@gbraad That sucks on availability, it does feel really nice. It was my reward to myself for completing a couple cleanup projects in my office, heh. i haven't played with the controllers yet, but just using the standard USB and away you go. I never really use the keypad, so not something I'd ever really miss on a modern daily keyboard.
I've seen a lot of C64 demos, and 13:37 by Fairlight knocked my socks off. I was consistently hollering "duuuude!" at the effects, but it's also got great humor, a terrific art style, inside jokes, and cinematic storytelling. One of the best I've ever seen.
The #C64 demoscene is so impressive to me. They just keep pushing this machine farther and farther. This demo would have been unfathomable even ten years ago.
@ieure it's great on the artistic level but what is so new that it would be unfathomable ten years ago? I remember Comalight demos from the mid 90s doing similar stuff
The Lucasfilm's Habitat beta footage has been released finally. Check out the post on my site for links to YouTube, as well as the raw transfers over at the Internet Archive.
I tried to write a #floppy for my #C64 using my #XUM1541 and my 1541-II drive. Somehow, it seems to have problems halfway through.
Could this be an issue with the floppy disk itself, or the XUM1541? Happens with both my 1541-II, so they shouldn't be the issue.
Are there test programs for C64 that fully write a floppy disk?

It stops writing at 70% according to #CBMTransfer without returning an error. #fedihelp#retrocomputing#Commodore
@designfactotum Katakis, which became Denaris because of legal pressure by R-Type's Irem. After which Factor 5 made the C64 and Amiga conversions of R-Type. Good times. 💚
