Readysoft 64 emulator ipf

[ransom1122]

It'll be nice if someone makes a google doc of all working games with this emulator wither version1 Or 2

[kremiso]

agree
also the 16 pages manual would be great to find, if some other things can be enabled/disabled
how to reset when the game is running etc

i finally found a bit ago a working cracked copy (also the c64 files are loading) browsing into the old Tosec sets, and is indeed an Unit A crack;
it was wrongly called 64 emulator II, but in reality is the first version

easy to spot, the menu is different between the two emulator versions :

V1



V2

Is there a working crack of V2.0 avail? The unit A one hangs when I try to load a program or do a directory. Tried to write the IPF to disk and it doesn't work.

Hi guys, happy new year!
It's a very pleasant surprise to see that there's still interest in such old and obsolete pieces of software for the Amiga. i thought I was the only one remaining in the whole universe interested in such things...
Well, a bit off-topic (not absolutely), but have a look here:

There is a good selection of emulators running on plain 68000 OCS/ECS Amigas, a damn lot of work has been put in there by me, in order to collect, fix and correctly arrange all these...
There's also plenty of C64 software (independent .PRGs but some multiloading stuff, as well), even a little lot of ZX Spectrum BASIC game packs compiled by me, that can run on Whitby's Spectrum Simulator for the real C64.
All of them run well on A64, so here's a good chance for you to make any further tests and see if these can also run on Readysoft's 64 and 64 II emulators!
I am sure you'll LOVE it, you can consider it as a new year's gift from the greek Santa!!!


Read ALL instructions very carefully, they might seem a bit complex at first but definitely worth your time, as little details ignored might give non-properly working results. Everything included has been tested and IS working!
Start directly from withing the main unzipped folder, I have made the whole collection completely portable/installation independent!

N.B. that I have set WinUAE speed to maximum for better performance on windoze emulated Amiga, but they will all surely work on real 68000 hardware, of course considerably slower...

Enjoy!!!

not yet
doing some modifies, i have reached to make start the c64 files loading, but im not sure if was a 100% crack; compared to the v1, many games make crash in guru the Amiga at the end of loading

or its due to my changes

---
about the ipf i dont know
just note that the v1 has a triple mandatory requirement : 68000 - ocs- kickstart1.2/1.3
it doesnt work on anything better than this

the v2 loads also with 68010, but also requires ocs and kick1.x

EDIT i have an Action Replay freeze, that seems to work on ecs and 1MB Chip

@commie1974 thanks for your post
ah ah, yes for me Commodore on Commodore is much more higher than emulation on emulation atm

You're welcome! It's my pleasure to know that there are also other people around the world who can appreciate this work of mine!

I remember seeing this Emulator in the Amiga magazines in the late 80's! I was pretty excited, then later I got a hold of a copy to try and played around with it on my Amiga 1000! Was pretty dissapointed in the performance, but also amazed that it was running. It seemed like it was running like 50% speed, and some games did not run too well, and others ran okay. Years later I discovered MagiC64 Emulator and been using it on my 060 and Vampire Amigas at 100% speed and excellent compatibility! But looking back at the Readysoft The 64 Emulator 2, it brings back some very fond memories! Would be nice to get a proper working V2.0 ADF to use on real hardware, the IPS does seem to work okay on WinUAE (and yes enabling the speed up works well!)

Tried a few times to download and the download dies with Interrupted server problem error

I managed to grab the file and it's in my upload folder on the file server now.

Dunno what the problem is, it's being downloaded fine by me, every time I try...
Well, get it from here, instead:

bring back memories indeed
at the end of the v2 pdf manual posted by PascalDe73 (the ftp link) there is also the disk photo and the buy receipt

so someone here around could still have the original

Uploaded The 64 Emulator 2 raw stream to the zone. 5 revs. In WinUAE it seems to stop @ T15.

hi Snoopy, thanks for the upload !

this worth a check from Denis and Abaddon too

the files structure of the two versions seems quite similar, atm im wondering if the second version boot file could be injected into the first original working disk, to somewhat 'reconstruct' also a full working v2

Abaddon has uploaded an Unofficial IPF of The 64 Emulator 2 to the zone.

Edit: Played Montezuma. Loaded in 5 secs, glitch free visuals but no audio.

Have you tried your disk on real amiga? Maybe problem is with emulation not with track 20?

I have an A1000 in storage which is the only OCS machine here. It's great that Abaddon could do an IPF though.


Edit: Now with new enthusiasim, I pulled the A1000 out of it's box and tried the 64 Emulator 2 disk which I recently aquired.
