There is a january update if you didnt get it. Also a new game was added. Farming simulator.

I dont see a swap disk option.

The c64 mini and full size have a new update that Also comes with a new game. Farming simulator. for the mini https://retrogames.biz/thec64-mini/support/upgrade-thec64-mini for the full size https://retrogames.biz/support/upgrade-thec64

I have done a ton of them and i removed everything but if i recall these need to be removed as well

If you get a controller board from @byteknight ‘s ultimate flashback interface boards you wont have to hack the original board at all.

Also carlsson, to answer your question, a pal mini plays the usb games as pal unless you have a config stating to run games as ntsc and vice versa with ntsc mini. Now even though on an ntsc mini i say the games are pal in a pal machine, even on the usb, they dont run at the correct speed. A pal game is too fast. Not as fast as playing a pal game with it set as ntsc but faster than it is supposed to in a pal machine. This is a problem with the vice software that is on the mini. and it is slower playing ntsc game on pal system even telling it the machine is ntsc.

So there is a config file for every game that is on thec64 mini. A .tsg file. In that file for both jumpman games it is set to pal. I changed mine to ntsc. Why the games are set as pal on an ntsc c64 machine is beyond me. And no in the case of thec64 mini pal and ntsc settings are different. Hdmi is irrelevant to this issue. And even telling it the game is pal in a pal machine it doesnt run it at the correct speed. This is an error they will have fixed in the full size thec64 and hopefully will have an update for the mini to fix it as well.

Let me make a correction. No. Same rom. However, they have it running as pal screenshot and the config file is set as pal. They both have to be replaced to run it in ntsc correctly

Yeah not sure why they did that. I will be replacing mine with ntsc version.

Both jumpman and jumpman junior on thec64 mini are pal rom versions of the games.

The internal config for the game could be wrong too. I will look at the game and config when i am home.

I would realy love to have all of thec64 full size software in the mini, and then a full size keyboard as just a keyboard with usb ports on the side. If by sheer luck the full size board fits in the mini and the keyboard is usb, i just might shove the board into the mini, and add a usb hub to the keyboard. I dont want to be tied down to my tv which sits on my dresser because of the hdmi and power cord. Otherwise i will need to buy another school desk like i use for my apple iie raspberry pi now and just use a monitor.

The game list isnt the same.

Still getting licensing rights for the games.

Sucks that there isnt a us release date yet.

If you need to make the game use joystick port 1 on a game add _J1 to the end of the rom name. Example change 1943.d64 to 1943_J1.d64 Make sure the J is a capital J.

I probably should put my arms up and say iduddits every time I add a new lunchbox to my collection. ?

?? Hilarious. I love it. So curious, did you test the keys on the the keyboard with the keyrah external switch in both directions?

? Yes definitely a +1. Was a great reference to a great movie. I use to put my arms up and say i duddits all the time when i accomplished something i was working on.

The keyrah has solder holes for the usb so you can solder the usb wire internally so you dont have to have the usb cable sticking out and plugging back into the keyrah. Also did you set your keyboard in the mini to uk to have keys all correctly located?

There is a guy on here by the user name intvnut. He makes intellivision cartridge cases that are like Activision style. You might be able to use his shells. If i recall correctly it is hard to tell between c64 and intellivision activision games and you could mess your system up by plugging the wrong one in. You had to count the pins on the board as the carts didnt specify which systems they were for on the labels.

In the settings on the mini you need to set the keyboard to uk for it to be mapped properly.

Im not sure what happened to my reply to this. The price drop most likely has to do with not only getting rid of old stock but making some more money to make the c64 full size. Sales wont be hard. In Europe/uk and australia pre orders are flying off the shelves. I follow several facebook groups for the mini and full size and there is no shortage of buyers. It has an option to choose 50khz and 60khz so they are universal. I will buy one here in the us as soon as possible.

Look in the full size c64 thread. I posted on what to install in linux so you could get the guid and id. Then you could add your ps2 adapter to the gamecontrollerdb.txt.

Cant edit last post. Its an sdl2 gamecontrollerdb.txt. I posted in the c64 full size thread on how to install the stuff to be able to get the linux guid and id.
