CCS64 Forum

21 years later ... Actually, I have now finally added a menu choice named "Eject Cartridge" in the latest version of CCS64, i.e., CCS64 V4.0.

CCS64 V4.0 has been released. The following bug-fixes/enhancements have been made:

- FIX: Rewritten code for DirectX rendering.

- FIX: Improved compatibility with some demos.

- ADD: Increased cartridge support, now including EasyFlash.

- ADD: Reverse playback option. Improved time-travel ...

Sorry for the problems!

The executables in both the zip- and the install-archive are now (as of May 5th) updated to work as expected with the joystick settings. No version changes this time.

The latest install-package actually do add file associations of .d64 and .t64, it seems that IE8 had ...

Oops, this seems like a quite weird problem. Currently, I really have no precise idea of what is causing it. Surely, I will investige it further in the code, but as I can not repeat the problem on my computer I can not promise a fast solution.

Have you tried changing the Video (Alt+V) Update Mode ...

Updates since Beta 1.2:

* Fixed the wrong name handling when sub-loading within a .T64-file.

* The default palette setting of color 15 (i.e. light grey) is now darker, to make it visible on white background.

* If windowed mode is unavailable under Direct3D , a subsequent try to use DirectDraw is ...

I have tested to turned off hardware acceleration (set to NONE) on my machine, and then all possible DirectX calls failed. So, I guess that was the problem - Hardware acceleration has to be turned on in order to get CCS64 to work in windowed mode!

By the way, if you use the latest CCS.EXE, you can ...

This is a very strange problem. I have an ASUS V9180 - GeForce 4 MX 440 AGP graphics card, and I have no problem whatsoever. I have tried with changing the screen resolution, 16 or 32 bits, on Windows XP pro as well as Windows 98 FE - no problems.

So as we all have DirectX 9 and the same graphics ...

Updates since beta 1.1:

* Now it should be possible to multiplay all kind of game-images, including cartridges (.CRT) and subparts of .T64/.D64 files.

* The CCS64 application is now more friendly towards other application, as it no longer uses more CPU power than necessary.

* It now uses DirectX ...

:idea: I think I just found out what might be the problem why some people can not start CCS64 V3.0 in Windowed-mode on non-WinXP systems.

In Windows XP you can only select color depths of at least 65536 colors (i.e. 16 bits). But in Windows 98/ME/2000 you can select 256 colors or less.

It seems ...

Thanks for informing me. It is now fixed in the un-official CCS.EXE . I just forgot about that someone would like to run more programs than the C64 emulator at the same time .

I just found some small misstakes in the input message handling, and have hopefully corrected them in the new beta.

Please test the Multiplay feature :!: . So far, it seems I am the only one to test it, haven't seen anybody else on kaillera. I thought the multiplay feature was something really ...

Thanks for testing!

Now I at least know where it crashed, not necessarily why. It crashed because d3d->CreateDevice(...) failed. It might be because when you have voodo gfx gard, you have several gfx adapters (according to DirectX) and some doesn't work with windowed mode.

I have now updated the ...

Unfortunately I haven't been able to track where in the execution of CCS64 that the program crashes (all debug info is removed in the released executable). Therefore I have created a debug version of CCS64 V3.0 , located at http://www.ccs64.com/TestWin.exe .

If you have problems, please test with ...

I have made available a zip-archive of all the necessary files for V3.0 . Hopefully this will help.

I have now added support for the Kaillera client v0.9 in CCS64 V3.0 Beta. The feature is not by any means finished :) , but it should be possible to multiplay .D64,.T64 and .PRG files with at least two players.

* Except from the latest CCS.EXE binary, you also need to download the Kaillera client ...
