G64 file format
Hi !
Is there some kind of app that I can use to transfer original disks to my PC in a .G64 format AND works with Windows XP? I know CBM4Win but it only transfers non protected disks and it does not support .G64 format which is the best for protected disks. Thank you |

For transferring protected disks you need a parallel cable and use nmib.

Thanks Mason for this really fast reply! I use a device bought on ebay that plugs in the LPT1 port of my PC. A standard C64 cable is plugged from my 1541 to the device plugged in the PC. I'll try nmib. |

if you want the latest software use nibtools http://c64preservation.com/files/nibtools/ (mnib is no longer developed i think) |

Exactly what I was searching for Assidius (Win32 versions). I have to test now . Tanx

Sadly it does not work for me. It sees a 1541 drive, device 0 but returns a "Driver error,00,00" ?? |

Peter is still producing the cables for parallel
transers. I just received one from him last month!!
Ask him for your needs and he will let you know
what to do.
I paied 27USD for my cable and I need to solder the
thing to my 1541, but it seems easy though!

I looks simple, but it turned out harder than I thought :)
Soldering to the pins of the IC in the drive is quite a bitch... |
