Second, open your CBM Filebrowser D64 image by finding in in the second pane on droiD64. Save to your folder with the downloaded ROMs. In the menu, select Disk1, then D64 as ‘image type’ and “2-ROM CARTRIDGES” for the name. There was a file on a pi1541 SD card that had a D64 image with the secret sauce!įirst, create a new D64 image using droiD64: I had written something several years ago and searched my retro gaming stash in the garage for it. What is the secret program that allows us to do that?!!?!īelieve me, I’ve searched the net and came up with nothing. To get these games to run, first we have to write little programs that tell the Vic 20 (the real thing, an emulator or the Mister FPGA!) to combine both ROM images togther in memory, then do a reset. In example, we are going to create a D64 image with several 16K Cartridges. The one I recommend is DroiD64 because it’s java and can run in Windows/OSX/Linux.ĭownload & Install Vice on your computer.

Please replace “/dev/sdb” with your drive and feel free to change the name “backup_sd” to whatever suits you. sudo dd bs=4M if= /dev/sdb of=backup_sd.img So now it’s time to make a backup image of this SD card. We have confirmation from the two methods and can confidently determine that the drive is “/dev/sdb”. You will have to sort through all the drives until you find the right one, which in this case is: fdisk -l The linux command we can use to view the drives in a terminal is: sudo fdisk -l I don’t want to accidentally backup or erase the wrong drive!Īs you can see, “/dev/sdb/” is the correct drive. I use this to double check that I’m targeting the correct drive. Your distro of choice likely has something very similar to this. The first thing I usually do is bring up the “Disks” utility in Ubuntu. I’ve had a Raspberry Pi Zero W2 running as a server on solar power in my shed and decided it’s a good time to back the card up. Raspberry Pi images are a huge example of this. If you are like me, you have various projects on SD cards. Author distantdark Posted on JJCategories Uncategorized 1 Comment on Volta Wireless Update MiSTer FPGA Parts List It’s wild how sick, evil and predatory some scam companies can be. Now I’m left wondering if they will later hire a debt collection service to go after me. Yet, I see commercials for Volta Wireless. This kind of scam company should be illegal and should be held accountable for stealing people’s money. But this isn’t the case when you are dealing with a scam company that wants to string you along and has no intentions of ever canceling. You know as well as I do that any time you have ever canceled an account, it takes seconds. For over a month, I was told they were working on it. Mind you, I have used the only line of communication, which is email to beg Volta to cancel the account. Now Volta Wireless is spamming my inbox with failed payment notices. I had to change my debit card number to end the endless payments from Volta Wireless. Bad service, bad to non-existent customer service and NO WAY TO CANCEL THE ACCOUNT. I previously documented in another blog post entitled, “ Volta Wireless is a SCAM” Volta Wireless is a trap. If you want to start from concrete Kernel all time you should do next steps: This action is for one boot on concrete kernel. Select concrete kernel for boot and also memorize index of this menu line(count starts from 0) On the picture index of chosen Kernel is 2.Select “Advanced options for Ubuntu” and memorize index of this menu line(count starts from 0) On the picture index is 1.Reboot your PC with pressed Shift button for display GRUB after BIOS will start.If you have a few Kernels in your system you can set manually what Kernel version will start: So the question became, how do I force grub to boot the older kernel? I found an answer that worked for me at Ask Ubuntu. This worked and I can only assume that the new kernel is not compatible with my hardware. I was able to get into the grub menu by holding down the shift key at boot and then choose a different kernel. Recently after an update to my server, I was greeted with a “kernel panic” error.
