C64: C64OS - A new OS for the C64

[@exidy-yt]

whoa! Looks to kick the snot out of GEOS, which is what I was looking at before deciding to sell and make the leap to 16-bit and the Amiga 500. Very cool looking OS, and especially that Commodore logo! I used a copper list in my startup.sequence for my heavily customized Workbench (it also played a digital sample of "A Pirate's Life For Me! upon bootup.) But I never imagined the C64 with such a cool GUI. Great job!

[@VisiV]

Wow, that's just stunning, really. Reminds me a lot of the feel of my old Amiga1000.

[@BillyEilish]

This is great stuff, not sure how I ended up here but I wish others would find this video also!

[@adymode]

This looks great! It seems more mature than the "Teos" project, but 64jcl's series is a gem to watch.

[@mrkitty777]

TempleOS is a lot more steep learning curve though

[@adymode]

@@mrkitty777 TempleOS ?? ... what a curious thing !

[@mrkitty777]

@adymode first time you heard of Terry Davis and TempleOS? It's programmed as a 64 bit C64.

[@adymode]

@@mrkitty777 Yes, I've probably scrolled past it but not looked into it before. A very unusual story and creation, brilliant but tragic. 'TeOS' is a much smaller flight of programming fancy, a very pleasant little series made by channel 64jcl

[@mrkitty777]

@adymode Watched TeOS for C64, it only proves that technology could have been much more advanced decades ago. Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson during the 1998 Microsoft Lawsuit already judged how tech industry was set back by a single business man. The technology you see today existed 20 years ago already but it was kept back. Due to business history.

[@Microbex]

That is pretty cute. Love it.

[@brucetungsten5714]

Very impressive!

[@glennsprigg2378]

The best was 'GEOS', (Graphical Environment Operating System) for the C64 . Like a pre-cursor to 'Windows' !!

[@idreamtin8bits]

I know, I have GEOS as well on my C128. Works best on a C128 80 column mode. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2rLgmObetmjm6s

[@glennsprigg2378]

@@idreamtin8bits Yes, I can see the greatly improved Resolution, (and more memory to work with!). It's so much like Windows, I wonder if M.S. stole some of the ideas!! 😎

[@suprememasteroftheuniverse]

Existed a race for operating systems. Everyone was doing it.

[@RazzFazz-Race]

But Geos was desperately slow. I Tried it, not useful, deleted.

[@idreamtin8bits]

@@RazzFazz-Race try it again 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2rLgmObetmjm6s It is actually very useful on a C128 in 80 column mode together with a REU or CMD harddisk or a 1581 drive.

unbelievable

[@kasperchristensen8416]

Impressive. Very nice. ... Let's see Paul Allen's C64 OS.

[@why_i_game]

This looks amazing, much nicer than Contiki.

[@nurunde]

Impressive

[@stevec.8411]

what is the name of the sid (music) at the end of the vid? thx.

[@idreamtin8bits]

Sorry for the late reply, but that is this song: Sweet by Johannes Bjerregaard. deepsid.chordian.net/?file=/MUSICIANS/B/Bjerregaard_Johannes/Sweet.sid

[@madyogi6164]

Just out of curiosity (never dived deep into the subject) - what happened to GeOS? Forgotten because of licensing?

[@idreamtin8bits]

Not forgotten, still use it on my C128 😉See other videos on this channel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_(8-bit_operating_system) It even has very recently been ported to Atari 8 bits. www.vintageisthenewold.com/geos-has-been-ported-to-the-atari-8-bit

[@kvolikkorozkov]

5:52 a song for a timer? fuck yeah

[@edmundjohan9713]

Great! Does it works on The C64 maxi?

[@idreamtin8bits]

Yes, kzbin.info/www/bejne/l53TeWBpgaprorc

[@varganyamuvek]

This is really good, I just don't like that every OS is a Windows or Mac clone

[@fabricio4794]

I dreamt on 8 bits in 1983 but know i Dream on 720p

[@arduinopl7460]

Will it support Tapecart SD ?? Will be nice to have in system use drive with 10kb/s transfer for eg. .art files preview

[@idreamtin8bits]

No clue, as I do not know tapecart. At least it is not formally supported afaik. But would be surprised if it does as C64OS operates via SD2IEC DOS commands, would be surprised if tapecart would support that. More hope is in supporting solutions that emulate harddisk access. IDE64 apparently already works and is very fast.

[@dr.ignacioglez.9677]

I LOVE C64 👍🥂🎩

[@AxelWerner]

This is with some ram expansion, right?

[@idreamtin8bits]

Think it can run without, but in this video the 16 megabyte REU emulation of the Ultimate64 was enabled, yes.

[@Prodatron]

Sad, that TEOS isn't alive currently. It is using the textmode as well but its design is so much better and much more clever than this. And it provides real multitasking.

[@idreamtin8bits]

Would love to see TEOS as well to be able to compare.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep

[@madyogi6164]

Loading times are killing it but hey! It's there... And wow, Microsoft - learn from that or rebrand to "Giga"... :D

[@luchiosaints771]

This is good one to revive the oldest motherboards 😂😂😂

[@mathiasdreke180]

Is it just a GUI or a real OS?

[@idreamtin8bits]

Depends on definitions of course. It is not replacing the standard C64 kernal, so in that sense it is an UI (not a GUI as it is using text mode), but it also adds disk and memory management layers that could be seen as more an OS than an UI. I would call it an OS, but not an OS that is replacing the low level C64 OS.

[@PassionataDance]

time to jack up the Resolution and Video and you will have a Windows Alternative in the works.

[@Coffeebreak6329]

No sound

[@idreamtin8bits]

There is sound from 5:52. But the rest of the OS indeed has no sound. And for now I prefer not to put background music, just show the plain C64 output.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

I liked GEMS

[@idreamtin8bits]

GEOS you mean? Me too 😉 C128: Developing for GEOS128 - GeoUTools - part 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2jdinp7ibGkg7c
