I used to have C64 back in the 80's with floppy drive and it was loading very, very fast comparing to tape!

[@LUNATIC75]

Your video's are helping me through the process of getting to grips with the Pi and Retropie in particular. Thanks. I haven't been an OS noob like this since the dark ages of MS DOS!

[@02LeSabre]

Been a long time fan, and after you helped me get the orange Pi prime up and running on the 4th of July, no less, I've been hooked! Finally jumped on the band wagon and downloaded RetroPi for the Raspberry Pi 3B+. Even though this video was 3 years old when I wrote this, it still came in handy. Thanks again for all that you do!

[@8BitRetroGhost]

Brilliant! Got my RetroPie up and running some serious C64 nostalgia. Thanks!

[@VelidBiH]

Great video, as always. For ol' C64 - you can go into menu >> speed settings and speed up emulation to load games faster. It's called Warp (it used to be keyboard RCtrl + W on WinVice). I am unable to check it (working), but should work from what I remember. Simple, select game, speed up emulator, wait for game to load - set emulator to normal speed. While you have Turrican running, try to hold button instead of pressing it quick. :) Also try to press space bar while standing or while crouching. :) That was best game on C64, that was released at end of C64 life, while Amiga version has improved graphics and effects, while preserving playability. There were ports for SNES and GENESIS, including strange 'Soldier of Fortune' game, that is actually using Turrican engine. Reason some C64 files are called roms, because they ARE roms, cartridges you would plug to C64 for fast load time. Other are tapes and disk images. Still sad I don't have anymore C64, but RPi is great replacement. :)

[@aaronross1859]

LOL good thinkin, thanks

[@Koffe74]

thanks. I am new to Retropie and this and other of your videos help me alot. Very good explained. Played much C64 when I was young, happy to be able to do it again :)

[@ExcelBlog]

Fantastic video... Not only does it make me wanna play another 1,000 hrs of Turrican (as if I were 13 again) but the explanations were very clear. I downloaded several C64 games from EP but they mainly only offer tap files (datasette tapes which also originally took forever to load). If anyone has a source for disk files, 'll be more than happy. Just remember that the switch from a datasette to 1541 floppy drive was like entering a whole new world (loading, while the game is running caused open mouth for me)

[@MarkTheMorose]

I believe most of the games on gamebase64 site are .d64 disk images. Hint, once at the site, click on GBC at the top to get to the search screen.

[@Naviaravideos]

Hi ETA, another great tutorial.. !! Most of the well known games are also available as cartridge image, some of them are real conversations for cartridge, others are EZ-Flash conversations wich works great and has no loading times at all.. (like WHDLoad for Amiga).. worth a try!

[@haikopaiko]

Always good simple, easy to follow tutorials at a good pace. Thank you!

[@bolloxcratcher]

If u want faster loading find the disk image d64. extention there a lot more faster but I really don't mind using tap too as reminds me of my youth back in the 80s I'd have enough time to go make a cup of tea and some toast and come back and usually all loaded depending on size happy days thanks for the clear instructions great video dood.

[@bloodbloke5670]

Ssen a lot of vids concerning retropie, yours are the best ! Very much appreciated for a noob like me.

[@wobblyman2000]

don't use .tap flies use .d64 ".tap are tapes" ".d64 are disk" d64 will load much quicker

[@RecTec77]

digital beats analog ;-)

[@simont557]

vice emulates the 64 so using .tap files emulates the datasette (tape drive) which was always slow. .prg or .d64 files are disk drive (1541 floppy drive) and will always load way faster than tape.

[@simont557]

or you can acceletate the speed of the drive in the emulator for faster load times

[@johnlovell8299]

I remember loading the x-modem software from tape so I could use my VICMODEM to log onto the BBS to check my fidonet mail. It took so long to load, I would start it before dinner and it would be loaded by about the time I finished eating. Ah, the good old days ;)

[@kyrkbymannen]

Real Retrofreaks love waiting for the tape to load. I miss the "Loading error" though.

[@Zak0nline]

thanks for creating all of these videos. it is much appreciated.

[@bedstag]

When running VICE with a PC on Windows 7 or 10, you can press "ALT + W" to toggle warp mode. It will run at around 3000% speed. Not sure if it will work with retropie. I'll have to test it when mine is up and running. I'll be posting a video of my homemade arcade multi system soon.....

[@aaronross1859]

Thanks for this!!! You saved me a ton of time. Where were you when I needed you in 1985 with my new C64. =)

[@abelgutierrez1283]

Speed hack is called "Warp Mode". You will find it in VICE main menu -> Speed settings -> Warp mode (Press B to map hotkey/Press Start/Enter to enable).

[@thegreathead]

vice has the ability to load up a ram dump. which is the entire computer's memory. so you should be able to load up the game, get to the main menu, save a dump of the system, and then later on load that ram dump to have instant access to the game. I don't know if that method is compatible with the menu system in vice under retropie, but it works well for vice on other platforms.

[@greybush38]

Also you can attach a .crt image of Epyx Fast Load Cart and that will cut load times in half.

[@RetroKong77]

How do you do that? I have it downloaded. And i have vice on retrobat build.

[@zipppiz]

It's strange how the joystick is not setup from the beginning. Anyway, finally got to play som good c64, thanks for sharing!

[@andrewdupuis1151]

I just got my very first Retropie other day thanks I got it working however some games I am not getting no sound

[@GrandpasPlace]

Back in the 80's when I had a C64, you would start a game loading. Go get a drink, make a sandwich, eat it for lunch, watch something on TV, and when you got back to the computer the game MITE be done loading. lol If you think that was bad, try downloading one of those games at 300bps. It was an all night thing to download 150k of data all while hoping that no one picked up the phone to make a call.

[@siliconstate]

Yeah I can testify to the Amiga version, if you love the C64 version, you'll love the Amiga version.

[@abedbug9953]

awesome! got c64 running on retropie. Cant imagine how much work you put into sharing this, but thank you and keep doing it, Im sure I speak for all the guys and galls and subscribers out there.....ETA PRIME...... SUBSCRIBE!!!!!!

[@runadumb]

Thanks for the videos, they are really helping me out. Loving retropie

[@chaosz911]

Thanks! This tutorial helped getting C64 up and running. Green Beret here I come :-)

[@markschmeits3702]

Toffe klassieker. Herinner me de sirene van de kazerne aan begin =) Ik hoop dat ik de c64 ook aan de praat krijg voor wat nostalgisch gamen. #ikari warriors here i come =)

[@Huddison]

Brilliant! many thanks for this video - liked and subbed

[@camosycamosy1462]

When using c64 emu on mac. You could use snapshots to save your 'tape loading' of the start of the game. Vice seems to have the same thing.

[@gerritprins5016]

thank you so much for your help i really appreciate it finally got it to work

[@MattKasdorf]

Would you please do an updated video on using Vice under RetroPie (4.4.12). Please include the setup of a PET 2001-8, and PET 8032, as well as the Vic-20.

[@santi2868]

Thanks from Germany, rhis is a great How-To

[@strepto1976]

There is an option to inject images into ram, that is instant start of games. I dont know how to set that up in retropie, but in the desktop version of the emulator it is in: Settings/Autostart settings/ PRG autostart mode/ inject to ram

[@PureChef]

thank you, i thought this would be much harder, lol

[@daphneblake7889]

You can disable the disk drive simulation to speed up loading

[@jchiar]

Great how to, thanks

[@pimphandgamester]

Thanks for this video. I was always confused by C64's loading process. I just figured if it didn't load within a few seconds or so it was corrupted or something. However I often have troubles getting past some of the built in Trainer menu's. Such as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles Coin Op...I can't get past the trainer menu. :(

[@MarkTheMorose]

Usually the space bar continued to the next screen, in my limited experience of trained games.

[@thischannelisdead6304]

Thx for tutorial ❤❤❤

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

00:34 heard your kid in the background and thought it was my 3 yr old son :)

[@JoshuaBlood]

Would you make a video on Vice / Retroarch / Launch Box?

[@reaper1122000]

Hi thanks for the vid. How did you set up ethernet?

[@britsluver]

Love you

[@HugoDaSilva7]

I think the long time to load turrican its becouse you are using .tap file, if you use .d64 will be a lot faster. ( i think turrican dont have crt files but if you find a game with a long loading time, try to find .crt file of it, it will be faster becouse they are old cartridge files.... d64=disks .tap=tape crt= cartridge...... there are .prg files also, but i dont know if its possible to load them from retro pi) Hope this Helps

[@LatherFace]

Those loading screens are actually the trademarks of the people who ripped the games back in the day!

[@BigMonkeyNads]

I installed Retropie 4 recently but when installing C64 Vice and trying to load a rom, screen will show an attempt to load the c64 game but then returns to emulation station. Any ideas?

[@adrien3967]

It does the same thing to me :(

[@mlonnqvist]

Same thing for me unfortunately. Came here hoping to find a solution

[@SiebenDX]

Just in case somebody is interested: I had the same error. Just update vice via the retropie setup from the source. But beware: this will take a while. After this, everything worked fine for me. If this is not working for you, be sure, that you have updated your retropie before.

[@aaronross1859]

And, every time you update RetroPie, you will again have to update from source to revert to non buggy code (As of 2/13/2018 version anyways.)

[@jchiar]

Did u make a video to customize the game screens and artwork?

[@Dwarfboysim]

Hi ETA Prime have u tried the newest version of VICE under Retropie 4.4. Seems to be riddled with bugs. Swap joysticks you can’t map a button too, you assign one button on a joypad as the map button and next thing u know it thinks every button is the map button. It even gets confused between controller in port one and controller in port two and the port one controller starts performing actions of the port two controller.

[@disposablebasterd]

Could be that it’s actually playing an audio file since a tap is a tape file. And it has the loading lines which means it is listening to something. Will vice work with little computer people? If so I’m all over that.

[@johndolleslager1270]

When I installed VICE on emulationstation, the vice window is small in the bottom left...Any way to make it full screen? BTW, I love your content!!!

[@zackbelt9307]

how do you get it so its just the normal c64 before the game where you can type codes and stuff

[@williamhutton4425]

F12 (or button 2), then Reset -> Soft (button 1). Works best with a keyboard--in that case you can get the F12 menu easy enough, but it can be done with just a joystick as mentioned.

[@johnathangalvin6616]

Try looking for warp in vice settings see if that speeds things up :-)

[@ETAPRIME]

Will do thank you .

[@nicholasterberg5977]

The updated emulator I use appears to emulate the fastload cartridge which allows much faster load from .tap files, not sure about d64 files though.

[@Dwarfboysim]

I'm using one of the Logitech GamePads with dual analog sticks. By default the emulator has set the joystick to be the right analog stick next to the buttons which makes it difficult to work both. How hard is it to change to be the left analog stick or even the D Pad?

[@Djclyve]

What about games that need a keyboard and a joystick?

[@tonyprice228]

So, installed Vice and loaded up some ROMs, started one up and did the menu, joystick port two thing. Game loads fine but any button I press brings up that menu again and nothing else. Can anyone point out what is wrong? Keyboard does nothing on that point too. Many thanks.

[@PSGamerDavyD]

tony price I'm having the same problem. Did you manage to figure it out?

[@MarkTheMorose]

Not all C64 games used joystick port 2. Go into the menu and select joystick port 1, and try again. Back in the day, I used to have two identical joysticks, one in each port, so it didn't much matter, but I still had to have a list of which games used which port!

[@giuseppeazzarello8426]

good evening how to emulate the run / stop keys. I was also asking if please can you make a video on how to make both the c64 and vic20 folders appear in emulatiostation thanks

[@Ghostx1977]

I use recalbox and can't get past the Press play on tape prompt. I don't have access to vice-64 as it's a prebuilt arcade system with multiple systems installed. please help

[@tonyprice228]

Hi ETA. Just about to set this up on my Pi for the first time. Quick question for you (or for anyone else who has set this up): is there a way of setting all games to joystick without having to do it per game like in the video (during loading)? Sorry if a newbie question but really don't know. Many thanks to all helpers.

[@cruzpr1]

Do have any advice on how to get the HDMI sound to work. I tried to get the audio settings but it didn't work. thanks in advance

[@flash301]

Start does nothing and F12 just restarts the game is not possible to get into the vice menu :( I can't play ghostbusters

[@bleedisaster]

hey ETA. I tried following this process but my pi is telling me something about the SDL2 binary not being avalable. Please help.

[@padistedor]

Im not getting any sound. Is there something I have to do in the sound settings?

[@Pinguin1984]

Nice Video... but how to change the disk?

[@EstebanPeralta]

I know i'm 5 years late to the party, but once you load the game you can save state on the tittle screen, so you don't have to wait to the game to load next time.

[@DutchWorkingMan]

Well... loading from tape take ages😑 Just put a 'cartridge' or 'diskette' in it... But I like the old coffee time waiting, the reward after that you can play the game. It happens often that it went wrong, and you could start over again with the tape...

[@theblackgoatofthewoods]

Hi, Can you help me, I need to know how save the programs basic C64 in a usb the raspberrry PI 3.?

[@p3l1k44n1]

I installed VICE normally on raspberry pi. Have not fucked with the settings. All the games i've tried have no sound and the speed is 900000% When i go to the speed settings and use 10% speed, the game is still 900000% speed and no sound. No matter what i try, the game will be sped up and no sound. Do i have to reinstall or what's wrong?

Hey man, thanks a lot for this awesome tutorial! I just cannot get a single C64 to run.... I get to the C64 starting screen with the input command, but there is no auto loading going on at all. When i try to load them manually over Vice it doesn't work either. I updated Vice over Source, but it didnt help. Any help would be much apreciated! I would love some Turrican

Hello, I recently built a commodore pet mini but iam having trouble. I installed GTK3VICE and did everything I had to but now I dont know what to do. I uploaded a rom to pi called c-pet.vsf its basically a commodore pet rom but when I launched my pi and then installed the rom onto it it launched commodore 64 basic v2 instead of commodore pet v4. How can I fix this? I used vice and do i need to use lr-vice? And when I turn my pi on I see commodore 64 then i click on it and there is the rom but it launches the commodore 64 basic 2v. Thanks if you help me!

How to make the screen bigger?

[@GF_Burke]

Thanks man. Only real issue I'm having is the games I play (Alice and Wonderland, Defender of the Crown, eg) are 'two sided' and thus 2 files I have extracted. The games will load, but then just like the old days, "insert side B and press **" when ready. Pushing anything, does nothing at that point. I did get Mountain King to work, but that's just a single file. Anyone out there know how to 'flip to side b'?

[@DoubleU555]

Is it just me or the installation takes eternity, like +30 minutes already...

[@patsfan4life]

Double if it's a tape game then at some point you're going to have to type run into the emulator

Making us wait the 8-10 minutos of tape loading is driving the term "emulator" too far.

[@augustjschroeder]

The autoload feature doesn't work for me. i even tried the LOAD command and it still doesn't load. can anyone help me?

[@MarkTheMorose]

In VICE under Linux, not part of Retropie, I found that I couldn't load disk (.d64) games, and could only play tape (.t64) games. I later found that if I went into one of the menus (sorry, I don't have VICE installed at present), there was an option to enable disk drives. Device 8 is the default for a disk drive, if that helps.

[@NML32]

Anyone know how to configure JiffyDos in the emulator? (I already bought JiffyDos)

[@NML32]

I got it working. Rename Jiffy kernal and drive file to match the default Vice kernal and drive file. I backed up my original vice files just in case I need to revert back. I renamed the KernalJ.bin to kernal and 1541ROMj.bin to d1541II kernal path: /opt/retropie/emulators/vice/lig/vice/C64 d1541II path: /opt/retropie/emulators/vice/lig/vice/DRIVES I tested a few disk games and they both loaded just fine and much faster.

[@buller99999]

Why can't some one make a video that helps, i've done what every video on Retropie said to do, and this shit just don't work!

[@charliepayne4033]

The reason it takes so long to load is because they are zip files
