[Ian Micheal]

HI,
This is Compilation Disk i have put together
I have not seen any one put out a new dreamfrodo Commodore c64 emulation disk for dreamcast .. this Included all the latest scene Releases and fixes and previews and free hombrew games from 2017 to 2019 Scene releases and dev comp games from https://www.nightfallcrew.com/tag/c64-big-game-pack/ Homebrew thats for sale right now is not included just the preview of them to play If you would like other dreamfrodo disks let me know. Im an old c64 scene person before Dreamcast. This is not retail games romset there are some old retail games that are included that have been fixed. there is over 15000 c64 games out there not on this disk. I can put out a top 100 of all time that works if needed. this is a c64 scene release. I will update this as im converting the prg files to d64 so we can have the whole contest games on the cdi. Not yet it will take some time. 5 are on there.

Once in directory Press (A) to select it. To return to The root of the directory just press (Y). to select other games. Once you select you game It will take you back to the c64 screen..

Press start then--->drives---> select autostart Press(A) the game will run and play.

On screen keyboard how to use. Pressing (X) brings it up Pressing (X) again will put it to the top of the screen . Pressing (X) again will remove it

Now some games you will need to swap the joystick(controller) here is how Press start ---> Misc --> swapjoysticks(controller)

You must reset between games most times this is how it's instant so dont worry.

You have to insert a disk then auto start it. Reset then repeat. follow my tutorial i have tried to make it as simple as i could hope it helps people this is one of the best emulators for dreamcast If you know how to use it.. And it give you a c64 mini for free:) you can buy new retail homebrew c64 games right now there are lots of very high standard example
https://www.knightsofbytes.games/media/ ... railer.mp4 the game is amazing shows what the c64 can do
If a game does not load or work try cold reset in the menu. Not all games are going to work. theres no way i can test them all.. some games demos will crash it not leting you load any more games. You would have to reboot your dreamcast.
If you have any ? on how to use it.

Code: Select all

 DreamFrodo v0.94 released
Third beta for DreamFrodo, this version fixes some bugs and implements some new features:
All video-related instability and corruption issues have been fixed.
"Limit Speed" option has been removed. Now, DreamFrodo is perfectly synchronized with the TV display frequency, which also means that you'll only get the "true" readings of 100%, 50% or 25% from the speedometer.
CTRL key on the Dreamcast keyboard now works properly.
The (compressed) C64 state can be saved to VMU.
Options can be saved to VMU as well.
B and Y buttons and the triggers on the first DC controller can be mapped to any C64 key.
 The emulator is from 2003/4  by Tolga Abaci

Wow that is great to see people still keeping such an important computer alive making new games for it. I always say the DC community is the most diehard and dedicated, but there were a lot of great games made for that system and people keeping it alive. I watched a video recently where somebody released an addon for it to get the system working online over modern internet.

Some of the games included in this release are for that modem lol.. course we dont have this on this emulator.

I could do that to for you to try this is just testing to see if any one wanted and teach people to use Dreamfrodo i grew up using the c64 and the emulator at first is hard to use not clear.. once you know it's easy and really cool. the savestates are really cool .. we never had that on the real thing.. All the games on the c64mini will work on here pretty much perfect..

I think i can do a demo scene one there are new amazing graghics demos .. i have to use Precise cycle version not this one i also made a games sort batch file to sort games to a to z for d64 files
Some of the most amazing demos

[Ian Micheal]

Great job Ian. Just working through the controls on your updated Dream Frodo. How do you play multi-disk games? Thank you in advance.
