commodore-64.jpg that's mostly what you should be seeing on the Deck, too.
Hi I noticed you have a sega saturn on emu deck, I can't get my games to load. Any hints would be appreciated thanks
You need the proper bios and good game rips. Positive you have both? Use Emulation Station to launch the game - then, if it fails, look at home/.emulationstation/es.log and scroll to the bottom to see "why" it failed.
@Darkuni thanks alot I'll look into it!
Instead of remapping controls to get past cracking menus, why not make a savestate at the titlescreen :) then load that state as the disk image
Sure, that would work too :D
My screen is black when I try and run an image. No clue what I’m doing wrong.
This is one of the easier emulators to get running. It doesn't really require any sort of crazy BIOS files or anything. Where are you getting the game images?
@@Darkuni I have a flash drive with a ton of images that run fine on my raspberry pi and The C64 machine.
@@toma4581 Any chance you could do a quick video? Showing me what you see?
@@Darkuni how to I add a video to the comments?
@@toma4581 Just post it somewhere? CZcams, Vimeo or the dozens of other sites? You could use something like wetransfer.com/
Getting a black screen when trying to load any game
Someone else reported that. Trying to remember what they did. What emulator is emulation station currently set for playing C64 games?
@@Darkuni From what I have read it has to do with retroarch running in vulcan and has to run in gl to work
@@robertrmdgaming4374 Let me take a quick look and make sure it still works.
@@robertrmdgaming4374 Still works here. You are using EmuDeck + Emulation Station and have ES configured to use VICE x64scAccurate?
@@Darkuni Yes. but you have to go into retroarch and change the vice core to gl for it to work
Great vid,il skip c64 😂
It is NOT for the faint of heart...
