honx · 21 July 2021, 13:21

today i got my THEC64. now i wanted to download firmware upgrade and user manual at https://retrogames.biz/thec64/support/manuals-thec64. unfortunately THEC64 user manual download doesn't work. i only get a "file-not-found.txt" file.

only THEC64 quick guide download works.
where else can i download that user manual? or does anyone have this pdf and can zone it for me? thanks in advance!

Enjoy your C64 maxi.

There is good CTR collection with 1001 game turned into CRT for easy loading / starting - works great with C64 - One Load64.

thanks! just started downloading. how exactly do i use this? extract to usb stick and plug that usb stick to thec64?

Anubis · 21 July 2021, 14:32

Yes, as simple as that. TO make it easier to browse, you can separate them into folders with letters.

This is the same way you will play any games on C64 that is not included in wheel.

download finished, now i need to find an empty usb stick somewhere.

and i need to update the firmware to latest version first...

Good luck. It is nice system. It would be nice to have FPGA Amiga like that, but for now MiSTer FPGA is enough. (and more then that

)

What a stupid name. Is the capitals and lack of space necessary? And it's not like there were other C64s around at all. I bet they have the arrogance to say their product is official and should be the only one on the market, too.

just a question: does that usb stick needed for firmware-upgrade really have to be empty?
i don't have any empty usb stick or at least any stick containing data i could delete easily.

Been a while since I upgraded mine, but I *think* I was able to use the same stick as all my external .d64 images. I.e., it doesn’t need to be empty.

Anubis · 24 July 2021, 19:24

I had bunch of stuff on USB stick and did not create any issues as far as I remember. I had bunch of C64 games on USB in all formats, in directories.

Is THEC64 basically the same internal gubbins as the C64 Mini, or totally different? I can see that THEC64 has a full size keyboard.

Matt_H · 24 July 2021, 22:18

It’s basically the same. I think there are some minor differences in terms of included games. With the keyboard it’s almost identical to a real C64 (minus the original ports, plus HDMI and USB). I thought I wanted a full C64 replica but now I’m having trouble finding space for it!
