MMC Retro Replay - writing to SD card?
Maybe not the correct place to post this but it doesn't seem to fit anywhere else :)
Is anyone aware of a plugin for RR that enables writing to a mounted .d64 file or alternatively, is it possible to use the Action Replay-type features to dump/load the entire memory to a file on the SD card?

Actually that wasn't very clear.
What I meant was, I tried building netdrive on my Mac but there were plenty of errors. I guess someone could port the code to work on unix platforms - someone did it for codenet (which builds fine on Mac).

Quote: on real hardware you can currently do it with the (much more expensive) 1541u.
And with the (compared to 1541u much cheaper) C64TPC. |

yeah well, or rr-net + netdrive or sdiec or iecata or or or...any of the other rather incompatible things that only work with stuff using kernal loading :)

Damn, that looks ace but seems no client for Mac/unix/etc. :(
I've emailed the guy to ask if one is available.

Neil: when you get a 1541u, you dont need: 1) disks, 2) any other cartridge, 3) your mmc money are wasted and you can sell the crap :D |

I hear you Jan :)
Actually, in the MMC/Replay's defence, it is ace for cross-platform coding. Unbelievably easy to compile with 64TASS and throw the binaries at the C64 wirelessly over the network. It's so easy and simple it borders on being silly :)

Well, after a session of head-scratching last night, between us me and Geir managed to make it work.
I'm using now using netdrive on an XP virtual machine via Parallels Desktop (until I can get someone to build a unix/OSX version of netdrive) using the UNDOCUMENTED "-W" (write) mode. Am now able to load and save SDI song files over wireless network to my MacBook running XP in a virtual machine, LOL.
Only problem I've got at the moment is that netdrive seems to ignore the specified path and reads/writes files from the folder where i run netdrive from. Anyone know why?
I've got someone looking at porting netdrive over to unix so I'll share it on here if it's successful.
Thanks for everyone's input and thanks to Geir for his endless patience and help.
After all this, I bet my 1541U turns up tomorrow LOL

except if you want actually properly working ethernet, or maybe a correctly working freezer in AR/RR ... then 1541u isnt quite there =P

get "diskimagery64" ... its a nice frontend to warpcopy that works in *nix (and the developer is even a osx guy)...and it can work as a server for netdrive too.

I haven't had 1 single problem with ethernet since firmware 1.6. Am I just lucky? Are not each 1541U version born equal?
I have a version 2. I use ethernet a lot too, mainly codenet, either firing executables over or using warpcopy to send/receive .d64's.
I haven't had any freezer issues since the custom 1.66 firmware (touch wood), but I s'pose more testing is needed on that score.
The only thing missing for me is a built in sid player.
Anywayz.. I digress.. |

try using codenet and upload a file to $d000 -> booom crash (should work fine, as it does on RR/MMCR)
it works with warpcopy and some other programs, thats true.

i am talking about AR freezer.... start AR, hit f3 ("normal reset"), press freeze, then f3 again ("restart") -> booom crash (should work just fine, as it does on real AR and RR/MMCR too)
