If you look in my old closed thread there are a couple of YouTube videos showing the difference between standard cbm basic loading of manic miner and jiffydos loading of manic miner both using an sd2iec

Looking at scrappy's example..
from accessing Manic PRG file - was around 43 secs with CBM basic and 11 secs with jiffydos :)

you could check to see if your c64c rom is socketed as this would make the transplant of the jiffydos easy, otherwise it would maybe be a soldering job :oQuote:

Way to go Magnox! That's a really nice set-up! I recognise Shoot em up Construction Kit on there too.
Only trouble is, the light gun isn't going to work on a flat-screen television.
What on earth will you do?!
PS. I wish my work computer set-up looked as cool as that C64! Just going to load up word. Shift + Run/Stop and *press*
Ultra cool! :thumbsup:

A big thanks to Merlin, received a rather excellent defender light gun today complete with slidey red sight that used to be easily lost :lol:
That's a nice setup! :)
Thanks Merlin :D Really proud of my baby, I love my 64!!Quote:

There was something quite magical about the C64 bundles, they seemed to strike a perfect balance between bundled games and productivity, and the artwork on the boxes always inspired interest and were well designed! :)
Lol I know how you feel matey, I got fed up of pc's and specifically emulating C64 on pc myself, just simple things like some sound routines in basic ended up sound popping and not sounding as they would on the real deal 64. And now somehow the world seems a lot brighter with my shiny new c64 in pride of place :D
Is that the same setup that you had originally, Magnox?
I went to a lot of trouble a few years ago to replicate a setup my Dad had back in the '80s, with a C64 Breadbin, a Brother M1009 printer, a 1541 disk drive and a special IEC to Parallel interface that he had at the time. he couldn't believe it when he saw the same setup again.
