The last weeks I only had my MBP with me and that slowed down my DI64 development a bit. Nevertheless, I set up VICE with ethernet support and run the network stuff there \ud83d\ude09 One core of my system handled the virtual C64 and the other one run DI64. In between I had a Monitor running to trace all packets that were floating between the two “machines”.. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This allowed me to finally implement all the nice features available in Graham’s WarpCopy64<\/a> inside DI64. That is now disk management I have ever dreamed of on my Mac: Browse through disk images on my hard disk with DI64 and if I want to check it out on the real machine a simple click transfers the image onto a real disk… Also the other way round: transferring large collections of real disks into disk images for archiving is now real fun!<\/p>\n This weekend, I returned to my real C64s and could test the WarpCopy support of DI64 for the first time with a real machine… it worked surprisingly well, so the time for a new release of DI64 was here! I had some tests with different kinds of broken disks and tuned the error reading code a bit… it works for slightly defective disks very well but still hangs sometimes on really bad cases. I will have a look at that for the next version… but I do not want to delay this release… now its time for GUI-based read\/write WarpCopy64 on your Mac: grab the brand new Version 0.7<\/a> and enjoy!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The last weeks I only had my MBP with me and that slowed down my DI64 development a bit.
