GeoRAM, GAMES, AND DRIVE EMULATION
Almost all the games attempt to reduce the loading time by special programs for the 1541.
At the moment not all the games can run with the SDIEC hardware, the pi1541 solution is a good replacement that increases the number of games that you can run on real hardware.
Testing games on real hardware is a time expensive work, for example, the testing of the Maniac Mansion requires a whole afternoon.
So, most of the testing is limited to Vice's GeoRAM emulation.
- GEORAM programs
This is a collection of programs that need the Geo/Neo-RAM expansion to work. Unfortunately, some of them does not work with either the GeoRAM clone or the original one. They do not work even in Vice emulator with the GeoRAM support enabled!
The games worked only with a real drive, several attempts to load the image from a 1541 emulation did not work. So, copying the diskimages to a real 1541 is required.
👍Volley for 2.D64 ( Added 29.1.2024)
If a compatible memory expansion is connected, the game can be configured to use it for replays. The gameplay is recorded in the background to allow rewinding and playback in slow motion after each round. The supported expansions are: GeoRAM, REU, SuperCPU RAM. Website👍 DRACOPY.D64 ( Added 7.1.2024)
Disk copier that can use the GeoRAM, unlike other programs it comes with a GitHub repository https://github.com/ozw1z5rd/dracopy You can read how to compile and personalize the program by reading the issue #16.👍 GEORAM SYSTEM.d64 ( Added 10.12.2023 )
Disk utility & machine code monitor for the Commodore 64. With this utility you can create a 2015 block storage device that can be used from BASIC 2.0. After the program loads and runs, it will door a warm reboot. After the reboot, issue SYS 56832 to activate the software. The built-in help can be access by typing "HELP" at the > promptGEORAM utils collection D64 image
