C64 initialize drive how to#

drive recognizes the standard CBM disk commands to open, read. Likely a shortcut or copy paste from an example, but I'm hoping someone will pick up on this part and explain in more detail my solution was a bit of a hack. I just purchased a Commodore 1581 disk drive for my C64.

It was driving me nuts because I couldn't figure out if that was intentional, or how to shut off any sound without residual effects! I turned off a note, but something else was still playing, then I would turn off something else, but it would start fade to silence. Copy a file on the same diskette I Initialize the disk drive. 20: Initialize error, the hard drive does not have a valid file system. 25 disk images (1541 images for the Commodore 64), sometimes also called D41.

The voice is initialized to fade to silence when turned off, but over 24s. No possibility to run whole disk games - C64 files cannot be mapped as a drive. One oddity I didn't explain in the video is how one of the voices is initialized. That was fun as I had never done this before рџ„. I also had to learn how to program the SID chip via BASIC, so I could understand what all those POKE statements were doing.

It was a bit of both - mostly syntax errors! (thats the disk drive, the Basic language, the Character Set and the main system 'Kernal') You can probably find these online somewhere. This project was a good learning experience for me too! I had to figure out if the problems I had with the program were things I introduced via translation, or issues with how the program was written.
