Fastloader kernal for VICE
Using a vanilla kernal in x64sc is kind of annoying, since loading is slow even with warp mode (I only get 450%) and the lack of f-keys makes loading things like the X2012 gfx and music disks a chore.
So, is there a good replacement kernal with:
a decent fastloader, at least 10x, and as compatible as possible - just patching LOAD and not leaving crap in the drive afterwards
F-keys for comfortable DIR and LOAD/RUN
as few other changes as possible.
I've been using JiffyDOS but a few loaders refuse to start on it, presumably due to the patched drive rom. The F-keys are kinda shitty too. Action Replay is not an option due to the lack of autostart, but I've been considering hacking TFR to perform a KILL before RUN... Before I go hacking it though, anything out there that does what I want already?

EXOS. i would still use AR though, except for a couple of failing autostarts (wth? when did you last need this? =P) its probably more compatible than any patched kernal :=) |

Is there an AR hack that removes the annoying startup menu? |

Hold down CBM key (CTRL on PC) while reset. (e.g. CTRL+ALT+R) |

for autostarting just use -keybuf to press f7 or f3 or whatever you want :) (or patch the CBM check in the startup screen, should be easy enough) |

Hacked exos a bit to restore sane colors etc, might be what I was looking for. F-keys will need adjusting but it's almost there.
AR/TFR hacking will have to wait. Thanks! |

TFR should work just fine with autostarting btw, also with virtual drive enabled etc |

Quoting Groepazfor autostarting just use -keybuf to press f7 or f3 or whatever you want :)
How should function keys (and other special keys) be encoded into the -keybuf string?

Quoting Groepaz"XY" (hex, petsci)
Thanks, but there seems to be a problem with AR6:
$ x64 -keybuf "\88"
This throws me directly into the freezer, for some reason. I was expecting the fastloader (F7) to be activated. Using "\87" (F5) to go directly to Utilities works fine.

mmmh this used to work for me.... not sure what exactly i did, maybe just "press" some other key (eg space) once or twice first ? :) |
