Possible to add a Hard Drive in CCS64 or Winvice?

Kitty · 18 November 2009, 13:52

Been playing with these two emulators, then I wondered to myself is it possible to add
a virtual hard drive within these emulators and run D64 images from it or even Geos?

Retro-Nerd · 18 November 2009, 13:57

WinVice should work with virtual hd drives. But you can't start D64 images from hd. You need IDE64 patched game versions.

Any Idea how to setup said hd? I can't find any tuts for it when I googled

Retro-Nerd · 18 November 2009, 14:05

Never tried it, because i think it not worth the time. Anyway, check this:

thankyou

Click on Peripheral Settings, select tab Drive 8, select the directory for which you want to use as the virtual HDD and that's as far as I can tell you

yep realy is that simple

Kitty · 18 November 2009, 19:31

Having looked at these settings, I see what you mean by simple to add yes, but what to add?
There's an option there to add a disk image, I'm guessing this would be a hard drive image,
like WinUAE has hdf, Winvice would use ..? Is it possible to create a Hard drive image for Winvice?

Second Option is from directory. Is this just add an empty folder and it will act as a virtual hard drive?

What are P00 files?

DH · 18 November 2009, 19:36

I think you need a HDD image first Kitty, not sure if you can make one with WinVICE. Useing a directory will act as a virtual HDD, what you're going to put into it I have no idea.

P00 files, there probably full of s@#t

, I don't know.

EDIT: Have a look here http://www.viceteam.org/vice_toc.html I may be tempted to look through it all as well

My plan was to get GEOS running hopefully

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_%2...ting_system%29

TCD · 18 November 2009, 20:03

GEOS runs fine from disk

Been there, done that (on the real deal, end of the 80's)

Kitty · 18 November 2009, 20:06

GEOS runs from disk? Have you got a disk image of GEOS TCD?
The files on http://cbmfiles.com/geos/geos-2.php are as far as I can see for hard drive only.

Er... just seen that Disk 1 Side A is missing

Well, maybe it works if you insert Side B...

DH · 18 November 2009, 20:11

Well done TCD, looking through all them instruction from Kitty's link, on how to get GEOS onto disk (Floppies not HDD) seems very cumbersome indeed.

Kitty · 18 November 2009, 20:14

TCD you never fail to amaze me with your help, I guess I shall thankyou for the erm .. 200th time?

TCD · 18 November 2009, 20:15

Not so fast Kitty

Read my edit above. Still hope it works (maybe I'll try it myself now...)

Retro-Nerd · 18 November 2009, 20:17

Of course Geos runs fine from disk. It was bundled with the C64c here in Germany. In the 90s there were Georam expansions for more ram to work with. Today they use Neoram.

Kitty · 18 November 2009, 20:27

theres a seven disk version on planet emu if you scroll down a bit, havn't tried it yet though.

Retro-Nerd · 18 November 2009, 20:30

Try this version:
http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=59328

TCD · 18 November 2009, 20:31

I found these ones : http://cbmfiles.com/geos/geosfiles/GEOS64.ZIP

Will try them now (the planetemu files don't work).

Edit : Success!

Just use the GEOS64 disk
