  1. Dirty little secrete I learned a long time ago about most vendors... next-day delivery means it will arrive the day after they finally decide to ship it. Even if that is a month after you order it.
  2. Shoulda gone with next-hour drone delivery!
  3. I think you have stepping into a whole new world with your C64 Maxi. Too bad it is taking so long to arrive...
  4. Supported files: D64 (1541,) G64 (1541 nibbled,) D81 (1581,) D82 (8250 and SFD-1001 floppy,) CRT (cartridge,) TAP and T64 (tape files,) PRG and P00 (program and program with header.)
  5. Easier to pronounce than my last name. The voices in my head speak French. I do not. Therefore, everyone is safe until I compete my Rosetta Stone courses.
  6. PRG and P00 files. The videos you watched of my Mini are a mix of T64, D64, PRG, and P00 files. I think the P00 format is deprecated in use, but still followed for compatibility. https://retrogames.biz/support/thec64/manuals/ Page 83 of the PDF, 73 of the manual: Not terrible. I think this might have been back-ported to the Mini (for my own purposes,) just have to use Classic Mode. Thanks. It does not get the use it once did. Other tools have become available which pretty much make it obsolete for most users. I still use it for my own stuff as I tend to stay stuck in my ways.
  7. On-line compiler. That is pretty cool. Should make putting stuff on your soon-to-arrive C64 Maxi pretty easy! My tidbit99.com site can produce TIFILES binaries from TidBit source. Would be cool to be able to run that through Harry's compiler and create a cartridge all in one fell swoop. I think TICodEd can do that, though, no website required.
  8. You are missing something. Driving to the haunting is nothing special. But, if while laying your dot trail you pass over one of the ghosts (roamers) moving toward the center building (ZUUL,) you will see it appear at some point in the road. You then have to move the car to touch it and hold the fire button down to activate the ghost vacuum, if you purchased one. Be careful of trying to get ghosts near the end of your dot trail. Many times the ghost will come on-screen as you are moving over to park, but you cannot get it because you cannot move the car to touch it. This might help. It is from the C64 version. Ghost Busters Instructions (Commodore 64).pdf Oh, and if you just see one of the guys on the right then go right back to the map screen, it means you were late and the slimer got away.
  9. There is a joke floating around in various forms about this. One of which is a guy who says he was banned from WalMart for getting caught in the break room. When confronted, the guy said he must work there since he has rung himself out several times. I remember somewhere some pundit said the discount we get from checking ourselves out is the continued low prices. Yeah... about that. At least my Target Debit Red Card gives me 5%, whether I check myself out (which I only do in the mirrors in household goods) or not. But, I have been watching Target service falling to typical Walmart levels over the past couple of years. That is fine. As customer service becomes a lost art, as a free market entrepreneur I see the opportunity for a new experience to arise from the ashes: a place where you can shop which has courteous and helpful employees. The kind of employees who give way when you come down the aisle; the kind who will reach up to shelves for you; the kind who do not have their cell phones in their hands when they see you; the kind who do not have personal conversations with each other while you stand there waiting to "butt in" for assistance; the kind who do no wear their pants below their ass cracks. Oh, what a glorious future we have before us!
  10. I remember this one, too. I remember seeing programs from BBSes which showed "austrospeed-1e" when listed. I found a copy somewhere at the time. ISTR it was pretty easy to use.
  11. Ah, yeah. I found a discussion about it which seems to indicate just what you proposed. I found in my disks that I also have PetSpeed 64. I was testing between the two to see which would do better for my BBS program. Since I only ever made one release and only one person ever ran it besides myself, I never really put much work into the testing and it was just compiled with Blitz!. EDIT: Looks like I might be missing a couple of disks. CSDb has a one-disk copy of it, too. I am not overly concerned.
  12. Could be. Or it could just take your BASIC program and tack on an interpreter. There is/was an open source implementation of CBM BASIC (as well as TI BASIC) for command line.
  13. Okay, this is insane: (Emphasis mine.)
  14. As the fellas in the TI sub about the P-Card. Interesting. I never knew that about Blitz! BASIC, and I have used it (actually own a copy) in the past. I have also used a couple of others, but I always liked BB.
