C64SD V3.0 Princess - The first SD2IEC with tap file support! [Hardware Review]

[Neil79]

From the experience of c64sd v2 INFINITY (by Manosoft) and ITS module (infinity tape sd2iec) (by Hawui1/Manosoft), this device emulates both floppy disc and real player datasette's! Today thanks to Manosoft they have sent us their latest brand new product for review, so let's take a look!

Neil did you try the onefiled versions of Donkey Kong Junior
from [CSDb] ?

[Neil79]

Nope, I will try that tonight and report back

Thanks for the heads up Retroplay

[Retroplay]

I hope you get it to work, it's the best DK Jr by far, even better than the original arcade game imo.

[Neil79]

Same

I've also got a few demos to try as well as requested by a few readers

Excellent review there Neil.

For tape fans it sounds like the most reliable way of loading c64 tape games, ever!!!

[Neil79]

It is indeed and thank you for your feedback hansel as always

This one works perfectly! As such I've updated the article with your mention

Thanks again

[Retroplay]

Np.

TND has made a cool tapeloader version of DK Jr.

Looks very bizzarre, but also very interesting. Nice device.

It's looking nice, but you can start thinking about an 1541 Ultimate II, if it's getting more pricey with every SD2IEC alternative.

The 1541 Ultimate II will bring this to your C64: [ Show youtube player ]

Cpt Hindsight I've tried contacting the developer of the 1541 Ultimate II for a review but so far I've been ignored for the last two months.

Have you tried contacting Gideon on Fakebook ?

I unfortunately had to sign up there only because he seems more active there than on the 1541U website forums.

The 1541U-II might be expensive but it's worth every penny.

[Neil79]

Brill, thanks

[Neil79]

Oh...What's this at my door?

I always got fast answers by him via his contact mail address at his site: http://www.1541ultimate.net/content/index.php
Atm, I'm just using my C128 D and my C64 C is collecting dust (thanks to the 8580) and it seems to be some kind of hit and miss, if the 1541U II is working with a Commodore 128 or not, so I didn't dare to buy one myself yet.

[Neil79]

Tried that email address, for a good month or so, nothing. Perhaps he thinks it's spam
